POV: You're the 40 tabs open on my browser, all containing spring's prettiest skirt trend: Maxi skirts. Long-line hemlines have been dominating my feeds over the last few months and I know I'm not the only one. As an editor who's easily influenced (sue me!), I've already bought a couple of maxi skirts I've been completely obsessed with, but thanks to my toned-down style, I'm always stuck on what to wear with them. Figuring our what shoes to wear with maxi skirts can be a challenge if you're looking for fresh ideas, but not to worry: I just spend hours stalking editors, models, and influencers to determine the 8 ways fashion people wear maxi skirts the best. You're welcome!

Below, shop all the ways to wear maxi skirts with sneakers, sandals, clogs, and all of the other prettiest spring shoe trends of 2023. Happy shopping.

Sporty people do it best—or, at least their footwear choices do. For the gal on the go, pairing a maxi skirt with your sneakers of choice is much easier than it looks. Embrace colorful hues and bold sneakers easily by keeping your skirt simple and sleek. 

There's something so sweet about frilly, long-line skirts and ballet flats, so it's no wonder fashion people love this dreamy combo. Lightweight tiered skirts are a proven staple throughout the spring and summer, so pairing them with one of the easiest shoes on the market now is an absolute no-brainer.

Slingbacks are one of our favorite spring 2023 shoe trends, so it's only fair that our latest go-to option adorns this list with the prettiest skirt trend of the season. Spice up an otherwise boring black skirt with metallic pumps, another fan favorite among the fashion crowd.

For a tried-and-true combo, you can't go wrong with the silk maxi skirt of your choice side-by-side with a pair of stompers. Whether you chose to wear it with platform boots or sleek booties, the footwear choice adds a bit of edginess to an already feminine silhouette. 

For an outfit that packs a punch, grab your favorite patterned, kilt-esque maxi skirt and pair it with some preppy heeled loafers. The added height will add more dimension to your outfit, emphasizing your legs and making you feel like the coolest librarian on the block. Just take it from our editor Jasmine.

Who doesn't love a monochrome moment? As referenced with this Mary Jane-centered outfit, keeping your footwear options in a similar tone to your maxi skirt makes all the difference when it comes to putting a sleek, elevated look together. I'll take one of each!

Spring is the ultimate time to make a statement. Keep your top basic with a white t-shirt and footwear choices simple, choosing instead to play up colors, textures, and shapes with interesting maxi skirts that will make anyone do a double take.

Like our editor Yusra put it, "Miu Miu, but make it modest." The maxi skirt trend is another stylish form of breezy, modest dressing— and when paired with spring's ultimate cool girl shoe, the world is your oyster. Clogs are coming back in full force, so opt to pair the silhouette with a sharply-tailored skirt reminiscent of everyone's favorite cool girl brand this spring.
