French Women Live in Mary Janes—15 Pairs That Fit the Part

The brilliance of Mary Janes can be extended further than the variety of heel heights to suit all wearers. Designers and creators have taken the identifying feature of the shoe, the buckle details, and played on this with numerous straps, embellished detailing and varied colourways. The styling of this shoe makes it even more endearing if that’s possible. Despite being an elegant shoe, it lends its-self as much to eveningwear as daily jaunts, with styling ranging from shorts to jeans to midi dresses and mini skirts.

In celebration of the return of this shoe, I’ve highlighted the best Mary Janes at varied heel heights, and added some examples of ways to wear them this season.
