How To Wear Mary Janes Like A French Girl
This season Mary Jane shoes are having a moment and are more classic and on-trend than ever. Mary Janes are stylish, effortlessly chic, and a staple basic shoe style for French women. Today, I share several ways to style and wear Mary Janes like a French girl. You too can have this approachable aesthetic and look timeless, classic, and chic for the season.
What Are Mary Jane Shoes
Mary Jane shoes are known for a closed, rounded toe, low heel, and a single strap across the top of the foot with a buckle or button closure. They are incredibly versatile and can easily be dressed up with trousers or a dress or worn casually with jeans and a blazer.
Mary Janes come in several styles such as the quintessential French ballet flat or a pump version which provides the perfect heel height if you want something more than a flat.
Outfit Inspiration For How To Wear Mary Janes
Below, I am sharing 7 ways to wear Mary Janes like a French girl. My favorite style for the season is the Sézane Soline Babies, which I am styling in each of the photos below. They are incredibly comfortable even with the heel height. I wear my normal shoe size.
Of course, there are so many other style combinations and colors of Mary Janes to pick from this season. If you want something other than basic black go for white, cream, or even a pop of color with Red.

When you want to elevate a basic outfit of a trench coat and button down, add a pair of Mary Janes to keep the look stylish and classic.
I am wearing my favorite Sézane Scott Trench with dark AGOLDE denim (dark denim is a bit more dressy than blue denim), and a structured white button-down from ME+EM.

For more of a dressed-up look go with a black blazer, white tee, and black trousers. The look is dressy yet still feels relaxed yet sophisticated with the Mary Janes.
