Can ‘BACK TO SCHOOL’ shoes ever be stylish?

Your mum would approve!

You might have bought them from Start-Rite the first time around but clumpy brogues, stack heels and Mary-Jane style school shoes are back in Vogue.

Except this time around you don’t have to have a row with your mum on whether you are going to actually wear them!

Here’s how the fashion team will be styling theirs this Autumn.

Tracey Lea Sayer, 52, Fashion Director

School is a very distant memory for me now, but as a child of the 70s, I have always loved a stack heeled ugly shoe!

I have gone a bit Harry Styles and teamed these two-toned Gucci inspired M&S snaffle front heels with a cool masculine suit and a flouncy frilly blouse.

I love the juxtaposition of tough masculine tailoring sitting with a feminine blouse and retro shoes.

This look is great for work but I would also wear out to a fancy lunch with friends.

These chunky loafers are a great alternative for anyone who doesn’t want to wear heels on a daily basis, just like me.

This black pair with gold buckle detail from H&M are surprisingly versatile and are under £40.

I’ve let the shoes do the talking by pairing them with a casual outfit, whether I’m doing some leisurely shopping during the weekend, going to a midday brunch or even attending some meeting in the office.

So I have added a touch of glam to make the block-heeled Mary-Jane  work for me.

These metallic style shoes still bring the party vibes and don’t make me feel like I am back in year 6.

I like to keep things quite minimal and classic so have gone for a prim and proper patent Mary-Jane for my look.

I love these And Other Stories ones which are comfy as well as cute!

Just add scraped back hair a flick of black eyeliner and a black hand bag, I feel totally put together and ready for anything the day can throw at me.
