The shorter the skirt, the lower and/or thicker the heel — a slightly pointy-toed ballet flat, a wedge, a newer block heel, or an architectural heel all work with shorter skirt lengths. Even a low sandal/bootie hybrid or a lace-up flat would work well (but know your office!). These are some of our favorite comfortable low heels for work as of 2024…...
The most classic look is a skinny heel, even if it’s a kitten heel — but anything too high (4″ or over) may look weird given current trends. If you’re going to go with a flat here it should be sleek — a slightly pointed toe, or for some reason I like the idea of a smoking slipper/loafer/mule (with a fairly “delicate” tongue, like this loafer).
A higher heel always works best here, whether it’s a block heel or a classic stiletto. If you’ve really got a casual day ahead, a bootie or a sandal/bootie/lace-up hybrid might work with a midi skirt, but it’s hard to make it anything but a trendy look.

So let’s run through the rules of skirt length I live by: “Fingertip” length is BS. Fingertip length on me (5’9″) is too short but fingertip length on a woman who is considerably shorter than me looks more conservative. Don’t look at the length of the skirt or dress on a model or mannequin (are mannequins still around, I do so much ...
