Mule mules remain on the list of fashion trends for the warm season. But the appearance of these shoes in women's collections spring-summer 2018 not at all an invention and merit of modern designers. Mules are one of the most ancient types of footwear. Even in Ancient Egypt, there were shoes with a closed toe and without a heel, which differed little in shape from the models of 2018. The main difference was the heel.

Therefore, mules are another confirmation that it is difficult to come up with something completely new in fashion. Most of the fashion trends of our time interpret things from the distant past in a new way. Let's hope that new technologies and materials will change the situation and give us truly new clothes and accessories. Now let's see women's mules for spring and summer 2018.




Fashion bloggers showcase a wide variety of mules, including open-toed, low-heeled, and generally flat. Modern fashion creates many types of hybrid shoes, but these variations have their own names and history. For example, flat or low-heeled closed-toe mules are more appropriately called grandmothers... Real mules must have medium heels or higher.

With regard to the openness of the toe, various modifications are permissible - from a completely closed toe to various weaves, ribbons, perforations and a wide variety of options. The main thing is that the shoes have a heel, and not a flat sole or wedge heel.

Only today we place less and less importance on rules, boundaries and traditions. Therefore, when you buy women's shoes in the store, you may be offered mules of strange shapes and proportions. Now in accessories, as well as in clothes, there is a trend - everything is fashionable. Eccentricity coexists with minimalism, and practicality with luxurious decorativeness. In such a variety, it is not easy to make the right choice, especially when there are a lot of questionable images around on Instagram.

Materials (edit)

For an urban environment, models made of leather, suede or leatherette are best suited if you adhere to the principles of vegetarianism to the fullest. For out-of-town outings, real mules are not the most comfortable shoes, but if you spend time at a comfortable dacha or camp site, you can choose models with weaves from a variety of materials. Fur trims add a touch of detail to mules for evening looks.

Which mules to choose in 2018?

Buy the ones that you like and are comfortable with. Real mules and convenience don't go well, though. A model with high and medium heels, which at the same time is held exclusively by the toe, is not the best practical shoes... But it's boring in everything and always strive for practicality and comfort. For some looks, you can sacrifice something.
