Mary Janes Might Be The Most Stylish Shoes Of The Time

If you love to keep up with all the trends of the season, there's a good chance you're always thinking about every aspect of your outfit - from the top all the way to your toes. Although some of us prefer to slip into those tried-and-tested pair of shoes every time we need to leave the house, others want to stay one step ahead of the trends.

That doesn't mean we have to have one or the other. What if we could have the best of both worlds? Shoes that are fashionable and can go with any outfit? That's right; loafers better start to watch their back, as Mary Janes might be the most stylish shoes of all time.

Plenty of famous faces have been seen rocking Mary Janes

Olivia Rodrigo. Bella Hadid. Sarah Jessica Parker. What do they all have in common? While most of the time they're all known to rock their own unique styles, things took a major turn at the end of 2022 when they were all spotted rocking Mary Janes - and if there's one thing we've learned, it's these women know a thing or two about how to set a trend. As if that wasn't enough, Mary Janes have even been spotted on the small screen in recent months. As if Whitney Peak bringing full Blair Waldorf back to the reboot of the drama 'Gossip Girl' wasn't enough, Camille Razat was also spotted rocking some Mary Janes in the rom-com series 'Emily in Paris.'

What has made Mary Janes so popular again?

Okay, Mary Janes might be the most stylish shoes of all time, but why have they grown to be so popular again? That's simple: bringing the past back to life. We've seen Y2K just about everywhere we look in recent years, and they're not the only styles of the past coming back into the limelight. Mary Janes were perfect for the emo in us all who wanted a little indie thrown into the mix. It might be a niche style, but that's precisely what's gotten people so interested in Mary Janes again. If you want some inspiration, just take a scroll back through most Tumblr and Myspace pages from the last decade, and you might find just the outfit inspo you're looking for and more.

There are plenty of different styles of Mary Janes

One of the best things about Mary Janes is the fact they are oh-so-versatile and come in a host of colors and styles. Nodaleto's Bulla Babies are the ones seen on the red carpet right now. But Free People have a similar - and cheaper - option on the market. Picking a black pair means you can wear your Mary Jane with anything to really get that full 'Wednesday' aesthetic so many are looking to recreate since the supernatural series hit our screens. Then there are platform Mary Janes for the more seasoned heel wearers. If you're not ready to don the platform, there is always a heeled Mary Jane for a retro feel with a twist. Of course, the block heel Mary Jane is the one filled with ultimate comfort and for those wanting to enjoy their trend all day and night long.

How can we all wear Mary Janes in 2023?

There might be plenty of Mary Janes to choose from, but how is someone supposed to bring them to life? If you want to go full 2010s on the trend, find your best blouse, some fishnet stockings, a long cardigan, and some frilly socks to complete the look. Oh, and don't forget your hat and carry a ukulele you will never learn to play. If you want to take things in a different direction, try teaming Mary Janes with layered tops and a leather jacket before adding some skinny jeans on the bottom for a more indie-emo-inspired take on the show. Of course, there is always your chance to go full goth aesthetic as you embrace Jenna Ortega's legendary character Wednesday as you add lace, velvet, and tailored clothes to your Mary Janes.

Mary Janes might be the most stylish shoes of all time, and we're not sure we're surprised. From a grunge look to a preppy closet addition and everything in between, there are so many ways to add the shoes to our closet. Oh, and we can't forget all about our favorite celebrities and fashion icons already rocking the look. Does it get any better? We thought not.
