Chic mules
ElEGANT at any age, the mule is having a moment. Quintessentially chic, covering the upper part of the foot (yes, just like the backs of the hands, these age, too) and exposing the heel, they are this spring’s dress-up shoe.
The general rule is, the more elegant the occasion, the more slender the heel — see JCrew’s silver star Sophia mules (below).
What’s great about the latest batch is the variety of work-appropriate mules that suggest you’ve made an effort without doing so. See Carvela’s low kitten heels in sugary pink and l.K.Bennett’s velvet block-heel option.
