Are we in our Mary Janes era?

Uniforms have always been a major inspiration for fashion. And for now, Mary Janes, a staple of school girl dressing, is having its moment. Also known as slay bar shoes, the prim style is traditionally flat, has a rounded toe and a singular strap across the foot. This season, the shoes take an experimental route as brands from Coach to Prada reimagine the style as statement-making hyrids that truly slay. Scroll on for a peek.
