However, once you’ve mastered the art of wearing these shoes, you will find that it can be quite rewarding because Mary Jane pumps offer a bit more than the usual. These shoes add character and oomph, and it allows you to achieve certain looks where your classic pumps might fail. Allow me to illustrate:

Sweet and Preppy

Look sweet and preppy by wearing your Mary Jane pumps with a skirt, blouse, cardigan, and some pearl necklace and earrings.

Mischa Barton

Vampy

Channel your inner Megan Fox. Look vampy by pairing your Mary Janes with a short black dress. Don’t forget to wear your red lipstick.

Megan Fox

Old Hollywood

Reminisce the past and look “old Hollywood glamorous” by wearing your Mary Janes with a vintage inspired dress. Fix your hair by parting and waving it on the sides.

Kate Bosworth

Mod and Funky

If you’re not into the sweet and preppy get-up, you can opt to be mod and funky instead. Wear your Mary Janes with a short deconstructed or color block dress. Tights are optional.

Rachel Bilson

Posh and Sexy

Channel Serena Van Der Woodsen. Wear your Mary Janes with a short dress and a rich structured coat or blazer. Make sure your hair is fixed in a sleek bun. If you want to wear your hair down, make sure it is smooth with no stray hair in place. The textured stockings are optional.

Blake Lively in her Serena Van Der Woodsen character

There you have it. Five (5) different looks you can wear with your Mary Jane pumps. Don’t limit yourself to the five (5) though. If you find a certain look that works for you, then go for it. Experimenting with different looks is always a good way to discover your personal style.
