What outfit/look would go well with these shoes?

I’ve purchased these Mary Jane ballets for late summer/autumn but not sure what to team them up with.

I’m trying to move out of my comfort zone of skinny jeans/leggings/oversized sweat shirt/converse combo and edge towards a slightly smarter look but still want to keep it comfy as I hate ‘dressing up’.

Been looking on Pinterest for inspiration but all the Mary Jane looks on there are an exaggerated look with ankle socks and calf length silk skirts or super baggy rolled up cargos. I’m 50 and don’t think I’ll pull that look off!

I am a size 10 and 5’6 and have always loved my skinny jeans/leggings.

I know skinny jeans are sneered at atm (15 year old dd hates them) but I really don’t like flares/baggy trousers/jeans and just can’t pull the look off. I’m thinking skinny ankle grazer smart jeans or Capri/ankle length trousers with these shoes may look ok teamed with a nice shirt or oversized jumper?

Any suggestions for an every day look?

I think you want a classic straight leg, maybe cropped/ankle grazer. For jeans, Levis 501 cropped are a good classic shape, slim enough to be flattering but not skinny.

Definitely straight leg jeans with chunky knit wear or fitted T-shirts and blazers would look cool

Where are they from please

Love those. I have similar in a cornflower blue. I wear mine with midaxi dresses mainly.

Agree with the previous posters, try a straight legged slightly cropped jean in a mid or dark wash, with a chunky knit or blazer/trench. I think skinny jeans will look throw off the proportion of the minimal style shoes so you need a bit more volume in the trousers. I really like the Levi's wedgie straight jeans, they are a mid rise, fitted through the hip and thigh but a little more relaxed in the calf, a good transition from skinny to straight

Not with trousers. With a dress.

Thanks everyone.
I am shopping with dd today so will have a look around.
I hardly ever never wear dresses but will definitely go try some, I really fancy a change up in the way I dress.
They are from Very Agiftandacurse

I think they'd be good with a pair of culottes

New Look also have the same ones, I really like the cream too.

I wear mine with wide leg crops and a French tucked top. They also look good with this style jeans or midi skirts.
