Finding the right pair of shoes to go with a new skirt - or vice versa - can be an unforgiving task, so we've decided to make matters easier. These six skirts will work with ALL styles of footwear, from trainers to heels, mules to knee-high boots. Read on to find out which ones you should be snapping up before they sell out - and discover their sole mates...
1. The pleated midi skirt
This skirt's neutral hue, midi length and clean-yet-feminine cut make it a wear-with-anything wonder buy. Allow it to skim over a pair of knee high boots for a '70s feel, add heels for a ladylike vibe, or pop on a pair of skater-style trainers for lazy day chic.
Skirt (opens in new tab), £140, Reiss; boots (opens in new tab), £51, Jones Bootmaker; slip-on sneaker (opens in new tab), £165, Russell & Bromley; slingback block heels (opens in new tab), £68, Office
2. The sweater skirt
OK, you're familiar with sweatshirts, but how about sweatskirts? This boiled (yes, boiled) wool number could be a wardrobe game-changer. Pull it on and you've already nailed the sporty/classy balancing act demanded by the athleisure trend, so feel free to dress it up - or down - as you will.
Skirt (opens in new tab), £225, Joseph; shoe boots (opens in new tab), £225, L.K. Bennett; trainers (opens in new tab), £120, KG Kurt Geiger; ankle boots (opens in new tab), £39.99, Public Desire
3. The denim pencil skirt
The denim skirt isn't just for summer - it's for Christmas too! A darker wash and tailored feel make this one easy to dress up or down.
Skirt (opens in new tab), £230, Acne Studios; knee high boots, (opens in new tab) £249, Hobbs; studded ankle boots (opens in new tab), £84, French Connection; white pumps (opens in new tab), £50, Superga
4. The military skirt
The military trend is set to run and run, so get in on the act now. The understated gold detailing on this classic A-line midi skirt will elevate your workwear staples to whole new levels. But don't make the mistake of discarding it after hours: just dress it down with trainers, or up with metallic heels. Red shoes will subtly accentuate the military vibe, whilst gold will enhance the impact of the detailing.
Skirt, £45, Oasis; court shoes (opens in new tab), £18, JD Williams; ankle boots (opens in new tab), £66, French Connection; trainers (opens in new tab), £59.99, Converse
5. The leather wrap skirt
Wrap skirts straddle the border between smart and casual. So which way do you take them? The choice is yours. Add some sass with a printed boot in a contrasting texture, or inject a sporty edge with a pair of fashion trainers.
Skirt (opens in new tab), £280, Whistles; over-the-knee boots (opens in new tab), £595, L.K. Bennett; leather trainers (opens in new tab), £70, French Connection; ankle boots (opens in new tab), £269, Hobbs
6. The prom skirt
Thought you could only wear heels with a showstopper like this? Think again. So long as you opt for a shade which meshes with the tones of the skirt, you can wear any style of shoe you like - including trainers.
Skirt (opens in new tab), £59, Marks & Spencer; metallic leather slipper (opens in new tab), £430, Gucci; trainers, £55.24, Lacoste; metallic crossover sandals (opens in new tab), £514.13, Gucci
