How to Style Tabi Shoes: 10 Outfit Ideas for Every Occasion

The split-toe shoe isn't just a statement piece — it goes with everything. Here are 10 outfit ideas to prove it.

Why Tabi Shoes Are the Most Versatile Shoe You'll Own

If you think tabi shoes only work with one type of outfit, think again. The split-toe silhouette has a way of elevating literally anything you pair it with — from your go-to jeans-and-tee combo to a full evening look. Here are 10 ways to wear them.

Casual & Everyday

1. The Weekend Uniform

Tabi Loafers + straight-leg jeans + a vintage band tee. Throw on a denim jacket and you're out the door. Effortless cool without trying.

2. Coffee Run Chic

Wide-leg linen pants + a tucked-in tank top + Tabi Mules. Sunglasses on, iced latte in hand — you're giving main character energy at the café.

3. Casual Friday at Work

Tailored trousers + a crisp white button-down (sleeves rolled) + Tabi Loafers. Professional but with personality. Your coworkers will notice.

Feminine & Playful

4. The Midi Skirt Moment

A flowy midi skirt + fitted top + Mary Jane Tabis. The split-toe adds an unexpected edge to a soft, romantic outfit. Sweet meets cool.

5. Sundress Season

Your favorite sundress + Tabi Mules + a crossbody bag. Perfect for farmers markets, gallery openings, or anywhere you want to look effortlessly put together.

6. The Babydoll Look

A babydoll dress + Limited Edition Mary Jane Tabis + ankle socks. Embrace the eclectic, playful energy that Mary Lo is all about.

Bold & Statement

7. Power Suit Energy

An oversized blazer + matching trousers + Tabi Boots. Let the boots peek out from the wide-leg hem. This outfit commands a room.

8. All Black Everything

Black turtleneck + black straight-leg pants + black Tabi Boots. Monochrome with one killer detail — the split-toe becomes the focal point.

9. Print Mixing

A patterned top + contrasting printed pants + neutral Tabi Loafers to ground the look. Mary Lo's whimsical prints were made for this kind of outfit play.

Evening & Going Out

10. Date Night

Heeled Mary Jane Tabis + a slip dress + delicate jewelry. The heel gives you height, the split-toe gives you edge, and the whole thing gives you confidence.

The Secret to Styling Tabis

The real trick? Don't overthink it. Tabi shoes work because they're a conversation piece that doesn't overpower your outfit. Whether you're dressing up or dressing down, the split-toe adds just enough interest to make any outfit feel intentional.
