Not Sneakers, Not Flats—The Shoe Trend Zoë Kravitz Uses to Take Slip Skirts Into Fall and Winter
Kravitz just showed us how to make slip skirts go from a go-to summer basic to fall's chicest essential.
Slip skirts are forever, but they're often considered spring and summer staples only. To break that "rule" and turn slips into a year-round type of wardrobe staple, one specific shoe trend is necessary, and it's not a sneaker or a ballet flat; rather, I'm referring to brown pumps, the footwear style Zoë Kravitz just wore with a fall/winter 2000 Miu Miu slip skirt. Her tip? Pick a pair with a higher vamp for extra relevance and style. A vintage skirt is not required, though it is highly recommended.
In some cases, your shoe color doesn't matter, but here it does, especially since Kravitz chose an almost cucumber-green shade for her skirt. Wearing brown heels made the combination appear interesting instead of lackluster. Plus, brown automatically feels more autumnal than black or white, making it the perfect way to take slip skirts out of summer and into fall (and winter, for that matter—just add tights).

The Batman actress, who lives in Brooklyn and has been filming in New York City, specifically chose a pair of Jude's Date Pumps, a sold-out style from the shoe brand every fashion editor and stylist is obsessed with right now. Fortunately, plenty of high-vamp brown pumps are on the mhigharket, with Toteme's Contour Pumps a definite favorite as an alternative to Kravitz's exact pair. Shop the style and more options below.
