If there's one thing Parisians and the Milanese actually agree on (besides espresso and expertly executed haircuts), it's the unmatched chicness of a great skirt-and-boot combo. As a fashion editor, my work involves finding the best street style during fashion month, and frankly, if there's one style formula I saw everywhere, it was a sleek slip skirt paired with the perfect boots. Whether it was ankle boots with an oversize blazer or knee-high boots with a slinky satin blouse, the streets were a master class in looking like you didn't try… but definitely did.
Naturally, I'm now on a mission to re-create the magic without hopping on a flight to France or Italy. I've rounded up the best outfits to shop now, inspired by the cool girls effortlessly strutting through the arrondissements and cobblestone streets of Milan. Below, shop the best slip skirt and boots outfit ideas.
