The style is exceedingly popular, especially during the warmer months. The classic silhouette is perfect for both red carpet and casual occasions. Given its simple slip-on construction, the mule has acted as a canvas for many footwear designers, allowing for creative adornments and unique colorways that push the boundaries.

Prada, The Row, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Christian Louboutin and Melissa have all tried their hand at making mules, imbuing the silhouette with their own brand identity in creative ways that keep prospective buyers coming back for more.
