The Mary Jane Is Getting A Trendy Revamp With These Bold Twists

A bold shoe can elevate your look, and the latest iterations of Mary Jane shoes definitely fit the bill. If you need something for the office that's a little bit more classic, but still trendy, chunky platform heels will elevate — literally! — your Mary Jane shoe style. 

You can go for a platform heel to really amp up the look, and Larroudé has a black patent leather chunky heeled platform Mary Jane that will bring some edge to your ensemble. Larroudé co-founder Marina Larroudé told Harper's Bazaar about how Mary Janes are the ultimate wear with anything shoe, even with their trendy iterations: "Mary Janes have that utilitarian feel, while also being flirty and fun."

The dressier version would be a pair of Isabella pumps by Coach, still just as shiny and with a stylish platform, but with an open heel. If you want the Mary Jane look but not quite as much height, a block heel style is the way to go. The Laney shoe by TJIN has the strap over the top of the foot paired with a square toe and a chunky heel. Bonus! — it comes in four different colors and the uppers are made from recycled knit material!
