I recently bought a faux leather skirt—a midi with a button-down front and a tie-waist—and was excited to wear it. I stood in front of the mirror, tried it on with my favourite jumper, and knew it was a winning combination. “I’ll wear this for my next walk with a friend,” I told myself as I admired my reflection. “Now, for shoes.”
Assuming this would be an easy task, I encountered an unexpected stumbling block. Every shoe I tried on just didn’t seem to work. Granted, many of my shoes are made from black leather, the same texture and colour as the skirt, and they all felt too heavy. Particularly as we’re entering spring. So I decided to turn to some of my favourite influencers to see what they deem as the best shoes to wear with leather outfits.
