The Mary Jane shoe trend continues to go strong. Back in the day, the classic shoes were the preserve of schoolgirls and, well… chic French women’s wardrobes. But that all changed a few seasons ago, when they suddenly started appearing in the feeds of smart dressers on this side of the Channel. Now, Mary Janes have solidified their place as one of the most in-demand shoe styles on the market.
For a long time, black Mary Janes ruled the streets. But as Mary Janes have become more and more essential to the modern aesthetic, fashion insiders have begun to explore more options. Between velvet and satin, the fabric options offered go far beyond leather. But today, I want to take a closer look at a color I’m starting to see more of. Now that spring is here, actually When you arrive, you’ll find colorful Mary Janes scattered everywhere.
From elegant browns to beautiful buttery yellows, scroll through to see the six Mary Jane color trends set to be big in summer 2024.
