Why are these shoes called Mary Janes?
The name Mary Jane came from the character of the Buster Brown comic strips who wore these shoes. This was released in the early 1900s and has been a popular piece ever since.

Here, we can see that she matched her Mary Jane Platforms with low cut socks, a brown leopard print cami, a brown cardigan, a gold necklace, and a black purse. Her overall color scheme of brown works really well in this photo. We can see that she went for a warm brown look as she wore her gold necklace. Since her shoes are black, she matched it with her black purse to keep the eyes moving around her entire look rather than just one piece. Her outfit also looks amazing with the aesthetic beach background.
