And no, i'm not talking about the stubborn animal. I'm talking about shoes. Backless, slide on shoes that are not quite slippers but not quite flats and are totally acceptable to wear in every scenario. Abandoning height for comfort is an increasing trend in the footwear department lately, and for good reason. It makes commuting around easier. If you were to say, get robbed on the street, you could slide these babies off and chase after the crook. (I've been watching too much Daredevil) If you happen to be at the airport, you could easily take these off at that awkward part of boarding without falling over as you try to yank off your zipless leather boots.
Besides all those varying points, mules are just super cute.
Seen on crucial runways like Alexander Wang and Balenciaga the mule resurfaced with a sense of lightness and simplicity, even when embroidered or covered in fur. Maybe it's the surge of pajama dressing causing us all to embrace the ease of a supposed inside shoe or maybe it's pure laziness. Either way the flattering line of a mule, paired with its majestic origins, is likely to stay in rotation beyond Spring and Summer.
You have your share of pickings, too.
For example, the patterned mule. An easy statement. A chic exclamation, "Hello! Check me out!" It demands attention without asking.
