Mary Janes have traditionally been associated with a feminine aesthetic. However, this association is witnessing a shift with modern attitudes and the rise of gender-neutral dressing. It is now considered cool, rather than unusual, to pair Mary Janes — especially those with eye-catching embellishments and a tactile tweed finish — with relaxed, oversized tailoring that feels borrowed from the boys. When done well, the juxtaposition is strikingly stylish.

One of the most classic Mary Jane designs features cap toes. Cap-toe Mary Janes are timeless, especially in neutral hues like black and white. Their two-tone design adds visual interest to any outfit, including polished suit vest sets, making them stand out from the mundane. Our version features flower embellishments made from pearl-like beads and gems, enhancing their undeniably chic appeal.

If you prefer your Mary Janes with a bit of height, look no further than the Mino pumps. Set on chunky block heels, they will elevate your style and stature without compromising comfort. Classic with a twist, the Mino pumps feature rounded toes and straps across the vamps, accented with details like dainty bow embellishments and a ruched effect for added texture. Wear them with tailored trousers to work to bring something different to the metaphorical table.
