According to Zhihu’s fashion column poll, working women’s first choice is 5cm nude pointed-toe shoes paired with an umbrella skirt.

5. Trendy sports style: dad shoes
Reviews from UP, the fashion section of Bilibili, show that thick-soled dad shoes can balance the swelling of umbrella skirts.

The gray and white color matching model that has been hot-selling recently is the most versatile.

From the analysis of hot posts on the entire network, it can be seen that the core of matching umbrella skirts is to balance the sense of volume between upper and lower garments. By following these latest trends, it's easy to create looks that range from vintage to trendy.
