Frequently Asked Questions
What are mules?
A mule is a slip-on shoe with a closed or covered front and an open back — there's
no strap or fastening around the heel, so you simply step in and go. The style has
been around for centuries and now spans every height and material: flat mules for
easy everyday wear, wedge mules for height with stability, and dressier leather and
espadrille versions for warmer weather. What unites them all is that open-back
design, which makes mules one of the most convenient and breathable shoes you
can own.
How do you wear mules?
Mules are among the most versatile shoes to style, precisely because the open back
keeps them looking relaxed even when the rest of the shoe is polished. Flat mules
pair easily with jeans, linen trousers and summer dresses for an everyday look,
while wedge mules add height that works with cropped trousers, midi skirts and
dresses. A leather mule dresses up neatly for the office or evening, and an
espadrille mule leans into warm-weather, Mediterranean ease. Because there's no
ankle strap, mules visually lengthen the leg — especially flattering with cropped
and ankle-length hems.
What do you wear with mules?
Mules suit just about everything, dressed up or down. For a casual look, pair flat
or espadrille mules with cropped jeans, a linen shirt or a sundress. For something
more polished, a leather or wedge mule works beautifully with tailored trousers, a
midi skirt or a wrap dress. As a general guide, cropped and ankle-length hems
show the mule off best and keep the proportions clean, while natural materials like
rope and suede read more casual and smooth leather leans dressier — so there's a
mule for everything from a beach lunch to the office.
Are mules in style in 2026?
Yes — mules are a firm favorite in 2026. The broader move toward comfort-led,
easy-to-wear styles plays directly to the mule's strengths, with wedge and
espadrille versions especially popular for warm-weather dressing and sleek leather
mules carrying through the rest of the year. Their real appeal is practicality: a mule
slips on in seconds, suits a huge range of outfits, and offers an open, breathable
alternative to a closed shoe — which is exactly why it stays in rotation season
after season.
