How To Wear Mary Janes With A Dress From Work To Weekend Days
Knowing how to wear Mary Janes with a dress for work will instantly elevate your weekday wardrobe.
1. Experiment With Color – Black pairs will always look chic and go with everything you own. However, I love subtle colorways that add an element of interest to an otherwise neutral fall lineup. For example, the mini Tres Vivier crystal-embellished patent leather pumps by Roger Vivier. Take a day off from black and navy looks this season, and pair these pretty shoes with the Marianna Izel mini dress by L’Academie. Then, add the Bayswater, grained-leather satchel bag by Mulberry for maximum style points at the office.
2. Style Mary Janes With LBDs After Dark – The Medusa plaque metallic ballerina shoes by Versace couldn’t be more perfect for nights out. Take your look seamlessly from day to night with these stunning silver shoes, and set off the metallic finish with a sleek black dress. I highly recommend adding Valentino Garavani’s sequined crepe mini dress to your cart before it sells out. Then pick up the gorgeous crescent mini crystal-embellished faux leather shoulder bag by Self Portrait. This adorable, top handle design will go perfectly with this fit and countless others you already own.

How To Wear Statement Mary Janes With A Dress
Learn how to wear Mary Janes with a dress… and let them steal focus! These shoes are cute, comfortable, and seriously chic and the right pair will transform any outfit! Need proof?
3. Switch Your Heels For Printed Mary Janes – Pair a simple black dress (like the Burke draped dress by Simkhai) with the Carla leopard print ballet flats by Gianvoto Rossi. Firstly, these statement-printed flats are the ideal alternative to heels for dinner dates and cocktail parties. Secondly, though they’re printed, the neutral colorway means they’ll go with countless outfits. Finally, add Chloe’s mini cape leather crossbody bag and let the gold hardware elevate the playful animal print.
4. Style Silver Mary Janes With Party Dresses – Finally, when the dress code (or your outfit) calls for a little height, look no further than the silver 25mm Tres Vivier leather pumps by Roger Vivier. These gorgeous Mary Janes are the perfect party shoes and will be a go-to for the fall and winter seasons. Style them with a little black dress and a sleek designer clutch for the ultimate evening look. I recommend the Daphne dress by Isabel Marant and the Bonny gathered crystal-embellished clutch by Jimmy Choo.
