When it comes to Mary Janes’s shoes, there’s one ultimate battle: Should I wear them with socks or not?
Some may think it is awkward to wear with socks but some think pairing socks with Mary Janes can truly elevate the whole look.
Well, for me, the answer is always the same – why not BOTH?!
It’s always fun to try out the combinations and surprise yourself with how many different styles you are able to pull off!
So ladies, if you are wondering how to wear Mary Janes with socks?
Here are the 7 ideas and 18 outfits! Enjoy loves!
1. WEAR MARY JANES WITH CLASSIC WHITE SOCKS
Let’s start with the basics, shall we? Of course, we have to mention the classic schoolgirl look.
With the black Mary Janes and the white socks, this signature looks just never really go out of style.
It’s just youthful and refreshing in a timeless way!
While some people may think this is too ordinary, well, that really depends on how you style it.
Of course, it can look “too obedient” if you style it with just a plain sweater long dress.
However, if you wear a white cropped T-shirt with a royal blue pleated skirt dress, that killer look can truly bring our interesting side of Mary Jane!
So ladies, if you first tried wearing socks with Mary Jane, try out this classic combo first as it just looks amazingly versatile with most of the outfits!
2. PAIR MARY JANE WITH SHEER SOCKS FOR A PLAYFUL EDGY LOOK
If the previous look is too classic for you, no worries, let’s spice up your Mary Jane shoes with sheer socks for a playful and edgy style!
With the round toe and stripes design, let’s be real, Mary Jane sometimes can look a bit too conservative.
However, sheer socks are always powerful enough to change the style of the shoe drastically.
For example, if you pair white dotted sheer socks to the shoes, it just adds a sense of cuteness and femininity to the outfit.
Vice versa, if you pair a with the banana prints sheer socks to the Mary Jane, no way it can look boring ever again!
Once you know how versatile sheer shoes are, I am pretty sure you will get addicted to collecting them!
3. PAIR MARY JANE WITH RIBBON SOCKS
Besides sheer socks, you can also achieve the cute “kawaii” look with Mary Janes.
If you type “ribbon socks with Mary Janes” on Pinterest, you will be pleasantly surprised by the flattering designs!
Also, let’s not forget about the fabrics as that can really change the vibes of the socks!
If ribbon socks are too kawaii for you, try wearing plain plush white socks for a cute fuzzy look!
For festive occasions like Christmas, I will always wear velvet red socks with black Mary Jane heels – just lovely!
4. PAIR MARY JANES WITH FISHNET TIGHTS
When it comes to fishnet tights, people always think they can easily look tacky and sexual.
Well, if you pair the fishnet tights with elegant closed-toe shoes like Mary Janes, that will never be the case!
The polishness of the shoes can balance out the sexiness of the fishnet tights.
With a graceful navy blue cape coat and a nice knee-length dress, here’s how to avoid looking trashy in fishnet tights!
As a side note, we should opt for micro-fishnet tights.
As the big fishnet tights can look too exposed by showing too much skin, micro-fishnet tights can give you more coverage.
Actually, if you don’t the tights closely, you can’t even realize the fishnets.
So relax ladies, fishnet tights can be approachable for our daily wardrobe for sure!

5. WEAR SOCKS AND SHOES IN THE SAME COLORS
I never thought of styling Mary Janes with socks in this way but it’s truly refreshing and stylish!
If you want to go hardcore monochrome for a high-fashion look, this is the no-fail way to wear your Mary Janes with socks!
Not only does it look edgy, but pairing the leggings and shoes with the same color can easily elongate your legs and make them appear to be slimmer and longer visually.
Mary Janes, in general, is in round-toe design and unfortunately will make our legs appear to be thicker.
This monochrome pairing can perfectly balance out the stubbiness.
Plus, sometimes we just want to look low-key with the Mary Janes.
For example, I love pairing my dark red velvet leggings with the black Mary Janes for a subtle vintage look!

It is completely normal to have tummy rolls. I come to realize that social media isn’t showing the reality… at all.
My happiest moments in life had nothing to do with the way my body looked.
I don’t have to be pretty like her, I can be pretty like …ME.

6. PAIR MARY JANES WITH PATTERNED TIGHTS
During the cool days, wearing pattern tights is always going to elevate your look.
As tights are more stimulating than short socks, they just naturally help draw people’s attention to the shoes and make them the highlight of the outfit.
If you want a graceful touch to your outfit, pairing white over-the-knee tights can be a lovely choice!
