YOU might have bought them from Start-Rite the first time around, but clumpy brogues, stack heels and Mary-Jane school shoes are back in vogue.
Except this time around you don't have to have a row with your mum about whether you are going to actually wear them!
Here’s how the fashionteam 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 with a feminine blouse and retro shoes.

Clumpy 'ugly' style school shoes are not me at all!
So I have added a touch of glam to make these block-heeled Mary-Janes work for me.
These metallic shoes still bring the party vibes and don’t make me feel like I am back in Year 6.
I have added a bright-red three-piece suit and a matching silver bag for extra out-there style points.
Clemmie Fieldsend, 32 Fashion Editor
I like to keep things quite minimal and classic so have gone for a prim and proper patent Mary-Jane for my outfit.
I love these & Other Stories ones, which are comfy as well as cute!
A pussy-bow blouse always ties a look together.
