If you're a fan of Mary Janes - welcome to the club. What started out as a primary school uniform essential (complete with a pleated skirt and frumpy jumper) has recently re-emerged as a staple among fashion-conscious celebs and influencers. And, the new era of Mary Janes looks slightly different to what you might be used to.
Shiny leather, metallic studs and chunky platforms are the defining characteristics of the 'new' Mary Jane, if you will. Worn by Olivia Rodrigo, who sported a square-toe version from Labucq, and Gigi Hadid who opted for a more traditional pair from Aeyde, it's safe to say that Mary Janes are making their way back. Prada's take on the trend is one we're particularly drawn to, re-imagining the retro style in brushed leather, and the classic lettering logo accenting the metal buckle. But, if you're not prepared to spend upwards of £800 on a pair of shoes, one high-street brand is here to help.
Charles + Keith, the brand known for carrying Sienna Miller's favourite high-street shoes has released the Trice Metallic Accent Mary Janes, £79 which are a spitting image of Prada's £800 version. With a shiny boxed finish, corresponding metallic accents and a chunky sole, these are a great option for those looking to emulate the designer look for less.
