The Reason Behind the Success of Sheer Layers & Mary Janes
The airy layers make your outfit seem soft and airy, thanks to playing with light and wind, alluding to good old femininity in the looks of the past and rising to modern sexuality. Mary Janes, in the meanwhile, kept the style down to earth with classic shine. They are a good combination of romance and organization, and that is why designers would refer to them time and again.
Willing to wear them on the catwalk? All right, let us analyze it.
