Subtle punk style is a hit.

“Mary Janes” are a formally trademarked shoe type, complete with low heels, single-buckle straps, and a t-strap front. Originally fashioned from patent leather, these shoes have rocketed in popularity from their original use by young children. Today, many women and girls slip on a pair of mary janes, which look quite different from their original design in many cases.

Are you looking for a perfect pair of mary janes to match your punky wardrobe, or at least work with a few punk outfits you've got stowed away? It can be challenging to find mary janes that match your ensemble—or your attitude—but the good news is that there are plenty of different looks from which to choose.

What used to be just patent leather is now available in both man made and natural materials, including unusual things like hemp, leather, cotton, and vinyl. From bumped-up toes to platform heels, you can add height, change the look of your outfit, or just dress things up instead of wearing plain black flats.

Some mary jane styles include:

• Chunky platforms with contrast lacing and stitching
• Sandal-style mary janes
• Vinyl options with a pull-on upper
• Open-toed mary jane styles
• Embroidered leather options with low kitten heels
• Spectator or oxford looks in black and white colorways
• Bold, bright versions that make a statement
• Breathable fabric mary janes with man made heels

• Go retro by channeling an early Courtney Love with frilly, '20s-style dresses complete with lace and chiffon. Keep accessories edgy so people can “read” your outfit and not misinterpret it as more of a Lolita thing.
• Wear your mary janes with wide leg jeans if you want to keep things simple and cool. If you choose longer-legged pants, look for mary janes with an interest toe (either embroidery, embossing, stitching, or coloring) to match your entire ensemble.
• Look for subtle, cool tights that complement the tone of your mary janes to lengthen your legs and make your outfit look more sophisticated.
• Try punk mary jane shoes with something unexpected, like business casual gear in black or tan. Look for modern lines and classic styles in both suits and separates.
• Hunt down punk mary jane shoes in basic black, and wear them with anything from long-line skirts to skinny pants.
• Try your mary janes with any kind of jeans. Pair beat-up mary janes in brown leather with ripped jeans, impeccably smooth shoes with glossy outfits, or mix-and-match for something edgier.
• Look for contrast with ruffled skirts and dresses to go with your mary janes.
• Play dress-up if you feel daring! Your mary janes will work perfectly at costume parties and fancy dress events without second thought.
• Make your punk mary jane shows sexy with stockings. Take your pick from fishnets, spiderwebs, geometric designs, and stripes, for example, from a variety of different novelty purveyors.
