What Colour Shoes to Wear with Black Midi Skirt

The best shoe colours to wear with a black midi skirt are black, white and tan. Black with black is a classic, unbroken line; vary textures (leather, knit, satin) so it doesn't flatten. Beige, grey, cream and burgundy also work. Be careful with dark brown: dark brown next to black looks like a near-miss match; go black or clearly lighter.
