Seen in the English countryside: The "Ugly" It shoes that enhance white skirts, making them appear much cooler than before...
There are countless destinations to explore across the globe, but I must admit: If I had the choice to be anywhere at this moment, it would be in the English countryside, dressed in a lovely white skirt similar to the one Elsa Hosk recently wore. Hosk took a trip to Thyme in the Cotswolds and, as one often does in such a picturesque location, she shared her experience on Instagram, showcasing her outfits, to our delight. Among these outfits was a white midi skirt, styled in a refreshingly unique way.
In my opinion (which holds some weight since I have a knack for celebrity fashion), Elsa Hosk ranks as one of the best-dressed celebrities of our era. I say this without exaggeration. Her recent look in the English countryside exemplifies this perfectly. Rather than teaming her white poplin midi skirt (and blue button-down) with sandals, ballet flats, or sneakers like many did last summer when the trend gained traction, she opted for a pair of Alaïa's latest fishnet flat shoes: the Fishnet Slippers. This newer version of Alaïa's popular buckled Mary Jane ballerinas boasts a slightly sportier design, featuring a velcro closure and a graphic logo on the heel. Yes, they have an "ugly" charm that is quite appealing. The minimalist fishnet slippers lend an unexpected, trendy twist to her outfit, aligning with the “wrong shoe theory” that fashion enthusiasts are championing in 2025.
The conclusion? If you wish for your white midi skirt to appear trendier and more contemporary for 2025, consider pairing it with sporty flats just like Hosk did in the Cotswolds. Browse to find some suitable options (including white midi skirts, of course).
