Not Ballet Flats or Sandals—SJP's Chic Combination of Shoes and Midi Skirt Reminds Us of Carrie Bradshaw.

      Unlike winter, when assembling a polished outfit feels effortless, dressing for summer can bring its own challenges. With each outing feeling hotter and more humid than the last, maintaining a chic appearance is often more difficult than it sounds. That's why I find it beneficial to have a few dependable outfit formulas ready for the hottest days of summer—and Sarah Jessica Parker has reminded me of one of the most stylish ones. On a warm day in New York, Parker opted for a light, airy cotton skirt in the season's favored midi length. This "awkward" hemline, which falls to mid-calf, has become a favorite among fashion enthusiasts this summer. While undeniably classy, this length can be tricky to style. Despite its popularity, I've often found pairing midi skirts with shoes challenging, which is why Sarah Jessica's latest choice caught my eye.

      Instead of sandals or mesh flats, Sarah Jessica paired her midi skirt with a sleek pair of slingback heels. Always sophisticated, this polished shoe trend enhances any outfit. When worn with midi skirts, slingbacks also contribute to a longer, leaner silhouette—especially useful, as calf-grazing hemlines can sometimes visually shorten the legs. Inspired by one of the most fashionable shoe-and-skirt pairings I've encountered this season, continue reading to shop the slingbacks and midi skirts I recommend right now.
