Mary Janes were the surprising standout shoe of 2022 and despite the many trends that came along the way, these humble flats continue to woo the hearts of fashion folk everywhere. Alexa Chung, Zoe Kravitz, Leandra Cohen, Kendall Jenner… it was the cool girl staple, especially during the warmer months.
Although there are various iterations of this single-strapped shoe (think rivets, lugged soles, buckles!), what seems to be the most magnetic aesthetic is ‘dainty and classic.’ Go-to styles are those in neutral colors but vibrant hues are also welcome and add a touch of whimsy to everyday looks.
