When it comes to heels, the struggle is real: More often than not, comfort and style don’t exactly see eye to eye. This summer, though, one of our favorite stylish footwear trends also happens to be one of the most wearable: We’re talking about low-heel open-toe mules, aka the perfect blend of all our favorite shoe styles.
Whether we opt for stiletto kitten heels or a more chunky style, this summer footwear staple is one we’ve definitely begun to collect. Some of our favorites include Loeffler Randall’s ruffle slides, Saint Laurent’s year-round velvet option, and the sculptural knots of Nº21. We’ve invested in bright red, classic tan, gingham, floral, and even a few embellished pairs.
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to jump on one of the biggest footwear trends of the season—one you can continue mixing into your wardrobe for months to come. Shop our favorite 20 below.
