The Essential Fall Shoe: Slip-On Mules

Sponsored by Zappos

In my opinion, fall is the easiest season for dressing. You can start any outfit with jeans and a tee, then add variety by layering different sweaters, scarves, shoes etc – but a simple tee and jeans will take you a long way this season. Since I’m always traveling, I’ve learned to appreciate the importance of comfortable shoes – aka flats. Whether you’re hustling through an airport or exploring a new city, a great pair of flats will make the journey much more enjoyable!

Since ballet flats were never really my cup of tea, slip-on mules have become my wardrobe essential. Aside from how great they feel, I love how a pair of mules can make any outfit effortlessly chic. There’s something so sophisticated about a classic mule, and they can make even the simplest outfits look sophisticated!

The mules I’ve been wearing nonstop lately are these new Cole Haan suede mules. The vibrant red adds an unexpected pop to any outfit – and since red is such a versatile color, I can (surprisingly) wear them all the time! I also love how the pointed toe shape elongates your legs, unlike the classic ballet flat. If you’re looking for more of a neutral, they also come in black, blue, and leopard – because we all know leopard is the BEST neutral!

So whether you’re looking for a comfy pair of flats or simply a no-effort shoe to make your outfit effortlessly chic, go for a pair of slide-on mules! Trust me, they are essential to your wardrobe!
