A short YouTube fashion commentary (creator: kind-iguana) about why pairing midi skirts/dresses with ankle booties can feel ‘off’ today. The speaker contrasts past trends (booties paired with midi skirts ~7–10 years ago) with current preferences for a cleaner vertical line, and recommends taller boots as a better pairing to avoid horizontal breaks at the hem that disrupt the body line.
Let's talk about midi skirts and midi dresses and what shoes or boots to pair with them. Can you see the difference here? Pairing it with a bootie used to be totally on trend. It really did. I did it myself, but it was like 7ish years ago, 10 years ago when skinny jeans were in. But now things have evolved and we're looking for a cleaner line. We don't want all those horizontal lines at the bottom of our body. So in my humble and professional opinion, I really like how a tall boot pairs with a midi skirt or dress. If you have been struggling, saying, like, something's feeling off, I used to wear this and it's not working. Ding ding ding. That might be the reason.
