It’s an unfortunate truth that not every flat shoe works with a skirt. Whilst trainers can feel a little clunky against the feminine silhouette and simple slides often fall flat, I’ve found that skirts look their chicest when paired with an elegant ballet flat.
Offering all the polish of a heel with the comfort of staying firmly grounded, ballet flats are the first shoe trend I think of whenever warm-weather dressing rolls around.
Putting the timeless style to the test, Daisy Edgar-Jones demonstrated just how elegant the pairing can be. Spotted in Cannes, the actor styled sleek black ballerina flats with a flowing skirt, creating one of the chicest daytime looks I’ve seen in some time.

Wearing a coordinating Jil Sander skirt alongside a geometric bra and the Linea bag—all from the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2026 collection—Daisy’s look was pretty, feminine and genuinely comfortable.
