With the sweet embrace of spring temperatures on the horizon, we’re beginning to welcome a sense of ease back into our wardrobes. Cumbersome jackets and sweaters will soon be banished to the back of the closet, replaced by spring staples that are the definition of light and breezy: leather jackets, classic trenches, and stylish midiskirt outfits. With the need for boots and heavy socks graciously eliminated, easy spring shoes take center stage. And what is more effortless than the chic slip-on mule?
Vogue’s Must-Have Mules:
Mules are far from new for shoe-lovers. With dedicated Instagram accounts and Birkenstock’s Bostons perennially flying off shelves, the slip-on style’s fandom is well-established. This spring, with more and more designers putting their spin on the coveted shape, it’s clear that the best women’s mules aren’t going anywhere. In what is sure to be another sell-out, this season The Row introduced a sleek, slipper-like mule, while Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Loewe showed styles heavier with hardware. Khaite, Miu Miu, and Marni are giving girly embellishment a go, while Staud partnered with Birkenstock on a braided version of its bestselling classic.
