Mary Janes

Women's Mary Janes: the shoe with a retro soul from Pretty Ballerinas

Pretty Ballerinas was born 25 years ago in Menorca at the hands of the Mascaró family, inheriting their passion for fine craftsmanship and translating it into a signature style that is romantic and feminine. Mary Janes are one of the iconic styles that best represent this essence: a vintage-inspired design with its signature strap, reinvented season after season without ever losing its timeless charm.

Make a statement with leather, suede, and patent leather Mary Janes

At Pretty Ballerinas, we craft our Mary Janes in leather, suede, and patent leather—three materials that bring unique character to every design. Leather styles stand out for their polished, elegant finish, making them ideal for office wear or special events. Suede designs offer a warm, natural texture that is perfect for daily wear. Patent leather adds a glossy, sophisticated touch for those seeking something extra special, always with the same artisanal quality in every detail.

How to style your Mary Janes for any look

Mary Janes in neutral shades like black, beige, and brown pair perfectly with midi dresses, pleated skirts, or jeans for an everyday retro-inspired look. For more formal occasions, patent leather options or metallic-accented styles elevate any outfit without sacrificing comfort. And if you are looking for a more romantic feel, pair them with matching socks or tights for a full nod to the brand's iconic vintage aesthetic.

Can you wear Mary Janes all year round?

Yes, Mary Janes are a versatile wardrobe staple that adapts to every season. In spring and summer, light-toned leather or suede versions pair beautifully with breezy dresses and casual looks. In autumn and winter, dark leather or patent leather styles add an elegant touch to outfits featuring coats, tweed skirts, or tailored trousers.
