Wedge mules are shoes that could become the main trend of this season
The wedge shoe's comeback has been a gradual one for several seasons. While styles like the classic wedge espadrille have remained a staple every summer, it's fair to say that the chunky design hasn't been in the spotlight for the past few seasons. The first signs of change came with the resurgence of Isabel Marant's Bekett sneakers, as well as the 1990s-style flip-flops that set the trend in motion just a few months ago. Now, another style is joining the fray: wedge mules.
From the very name of this shoe, it is easy to understand what we are talking about. This is a mule – a shoe closed in front and open in the back, which has remained relevant for many years – but on a wedge. Most often, mules are presented in variations with a massive and stable heel, the height of which does not exceed 7 centimeters, because this model is created primarily for comfort.
Street style stars, who often shape modern stylistic decisions, are already testing out a new trendy pair of shoes. And the reaction is definitely positive. Insiders from fashion capitals, including Paris and Milan, unanimously choose wedge mules and most often combine them with skirts, creating light looks in the style of “granny chic”. At the same time, these shoes are easy to imagine in combination with jeans, suits or spring dresses.
This model has a comfortable wedge height. It is without straps on the rise and unnecessary decorative or supporting elements that can cause discomfort. That is why these mules are well suited for everyday wear. It is an easy way to take a step away from ballet flats or Mary Jane shoes, which usually dominate every spring. As the saying goes, variety is the key, and this simple and comfortable model has every chance of taking pride of place in your wardrobe.
