Let’s Talk About Mules…

Mules aren’t exactly new to the fashion game, however they are big this season like never before and this is all thanks to the statement style from Bottega (yet again!). I remember a couple of years ago when the Gucci Princetowns were released and the high street went crazy for dupes in that shape and style, but even then I don’t remember mules being so on trend as they are at the moment.

The classic mule shape is a backless slipper with a pointed or round closed front, however this seasons style of choice seems to be the open toe. I feel like technically that makes them more a sandal than a mule, however we’ll roll with it for now!

Mules can be flat or heeled and I love them for their versatility. I feel if you get the right pair you can put them together with a mix of different outfits as they are a fairly understated and classic shape and style. At the moment, I can’t stop lusting over the clear vinyl variety as they don’t over power any look but still add a subtle edge and something quite unique.

I’ve got my eye on SO many so here are 12 current high street picks to get you started, although there’s a chance you have something similar in your shoe cupboard already so dig them out and get styling…
