How to Wear Mary Janes with Your Favorite Fall and Winter Outfits

Lisa Riggs
Mary Janes are a traditional and fun shoe that add a bit of youthful energy to each and every outfit. Available in a variety of colors and heel height, the Mary Jane is a fun and stylish shoe that can be easily incorporated into all your favorite cold weather outfits. This fashion article will offer some fun suggestions on how you can make a switch from those pumps and flats and jazz up your Fall and Winter outfits by choosing fashion forward Mary Janes as your go to footwear.

Wear Mary Janes With Business Suits To The Office.

Fall is the time to place those short sleeved blouses at the back of the closet and move those cute but professional business suits to the front. Pair your favorite suit with dark colored tights and a great pair of Mary Jane shoes. That unexpected foot wear will add a bit of pizazz to an otherwise conservative outfit for the work day. Choose a flat or low heeled shoe for maximum comfort at the office.

Add Mary Janes To Your Favorite Little Black Dress Ensemble.

Most women have a little black dress hanging in their closet that they faithfully wear several times during the year. Slimming and always fashionable, that black dress can get a quick update by wearing it with this fun choice of shoes. A dark pair of pantyhose or tights, simple jewelry and a great pair of Mary Janes can take this outfit to another level. If you have worn this outfit several times in the past, always to a great reception, you can be sure that the change in footwear will draw new attention to your fashionable and flattering ensemble.

Choose Mary Janes To Wear With Your Short Skirts And Tights.

A great look for Fall and Winter is the short skirt, cropped sweater or turtleneck and dark tights outfit. While boots or flats are generally the footwear chosen to top off this ensemble, make a fun change this year by adding Mary Jane shoes to this stylish look. A pair of these great shoes in either a black, brown or navy color will give your seasonal outfit a youthful feeling, while maintaining the classic appeal. Take into consideration whether you generally choose this outfit for work or play, and select your heel height accordingly.

Wear Mary Janes On Those Warm Fall Days.

Occasionally, the weather trend does not follow the calendar and several days in the early Fall are still warm and humid. It somehow does not seem appropriate to put those flip flops or sandals back on, even though the temperature definitely calls for it. Mary Janes look great with no stockings or tights when worn with Capri pants or flowing skirts. You can keep cool in these shoes, while still maintaining a seasonal look.

Add These Fun Shoes To Your Traditional Christmas Skirt Or Jumper.

Many gals simply don't feel like it's the Christmas holiday without donning a plaid skirt or jumper. Black Mary Janes look wonderful when paired with a traditional plaid pattern in a skirt or jumper style dress. These shoes add nice amount of polish and sophistication to the festiveness of the plaid pattern. The shape of the shoe, which is both traditional but still youthful and fun, provides a nice balance to the boldness of the Christmas plaid color and design.

Choose These Shoes To Go With Your New Year's Eve Party Dress.

Mary Janes are available for purchase in a wide variety of bright and bold colors, which make them very easy to pair with a fun party dress. When choosing footwear to party the night away this New Year's Eve, step outside your comfort zone and go with a sleek but comfortable Mary Jane. Choose a shoe in a complimentary color to your holiday dress and enjoy the head turns you get when the entire outfit is in place. Since the holiday is generally a night of dining and dancing, choose a shoe that will offer you the most comfort while adding a nice bit of spice to your New Year's ensemble.
