The Classic Mary Jane's Are Making a Come Back

The Mary Jane’s saw its peak during the roaring 20’s. And they’re making a comeback 100 years later. The vintage look with the strap across the vamp of the foot give these shoes their iconic look. While we wouldn’t call this a “trend” since it’s a timeless style, it’s definitely trending right now and has become popular again. Here’s where you can find some chic Mary-Jane’s and a few with a twist.

Vivaia’s Mary Jane

Vivaia has a lock on the Mary Jane look. They offer a square-toe option or almond-toe option and a wide range of colors and prints. We love the classic neutral and black Chanel-vibes, the sophisticated tweed cap toe, and their bolder options including red plaid and turquoise print.

Instead of leather, Vivaia’s shoes are made of a soft knit upper from 6 plastic bottles. The insoles are soft, antimicrobial, and breathable. But most importantly, they’re machine washable and hold up very well when you air dry.

Everlane The Day Mary Jane

For the minimalist, leather look, you can’t go wrong with Everlane. These beauties are made of buttery soft Napa leather that naturally mold to your feet. It’s classic square toe and delicate strap scream effortless, yet elegant. And we also like that the strap is connected to the sole of the shoe — rather than across the top — for that extra support.

Sam Edelman Brynn Platform Heels or And Other Stories Mary Jane Pumps

We tried not to get too excited when we saw these platform heels. The chunky heel gives an edgier look to the classic Mary Jane’s. Both options have a platform sole with a mega block heel and delicate ankle strap that’s probably holding on for it’s dear life.

While the Sam Edelman offers a rounded upper, And Other Stories goes with a more polished finish with a squared detail. But, both options sell out fast, so snag them when you can.

Vibi Venezia Mary Jane Flats

Vibi Venezia is a winner for casual Mary Jane’s. The embroidery work on the Botanical Motif is breathtaking, and the lightness of its cotton upper is great for warmer weather. And with keeping with natural fibers, these shoes have a leather insole that will naturally mold to the shape of your foot, while being breathable and odor-resistant.

Naturalizer Talissa Pumps

We would be remiss if we didn’t include a classic Mary Jane pump with an almond toe combined with a thinner but supportive heel. Not surprisingly, Naturalizer has a shoe with a dual-density foam-cushioned insole and leather upper to deliver that sophisticated style. Colors range from classic black leather to a nude suede, navy patent and a gold that they call “gravel.”
