It’s official: the heeled mule is (finally) back! This style was a wardrobe staple in the ’90s and has thankfully made a triumphant return. Minimal or embellished, these shoes have quickly become a wardrobe staple of fashionistas everywhere and we promise they’ll become yours, too. Here are 8 pairs of heeled mules that will inspire you to ditch your wedges and pumps ASAP.
Embellished
If you want a departure from the classic, minimal look, an embellished mule is definitely the style for you. We can’t get enough of these tassel mules from Zara ($89.90) as they’ll instantly add a touch of fun to your look.
The Chunky Heel
A chunky block heel adds just-right height to a cleanly styled slide. We’re currently swooning for these head-turning red mules ($127.93) and have them at the top of our mule shopping list.
Bold Pattern
If you’re looking for a more playful take on this heeled trend, we recommend trying a mule that features a fun, bold pattern. These black and white block heel mules from Stella McCartney ($740) feature a funky zigzag pattern that will take your look from zero to 100 real quick.
Minimal
If a minimalistic approach is more your style, we suggest opting for an all-black mule with a chunky heel and open toe. These minimal mules ($85) are easy, modern and simply chic, and will go with just about everything!
Closed Toe
In addition to being so chic it’s almost ridiculous, these millennial pink closed-toe ($643) mules are a fun adaptation of the style.
Metallic
You can fully embrace this ’90s trend by going the metallic route. These silver mules ($120) are absolute perfection, and the chunky heel and open toe are a practical design element.
Floral
There’s no denying that spring and florals are synonymous. A pair of floral mules ($141.53) are absolutely perfect for spring ” just pair them with your favourite pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, and you’re good to go!
Jewelled
Elegant jewels don’t have to be reserved for strictly the evening. Style down these pearl embellished mules ($95) with a pair of cropped jeans and a T-shirt for a laid-back look.
