If you're tired of hearing the word "elegant," I apologize in advance, but there's no better word to describe the shoes I'm about to highlight. Each season, there are some shoe trends that feel fresh and new, and there are others that we've all seen before but are suddenly cool again. This one falls into the latter category.
The trend is mules, specifically pointed-toe high-heel mules. You probably already have a couple of pairs in your shoe collection that have been there for years. I do, as they never really go out of style. With the rise in popularity of all things cool and elegant, I've been seeing mules more and more. If you're ready for a fresh pair, I rounded up a slew of excellent options as well as outfit inspiration courtesy of some of the chicest women on Instagram.
Keep scrolling to find your next pair of mules and cool outfits to wear with them.
Style tip: Pair your mules with sheer tights, as our editor in chief, Kat Collings, did for NYFW.
Style tip: For extra elegance, wear a midi-length skirt.
Style tip: If you want to own the most iconic mules on the market, order a pair of Manolo Blahnik Maysale Mules.
Style tip: Pair your mules with leather pieces if you want to make your look even cooler.
Style tip: For the most forward spring look, wear mules with capri pants. Trust me.
Style tip: Channel chic European style by wearing a trench and mules.
