Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have taught us many fashion lessons, but a lot of them deal with styling complicated kimono dresses and balancing oversize separates. We've never really acknowledged the fact that when it comes to footwear, Mary-Kate and Ashley keep it simple. Maybe that's the key to mastering a wardrobe that earns you head turns but still looks unbelievably comfortable: practical shoes.
Ahead, we analyzed the Olsen sisters' everyday outfits — from travel gear to business attire — and honed in on the 14 pairs the sensible women keep on rotation all year long. These shoes are functional, versatile, neutral, and most importantly timeless, so you've really no reason not to shop them all.
1 Two-Toned Flats
Ashley styled her neutral footwear with a brown suede kimono, black bag, and gold jewelry.
2 Bow Slides
They're the perfect poolside-to-date-night accoutrement during the Summer, and Ashley proves you can mix and match a black pair with navy.
3 Textured Loafers
If you love to wear all black, a pair of loafers with a crocodile effect or faux fur details will make your outfit all the more interesting, as displayed by Mary-Kate.
4 Tassel Loafers
For a different, more office-ready look, shop for a pair of pointed slippers with tassels. Play them up with your sophisticated tote, like Ashley.
5 Power Pumps
Mary-Kate knows that every working woman needs a pair in black for business meetings and the like.
6 Platform Slip-Ons
These will elevate a casual street style ensemble like Ashley's acid-wash denim.
7 Bright Espadrilles
Perfect for playing up breezy separates in the Summer, you can rock these day to night, pairing with your linen maxi dress at dinnertime.
8 Nude Slippers
Ashley's suede slippers feature a mini heel and come in a luxe suede material. Chances are, they go with every outfit in her wardrobe.
9 Travel Flats
For Mary-Kate, that means a pair of crisscross leather sandals that you can style with your bikini and cover-up at the beach. Meanwhile, Ashley's loafers are grounded with a wooden sole, providing a two-toned effect.
10 Travel Mules
A pair of patent glove pumps like these offer just a smidgen of height, and when paired with a long coatigan and loose trousers like Mary-Kate's, they keep things comfortable for a flight.
11 Mary-Janes
Whether you choose a pair with a heel or a flat style like Ashley's, the girlie addition of a buckle adds dimension to your street style look.
12 Party Heels
Mary-Kate's style might be simple — a pair of open-toed ankle-strap heels — but Ashley's burgundy pumps work just as seamlessly with a party dress.
13 Strappy Stilettos
Sometimes, you just want to oomph up your evening wear, and for that you need a pair of eye-catching lace-up heels like Ashley Olsen's.
14 Elastic Sandals
Ashley Olsen's The Row sandals are reminiscent of classic Tevas, and Mary-Kate has a pair too. This silhouette is perfect for capping off a casual look in the Spring and Summer months.
