Flat mates: the revival of the Mary Jane
Wondering how to wear the shoe of the moment? We had a chat with Fashion Stylist Lynda Bell, who shares her styling tips across three all-season looks.
Head-to-toe impact
Let snake become your new favourite animal print - these double buckle flats are the newest Mary Janes we are all coveting in the office. ‘While ballet pumps have never really gone out of fashion, they are having their moment this year,’ says Lynda. ‘Team with our red denim separates and the look is effortlessly cool and confident.’ Head-to-toe red with a pop of snake, what’s not to love?
Our expert says
‘With a fresh take on a classic shape and endless styling possibilities, the versatility of the Mary Jane lies in the blend of comfort and style.’
A metallic moment
This style is perfect for the in-between days when you’re deciding between a summer sandal, trainer, or ankle boot. ‘The heeled metallic style elevates this printed midi dress to an office hero, while the square toe is your ticket to being in the know,’ explains Lynda. Keep the metallic look consistent by layering in a silver clutch and finishing with a stack of bracelets.

Into the blue
‘Metallic blue meets T-bar straps – these flats need to be shown off and celebrated with classic blue denim,’ says Lynda. Quilted accessories are another key style to include, as well as a final flourish with a metallic belt. Continue the cool tones with trending silver jewellery - perfect for easy weekending.
