While flat Mary Janes are adorable, opt for these instead if you're aiming for a more sophisticated look.

      If you're reading this, it's likely that you own a pair of flat Mary Janes. With the trend's enduring popularity, many of us have them by now. While they certainly create adorable outfits, flat Mary Janes might not offer the sophistication some occasions require. I truly believe that shoes can be transformative, and the pair Anne Hathaway chose to wear while out and about in Manhattan elevated her outfit far beyond what flat Mary Janes could achieve.

      If you've guessed that I'm talking about high-heel Mary Jane pumps, you're spot on. Hathaway chose black patent-leather platforms, which she styled with a white T-shirt, a pleated grey miniskirt, and a plaid shirt. Had she opted for the flat version of this classic trend, her outfit would have been nice but not nearly as chic or suitable for a night out in NYC.

      If you’re looking for a new pair of heels to wear all year round, both day and night, continue reading to shop Hathaway's exact Sézane pair along with a selection of my favorite options available right now.
