How to Pull Off Wearing Sneakers With Skirts (and Dresses) This Summer

Short and Sweet: Keep things simple and sporty by completing your mini dress with sleek sneaks. Pair short, flowy dresses with low tops to maximize leg length sans heels. Extra points for integrating trendy belt bags, statement earrings, and small specs. (Photo via Daniel Zuchnik/Getty Images)

Redefining Layers: Why choose between a skirt and pants when you can have both?! This layered look transitions from warm days to cool summer nights. Avoid extremely long *or* short skirts and instead opt for mid-length styles over relaxed fit pants or joggers. Layer on, layer off. (Photo via Edward Berthelot/Getty Images)

Dress for Success: Vacation season is all about trailblazing while looking fab. Pack with confidence knowing just how good your summer smocks will look styled (and snapped) with the right sneakers. Say yes to socks and sneakers and belted and mullet cuts while avoiding floor-length dresses altogether. (Photo via Edward Berthelot/Getty Images)

Skirt the Issue: Whether mini or midi (and every length in between) it's clear that skirts were made for sneaking around — in sneakers, that is. Bring on the plaid, the denim, and the animal print styles and ensure this summer is your most fashionable yet. Integrate a textured blouse or a trendy logo top to fully nail this warm-weather look.
