Fashion trends from the ’90s are making a strong comeback—crop tops, corduroy, and chokers have all returned, so it’s no surprise that a classic shoe from that era is back in style. Thanks to brands like Mansur Gavriel and Gucci, slides have become the must-have footwear for summer 2016. While their overall look may feel nostalgic (your mom might even think you borrowed them from her old wardrobe), the modern craftsmanship and minimalist design set them apart. Whether you prefer them flat and simple or with a bold heel, having at least one pair in your collection is a must. But with so many stylish options, you might find yourself wanting a different pair for every day of the week.
Step into something bold with a green snakeskin mule from Jimmy Choo. This slightly used pair is priced at just $75, making it a steal if you wear a size 7.5. Perfect for summer concerts, these shoes add a touch of wild elegance to any outfit.
For a fresh and versatile option, try a crisp white mule. Swap out your usual sandals for these on dressier occasions like brunches or garden parties. They’re also a great choice for patriotic holidays when you want to keep things stylish yet effortless.
If you’re looking for a pop of color, consider a minty-fresh, stacked-heel mule. Think of it as an accessory that can elevate even the simplest summer outfits with a soft pastel touch.
A sleek black leather slide is the ultimate wardrobe staple. This flat, minimalist mule is as versatile as a little black dress, making it easy to dress up or down all season long.
For a fun twist on the classic espadrille, go for a platform mule with a sporty vibe. This cork-soled pair is perfect for lounging by the pool or strolling along the beach.
Channel a ’70s-inspired look with a suede block-heel mule. The crisscross design blends vintage bohemian charm with modern style, making it a perfect match for denim. The rich cognac color even complements the stitching on classic jeans, making it an effortlessly stylish choice.
If comfort is a priority, TOMS has you covered with a perforated mule sandal. The breathable design adds a sporty touch to the tan suede, creating a unique texture. Pair it with floral prints for a playful contrast that balances casual and chic.
