Silver Mary Jane High Heels for a Gatsby Party
A metallic shoe is the natural partner for a flapper dress covered in beads or fringe. Silver Mary Jane high heels repeat the shine of silver sequins, black and silver beading or a white fringe dress, so the outfit reads as one idea rather than a dress with unrelated shoes.
With a gold dress or a champagne one, silver shoes can still work: add a silver-tone headband or a faux pearl necklace so the shoes have something to answer to.
Kitten or High Heels: Picking a Silver Mary Jane Height
Heel height decides how long you can stay on your feet. The Mary Jane kitten heels come in a lower and a slightly taller option, as black, golden or silver shoes with a rubber sole, which suits a long wedding reception or a murder-mystery dinner where you stand and mingle for hours. The high heels and the ballet-style pair give more lift and a longer leg line under a knee-length dress.
If you rarely wear heels, start low; a small heel still looks right with a drop-waist dress.
Matching Silver Mary Jane High Heels to Dress Colors
Silver shoes behave almost like a neutral. They sit well with black, white, ivory, navy, royal blue, emerald green and every shade of gray, and they cool down a red or pink dress. The round toe pair also comes in pink and the high heels in ivory, for a softer daytime or bridal tone. For a darker, more formal outfit, compare with our black mary jane heels.
Keep metals consistent: metallic shoes look best with silver-tone jewelry and a beaded clutch or headband in the same cool family.
Silver Mary Jane Heels FAQ
Are Mary Jane heels comfortable for dancing?
The strap across the instep holds the foot in place, so they stay put better than a plain pump. A lower heel and a cushioned insole make a long night easier; break new shoes in at home first.
What dresses go with silver Mary Jane heels?
Black, white, navy and emerald flapper dresses are the easiest matches, especially with silver beaded details. They also suit a white or ivory dress at a 1920s-themed wedding.
How do I keep metallic shoes looking bright?
Give them a quick pass with a dry microfiber cloth once you are home, then bag them so the finish never rubs against other pairs.
How should I choose my size?
Trace your foot on paper late in the day, measure heel to longest toe, and read that length on the size chart.
