In 2023 there’s no one way to step into this strappy trend, so we’ve rounded up the very best Mary Janes out there. Unsurprisingly for a trend so deeply rooted in Parisian style and closely related to the ballet flat, French brands Rouje, Repetto, Carel, and Jonak are our go-tos for classic patent iterations in graphic shades of black, white, and red. But the US is giving the French a run for their money with some of the most exciting and unique Mary Janes we’ve found. Look to Charles & Keith for Bratz-style mega-platforms, Anthropologie for cherry red Mary Jane pumps, and Reformation for metallics and diamanté buckles.
