As much as we love wearing a killer pair of boots for winter and stylish sandals for summer, there's truly nothing like seasonless footwear. What we mean by that is the kind you can sport most of the year and that transitions seamlessly from season to season with a few key wardrobe changes. And if there's any shoe that perfectly meets that criteria, it's the mule.
Whether you're heading to the office, going to a summer soiree, or taking a leisurely stroll around the park during peak fall foliage, the backless shoes are great for all sorts of occasions. You can pair them with a pretty floral dress during springtime, a cozy sweater and jeans during the colder months, or a classic blazer with tailored trousers for a date night—the outfit options are practically endless! Beyond their versatility and practicality, mules are also famously comfortable and a breeze to walk in thanks to their slip-on design.
Perhaps the best part of all? These days, there is an endless array of different styles—ranging from traditional flats to kitten heels to open-toed options—perfect for whatever you have coming up on your agenda.
