Mary Jane Shoes Fashion-The Best Ros Footwear

Mary Jane shoe fashion has taken over as the trendy footwear of the moment. It’s not the same Mary Janes of your youth. They’ve received a modern makeover with many variations and are made to be comfortable if you check out the right brands.

Quote of the day: “Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.” Dalai Lama

And one of these “right brands” is Ros (formerly Walking Cradles) who believes that comfort is the first priority and yet still delivers on stylish options. Not only do they have comfort details that I’ll showcase below, but they have an extended size selection ranging from size 6-13 and different widths from Narrow to Wide Wide.

Insider discount: You can get 10% off your order with the code JODIE10. I do not receive any commission from this company yet, but I am a huge supporter because I love their comfort and designs.

One of the best details in many of the popular shoes at the moment is the knit footwear. Ros Hommerson took all of the concerns that the common knit shoes have and made them work for our finicky feet. Their selection of knit shoes includes:
Naomi: a Mary Jane variety (more information below).
Niki: a classic ballet flat.
Noelle: the ballet flat with a bow.
Neve: classic boat-shoe moccasin with a decorative tie in some fun colors.

Since I wanted to challenge myself to style Mary Jane shoes fashion for different occasions, you will get the best of both worlds. Not only am I showcasing them with everything from dresses to pants but I’m also reviewing this pair of Naomi Mary Janes.


Why the Ros “Naomi” Knit Mary Jane Stands Out

The Naomi Knit Mary Jane from Ros Hommerson is not your average Mary Jane. Made with a breathable knit upper, this shoe is lightweight yet structured enough to provide all-day comfort. Plus, its adjustable strap ensures a perfect fit, making it a fantastic choice for both casual and dressier occasions.

Insider detail: If you’ve been around my site for the last 6 months, you might remember I’ve been wearing other brands of Mary Janes. They, however, are not nearly as comfy as this pair.

This Ros brand Mary Jane footwear is available in a variety of colors:
-Cream/Taupe Knit-this is what I’m showcasing
-Navy/Cream Knit
-Leopard Knit Fabric
-Black/Taupe Knit

Insider detail: You may be surprised that I chose the cream-colored shoes, yet because so many of my clothing items are colorful, I thought this color would be a great selection to style.
But might I suggest if you tend to wear more neutral-colored clothing, that the leopard print would be a “purrfect” option.

All of the Naomi Mary Janes have the tortoise print for the heel. While it’s not my favorite part of the shoe, it’s something that very few people will notice especially when you are wearing them.

Details: Here are the reasons that these Mary Janes feel like sneakers.

-The arch support creates enough support so you can wear these walking around all day.
-There is a cushion surrounding your heel so it holds your foot in place without rubbing.
-Ros is known for their Tiny Pillows in all of their insoles. The tiny pillows create a cushion for your feet.
-Flexible sole means they aren’t stiff and there is no “breaking in” time.

Now, let’s talk about the multiple ways of styling these Mary Jane shoes fashion.

Insider tip: For all of the full outfit photos, I did wear my ultra low cut Sheec socks with the Naomi shoes.


1. Pairing Mary Jane Shoes with a Long Skirt

A maxi skirt always seems so summery and is the perfect way to transition your closet for the warmer temperatures.

How I styled it:

  • Printed red maxi skirt (thrifted).
  • Paired with a hand-knitted cardigan that I cropped with a cardigan pin (see the details in this video).
  • The cream Mary Jane shoes fashion allows the colorful outfit to be the focal point.

2. Wearing Mary Jane Shoes Fashion with a Dress

Mary Jane shoes and dresses are a match made in heaven. Instead of always reaching for your sneakers or thinking you need to wear heels with your dresses, these Mary Janes are a fabulous in-between.

How I styled it:

  • I started with this blue chevron print dress.
  • Since it’s sleeveless, I layered a Halftee (code Jtouch20 for a discount) under it as well as my crochet dress for added interest.
  • The cream belt and Mary Janes bring it all to fruition.

3. Styling Mary Jane Shoes with Pants

If you think Mary Janes are just for skirts and dresses, think again! These shoes look just as stylish when worn with pants both cropped or full-length.

Insider tip: While not shown in this article, I will be styling this Mary Jane shoe fashion idea with jeans also.

How I Styled Outfit 1:

  • I wore cropped cream trousers (seen previously with other footwear choices).
  • To bring color to the outfit, I grabbed this neon green cami and chartreuse vest. This vest was worn with leggings in the past.
  • The cream Mary Janes blend nicely with the white pants.

How I styled Outfit 2:

  • These print joggers seemed to go with this pumpkin sweater so perfectly.
  • I added a furry dickey under the sweater for extra texture.
  • The cream Mary Janes let the prints be the stars of the show.

4. Playing with Socks: How Different Options Change the Look

One of the most fun ways to style Mary Jane shoes is by experimenting with different sock styles. Each choice brings out a unique personality in the outfit!
Because they are open on the top of the foot, you can add different colors or textures to your outfit with your sock choice.

Insider tip: This means you could easily wear your Mary Janes with tights if the weather is still chilly.

Sheer Socks:

  • Perfect for adding a delicate, vintage touch.
  • Adds a playful, fashion-forward element.
  • Keeps the look light and airy.

Insider tip: While I only showcased sheer socks here, all sorts of crew socks are making a comeback on the street-style scene, so have fun playing around with this detail.

No-Show Socks:

  • Ideal for a minimalist, sleek style.
  • Best for when you want the shoes to be the focal point.

No Socks:

  • Because Ros footwear has a suede feeling microfiber lining, socks aren’t necessary. I’d consider them a personal choice.

As much as I love my site, Jodie’s Touch of Style, I really enjoy putting together my daily emails. I consider my emails an extension of my blog that is chocked full of positive inspiration that one friend calls a “Variety Show.”
I include articles, videos, and posts that strike my fancy and since I have no siblings to share with, I share with you.


Final Thoughts: Why THESE Mary Janes Belong in Your Wardrobe

The Naomi Knit Mary Jane from Ros Hommerson proves that style and comfort can go hand in hand (or foot in foot as the case may be). Don’t forget I am allowed to offer you a discount with the code, JODIE10.

Insider tip: These are great Travel shoes because they are lightweight and pack easily (you can bend them in half).

Whether you’re styling them with a long skirt, a dress, any kind of pants, or playing around with socks, these shoes provide endless versatility.

While I consider myself a shoe lover and believe that Ros is the gold standard of comfy shoes, I would have to say that this pair of Naomi Mary Janes is one of the most comfortable pairs of footwear I’ve ever worn. When I was wearing them, I kept thinking I had my sneakers on because they were that comfy and supportive.
