Almost every time I have posted an outfit with a pleated skirt, I’ve paired it with heels. I love the way a pleated skirt looks with heels, but there are definitely other options if you need something more comfortable or warm to wear instead. Today, I’m sharing three different ways (and three different shoe pairings) with a pleated skirt. Bonus, all three of these skirts are from Amazon!

Three Ways to Wear a Pleated Skirt
Sizing Reference: I’m 4’10” and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. I list my sizing beside each link to help you compare when shopping online.
With Heels
Let’s go ahead and get the obvious option out of the way. A pleated midi skirt looks great with a pair of heels. Midi length anything looks best with something that gives you a little bit of height, but it’s not the only option. I’m wearing this skirt in a size small and in the color “brown”. Some skirts are easier than others to pair with something chunky like a thick sweater and this one happens to be an easy one. I didn’t do any tricks when I paired the two of these together, just tucked the sweater fully in and let it naturally pull out some with wear and movement. My sweater is also from Amazon and I’m wearing it in XXS.

With Boots
The key to wearing boots with a midi skirt is finding an option that fits very slim to your leg. If the boots are chunky/wide on your calves, it just looks heavy. I chose to go with a pair of tights and a slim sock bootie. It’s a warm option that still elongates my legs! I’m wearing this skirt in XS. Knee High Boot Option Here

With Flats
For my lovers of flats out there, first of all – I’m with you! Comfort is always my best friend. You can definitely wear flats with a midi skirt as well. I would recommend going with something nude/close to your skin tone to elongate your legs. I chose a ballet flat for this outfit, but a pointed toe will elongate your legs more.
