Well-loved for their enduring charm, Mary Janes have been the go-to style for achieving a preppy look. Ballet flats effortlessly embody a feminine aesthetic, while loafers are the top pick for sophisticated, androgynous ensembles. Their uncomplicated, stylish and versatile designs allow them to be continually experimented with — bold hues and eye-catching textures introduce a modern element to these classics that renew them for this season and beyond.
Strap Up
Made distinctive by buckled straps across the vamps, Mary Janes have a polished appearance. To retain the classic feature yet renew its silhouette, play around with the number of straps for a contemporary look — these double-strap slingback Mary Jane pumps will add subtle visual interest to your outfit.
Colour Blocking
Disrupt the traditionally sleek profiles of loafers by incorporating a two-toned colourway — juxtaposing neutral shades creates a striking yet wearable design that can be paired with muted and statement palettes alike.
Subtle Tactility
Being a staple texture that already exists in every wardrobe, denim’s appeal lies in its effortless adaptability. It infuses a laidback feel into more elevated styles — as seen on the Charly T-bar buckled sandals — making it ideal for everyday wear while still looking put-together.
A Red Moment
The on-trend vibrant hue is not going anywhere anytime soon, because it always adds just the right amount of boldness while still being very wearable. Exuding a powerful, attention-grabbing aura, let these standout shoes put the finishing touch on neutral ensembles. You can even create a coquette aesthetic by going for bow details, like the ones on the bow ballet flats.
Animal-Print Accents
If you’re looking to make a statement, animal-prints lend classic styles a distinctive edge. The snake-print is especially popular for their captivating take on neutral tones, while looking elegant when paired with tasteful metallic accents. These snake-print metallic-accent loafers will be the stars of a monochromatic outfit.
