A Mary Jane is one of my favorite style of shoes. It reminds me so much of being a kid and going to private school in our uniforms. And even though I used to hate putting on that uniform, somehow, years later, I have fond memories of it and look back on that look with fondness.
Mary Janes seem to be having a big moment right now. We’re seeing lots of cute Mary Janes for fall and winter, and are now seeing them again for spring. Just changing up the material or colors makes them seasonally appropriate.
What is a Mary Jane exactly? A Mary Jane is typically a rounded-toe shoe with one single strap across the foot. They come in flat versions and any heel height you can imagine. Plus, you can find pointed toe ones, square toe, and double strap ones as well.
Go for bedazzled, leather, patent, velvet or suede. And for spring and summer, try raffia or linen styles. These Mary Janes truly transcend seasons and personal styles.
How To Wear Mary Janes
With your favorite jeans, slacks or skirts.
These shoes really are super versatile and you can wear them with any type of bottoms in your closet. Casually with jeans and a tee and cute jacket. Or to the office with trousers or a nice skirt. You can even wear them with dresses, shorts and so on. This is not a shoe that has any limitations in terms of what you can wear with them, just what you think looks good!
Try pairing Mary Janes with a sock
A really fun way to style your Mary Janes is to add a sock to them. It gives such a cute Parisian vibe to your look. This also makes your shoes a bit more comfortable, no rubbing!

More Mary Janes To Shop
Let’s get into some favorite Mary Janes to shop broken down by category. From wearing them to the office, to ones for spring and more casual outfits. Here are some more favorites to shop.
Dressy Mary Janes For The Office And Events
Try black patent Mary Janes, or high heeled versions. I love a pointed toe for a more polished and elevated look than the round toe which can feel a bit more casual.

Embellished Mary Janes and mesh Mary Janes seem to be having a BIG moment. If you’ve been wanting to add a really trendy piece to your closet, give these a try. And you can kill two birds with one stone and get a mesh and embellished Mary Jane all in one! Plenty of really fun options.
Mary Janes For Spring And Summer
For spring and summer, try Mary Janes in raffia fabrics. Or linens in denim and soft pastel colors. These are great to wear with spring dresses, lightweight denim or linen.
