Let’s hear it for the humble Mary Jane — dare we say, the most versatile shoe style out there? Are you a chunky platform girlie or do you prefer something soft, sleek, and feminine like a ballet flat? Either way, you’re covered. She can be preppy or punk when styled certain ways. From ’60s mod to ’90s grunge and cutesy coquette to office siren aesthetics, it’s no wonder the trend comes back around so often.In 2024 there’s no one way to step into this trend, so we’ve rounded up the very best Mary Jane shoes out there. From Mary Jane pumps (with a range of heel heights, straps, and buckle details) and Mary Jane ballet flats (in studded, suede, and mesh fabrications) to Mary Janes platforms (from sky-high heels to chunky lug sole shoes), there’s a style for everyone, and for every occasion. And while black Mary Janes may be the most popular style that comes to mind, don’t be afraid to hop on other trending shoe colors like red, silver, or the color of spring, butter yellow.Read on to find Mary Janes from R29 reader-favorite brands like Reformation, Zara, and Steve Madden. Then cart up a pair (or two or three!) to wear this summer and throughout the year.All linked products are independently selected by our editors.
