With a fashion-forward strap across the front, today’s Mary Jane Shoes have come a long way. Originally the little girl’s shoe in patent leather, Mary Jane has all grown up.

With a history that includes being worn by men during the Renaissance, this style has been adapted and reborn as sassy and fun.

Elegant new styles are giving classic Mary Janes a comeback. If Madonna can wear these shoes, so can you.

How you can justify buying them:

Adding your inner Lolita to your shoe wardrobe is wholesome fun. Since the only practical reason is love at first sight, you don’t need a justification to buy these charmers.

What’s good:

Feeling like a kid again and getting your “good girl” image on may give you confidence. Who can resist a girl in Mary Janes? They may have platforms to the sky, but you will feel like a kid again. With a huge variety of colors, patterns and heights, suedes and leathers, these shoes rock.

What’s bad:

Trendy, Mary Janes are not for the sophisticate who is afraid of a smile or looking like a comic book character.

How to style them:

Be careful not to wear them with anything to “little girlish” or you may look like a child beauty pageant contestant.
