orget everything you’ve heard about the mule. This year, along with the slip dress, silk pajama sets, lace camisoles, and every other seductive bedroom staple, mules have quickly walked out of the bedroom and into the streets. Mules started as fantasy Boudoir attire designed to be easily slipped off. You might remember Carrie Bradshaw breaking all the rules as she spent an afternoon galavanting around New York City in a flouncy skirt and a pair of flirtation bubblegum pink mules. These days, you no longer have to break the rules, because designers have done it for us. With Mansur Gavriel’s recent launch of their all mule collection, they were the last to join the club, as designers everywhere decided mules are far to fancy to be contained to the bedroom.
So why this sudden love for the backless slide? It’s easy, practical, and effortlessly chic! This year, designers are giving the classic mule a makeover with their addition of architectural shapes, sexy stiletto’s, hip embellishments, and bold fabrics. Let the mule elevate your look both literally & figuratively this spring with unparalleled convenience that will take you from the office to pool, and then out for a fun night of dancing.
