If your last time wearing Mary Jane shoes coincided with kindergarten graduation, let us get you up to speed on the season’s seen-everywhere shoe.

RELATED: Prepare to See Rosettes Everywhere

From New York all the way to Paris, you couldn’t blink without missing a Mary Jane moment. There was Coach’s heart-stamped heels, Emilia Wickstead’s metallic-meets-minimalist options, and Prada’s Western-influenced iterations coming in a kaleidoscope of zingy colour that popped with every look. Even Bally got the boys into a black patent version paired with languid suiting, making us question why we hadn’t thought of it as the most obvious choice for evening wear in the first place.

Soon, the street style elite followed suit, putting their own spin on the buzz-worthy style: pairing them with pristine white dress socks, delicately scrunched at the ankle; off-setting zany tights or trousers with a neutral pair; and leaning into its preppy reputation with long pleated skirts.

If you’re wondering whether the Mary Jane resurgence has reached the mainstream, here’s the good news: this season’s offering pretty much spans the entire style spectrum. From teetering patent platforms to velvety ballet flats and T-strapped oxfords with chunky, punk-happy soles, there’s truly a pair for everyone. Read on for 19 of our favourite pairs of Mary Jane shoes.

Veronica Beard Haina Vegan Leather Short

Made for those autumn mornings that start cool and end with unseasonably warm temps, this navy-hued pair of leather shorts let you hold onto summer for a little longer. Couple it with an oversized knit (a cream polo would be divine) and you’re set for the transition season.

Nanushka Lonne Okobor Alt-leather Skirt

Buttery soft “alt leather” defines this Nanushka mini skirt with easy, highly wearable appeal. Make it a set with the Budapest brand’s Loga top which mimics the strappy style in a tank.

Coach Leather Trench Coat

This vintage-inspired trench silhouette by Coach is an investment, to be sure, but with its heavyweight, wind-blocking leather fabrication and calf-length cut, it’s got September-to-early-December-potential written all over it.

Séfr Truth Faux Leather Jacket

You know those outerwear pieces that people stop you in the street to ask about? This Séfr pick is it. Coming in under $500, it’s crafted in a looks-and-feels-like-the-real-thing faux leather with a super-comfortable, boxy silhouette.

Khaite Clara Chain Shoulder Bag

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Straight Leg Pants

When you think of leather pants, you think smooth and sleek — that’s the conventional design equation. Here, Bottega’s signature weave lends an unexpected textural element that’s worth the hefty price tag.

Proenza Schouler White Label Ruched-detail Spaghetti-strap Minidress

Introducing the LWLD (that’s the Little White Leather Dress, FYI.) Doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily, but that disjunction isn’t reflected in its innate versatility. Wear it now as the season shifts and well into the late fall with a pair of tights.

Hilary MacMillan ‘Leather’ Ruched Crop Shirt

The magic of Toronto-based designer Hilary MacMillan? Her ability to find new ways of reinventing staple fabrications. This cropped, vegan leather top with a gathered neckline is just one prime example.

Babaton Pegu Skirt

Nine-to-five wardrobe, meet your newest member: this knee-length, vegan leather pencil skirt is equally up for prim blouses as it is for a crisp white tee and a blazer. Plus, it’s primed for cinq-a-sept opportunities, too.

The post 9 Leather Pieces to Round Out Your Fall Wardrobe appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

RELATED: 10 Swimwear Brands To Have on Your Radar

Allbirds x Olivia Rubin Riser

Got a penchant for pastels? Allbirds’ latest collab with London-based designer Olivia Rubin is worth scooping. Using the brand’s sustainably made Riser sneaker as the base, Rubin brought swathes of muted colour to this unisex silhouette, taking cues from the soft-hued homes in Notting Hill.

Buy it here: Allbirds x Olivia Rubin Riser, $190

Teva

Your all-black uniform doesn’t waver just because it’s summer — and these utility-style sneakers by Teva are just another chic reason why you won’t have to. A cushy sole, recycled mesh and Teva’s classic strapping system are an ideal pair to cool cargos.

Buy it here: Teva Outflow Universal Utility Shoes, $170

Sorel

You’re a person of practicality: people to see, city sidewalks to traverse. For all those on-the-go moments, there’s Sorel’s Kinetic Breakthru City Lace Sneaker. Wavy design details, embossed leather and a subtle hit of shocking orange bring a stylish focus to these lightweight, responsive shoes.

Buy it here: Sorel Women’s Kinetic Breakthru City Lace Sneaker, $170

New Balance

Nodding to vintage basketball silhouettes from the ’80s, the New Balance 550 is the epitome of retro cool. Thanks to its highly wearable, low-top construction, it’s become a cult classic for the brand after it was reintroduced to the brand in 2020. Picture wearing yours with pushed-down athletic socks, a denim maxi skirt and a baby tee.

Buy it here: New Balance 550 Leather Sneakers, $191

On

Maybe it’s the next-level cushioning, maybe it’s the sought after Scandi vibes, but On is no doubt the trendiest shoe right now. Sure, this Swiss-designed brand is designed to make your next 5K a breeze, but these technically sound sneakers are also the perfect foil for the unathletic side of your closet, including billowy maxi dresses and silky slip skirts.

Buy it here: On Cloud X 3 Sneaker, $230.09

Gucci

For those who can manage to keep a sneaker clean (how do you do it?), consider these splurgy Gucci shoes. With the extravagant price tag comes luxury-leaning details worth coveting: soft terry cloth lining, chunky, two-toned laces and a subtle nod to logomania care of its pretty pink jacquard pattern.

Buy it here: Gucci Beige & Pink Screener Sneakers, $1,280

Aldo

Let’s hear it for a monochromatic moment. Aldo’s all-over buff-colour option is a sleek alternative in a sea of white sneakers. And coming in under $100, these are the kind of pair you can really wear out without a second thought — think quiet luxury on a budget.

Buy it here: Aldo Wooly Low Top Sneaker, $90

Keds

There’s something deliciously nostalgic about a crisp pair of white Keds, the kind of pair you wore during the seemingly endless summers of childhood. These days, they’re the perfect blank slate for bouncing around to patios or tending to your urban garden.

Buy it here: Keds Women’s Triple Kick Sneakers, $109.99

Adidas x Wales Bonner

Buy it here: Adidas x Wales Bonner  Green SL72 Leather-Trim Knit Trainers, $345

As we live through the Great Sold Out Samba Situation, may we suggest the also-incredibly-stylish Adidas x Wales Bonner collab? The famed designer’s Caribbean culture comes together with old-school football codes to produce a standout sneaker that’ll feel fresh for seasons to come.

Nike

Got some festivals on the summer lineup? Slip into this sunshine-y pair of classic Air Max 97s and we guarantee you won’t be hobbling home after the last act. Full-length Nike Air cushioning will do that.

Buy it here: Nike Air Max 97, $260

Reebok

You don’t have to have a faultless backhand to toss on Reebok’s Club C Double Shoes. The tennis court-inspired colourway and its stacked midsole that brings some extra height are primed to be your next go-to pair.

Buy it here: Reebok Womens Club C Double Shoes, $110

Left on Friday

If you’re the type who’d rather do laps than lay out on a lounger, Canadian brand Left on Friday is your active-leaning answer. Thanks to its gently hugging fabric, extra-comfortable fit and clean-lined designs, no beach-bound sport — volleyball, surfing and dock diving included — is off the table. “Do it all in one suit” is their motto and we totally get why.

Buy it here: Left on Friday Dip Bottom, $100

Londre

High-quality, low-impact swimwear is the aim at Londre, a Vancouver-made brand that boasts a 4X to XS size range. Beyond its sustainable mandate which includes ethical production, minimal waste and recycled materials (they’ve utilized over one million plastic bottles found on beaches in their offerings), Londre’s fair pricing is yet another reason to slip into one of their comfy suits.

Buy it here: Londre The Triangle Top Heavenly Bodies, $69

Andie

Fans flock to Andie for their perfectly cut, no fuss approach to swimwear. Solid colours splashed on essential maillots and two-pieces are the brand’s bread and butter, but their regular design collabs with big-name stars (Mindy Kaling and model Iskra Lawrence are recent best-sellers) always keep us coming back for more.

Buy it here: Andie The Marco One Piece, $171

Youswim

Our bodies are always in flux season over season (and even hour to hour — like after a particularly filling lunch!) so why is it that skin-tight swimwear is stuck in the standard sizing model? Youswim is out to break that concept. The brand’s lineup of flexible suits come in just two foolproof sizes — one that fits sizes two through 12 and another which works for sizes 14 to 24 — that move with your ever-changing shape.

Buy it here: Youswim Aplomb Standard Waist Two-Piece, $182

Faithfull the Brand

Nearly 10 years into their pursuit, Faithfull the Brand’s co-directors Sarah-Jane Abrahams and Helle Them-Enger are still producing some of the most coveted resort wear in the game. Their sunny collections — inspired by clear-skied travel, of course — always strike a balance between of-the-moment and vintage-leaning. Case in point: this retro set that’s begging to be put on the main feed.

Buy it here: Faithfull the Brand Dylla Bikini Bottoms, $127

437

Skimpy, slinky and statement-making. That’s exactly how Toronto-designed brand 437 likes their bikinis. Looking for a vibrant two-piece with barely there bum coverage? They’ve got it. It’s no wonder the bikini-clad celeb set are also fans: Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion and Jennifer Lopez have all been spotted in their sets.

Buy it here: 437 The Piper Top, $95

Alémais

Even when they’re not trying to, the Aussies know how to make ace swimwear. Such is the case for Alémais, a new, contemporary label that just happens to be designing some of the most exciting resort wear right now. Their point of difference? A rotating cast of artists each season that contribute to its dreamy patterns, like this clash of micro florals.

Buy it here: Alémais Kenzie Bra Top, $212
​​

Form and Fold

If you’re on the bustier side, you generally have two options while shopping for swimwear: forgo the support and feel self-conscious over spillage, or be relegated to a, shall we say, un-chic corner of the market. It was an experience that Form and Fold designers Carly Warson and Stephanie Korn knew all too well. Their Melbourne-based brand is specifically crafted for cup sizes D to G to lift, shape and support all in totally modern-feeling suits. Score!

Buy it here: Form and Fold The One Syrup Sheen, $359

Fisch

Eco-minded babes, this one’s for you. As one of the first swimwear brands to use Econyl — a 100 per cent regenerated fibre made from discarded fishing nets and other nylon material — Fisch’s statement essentials are as sustainable as they are beautiful. And if you get an immediate vacay vibe from the line, that’s intentional: creative director Agnes Fischer’s childhood spent on St. Barth’s influences everything from the bold prints to its beach-ready shapes.

Buy it here: Fisch Regatta Painted Leo One-Piece, $427

Matteau

Matteau’s understated designs are for the Net-a-Porter-shopping, Hamptons-vacationing fashion girl—and it’s hard to not want a piece of it. The brand’s trend-transcending pieces with a classic-meets-cool aesthetic and restrained palette are exactly why it’s garnered a following from editors, celebs and Instagram types alike. Wear yours with the brand’s extensive line of perfectly made pareos and poplin plunge dresses.

RELATED: The Bold and Beautiful Bridal Trends We’re Eyeing for Fall

It’s why we’re thrilled to embrace the new breed of bridesmaid dresses: more individual, more modern and yes, entirely reusable. As brides-to-be move away from matchy-matchy options for their big day, the picks become a whole lot more palatable — and the bridesmaid trends in 2023 reflect that: classic black, tasteful cutouts, mismatched pairings, even jumpsuits that fit the betrothed bill, are all bridesmaid dresses you can wear again.

From matrimonial minis and garden party gorgeousness to silky slip dresses that’ll pair up perfectly with a leather moto jacket post-nuptials, we’ve rounded up 20 non-traditional bridesmaid dresses that are worth a forward to the future Mrs.
