Flip-Flops:

Flip flops and other flat sandals will give a great look when you are super casual. And sandals with beading, sequins and metallic detailing will be perfect for denim mini.

Sneakers:

Sneakers go well with short skirt like denim mini.

Flats:

Flats and skimmers do not work very well with the long skirts. But they go very well with the short skirts.

Tall Boots:

Knee high boots that below the knee have become popular in cooler weather. Flat and heeled shoes are an ideal match for the shorter skirts. Make sure that the shoes are simple in their design. Brown and black color boots will suit well.

Kitten Heels:

Kitten heels are delicate style of shoes that go well with the short skirts. Thongs, slides and strappy sandals will look good for the mini skirt.
