Though chunky heels are still having a moment, slipper-inspired flat mules offer a more casual, comfortable alternative. And the loafer inspiration has become even stronger thanks to Gucci’s ubiquitous furry loafers that made even heel addicts flat obsessed.
Best of all, there are numerous flat mules to update our wardrobes with, whether we’re after dressy options for evening, sleek styles for work or something fun for the weekend. Scroll through the gallery to see some of the hottest flat mules to buy now.
