The Trendologist Loves: Mules

Deny it all you want, but you love shoes. Even if you collect a plethora of purses or statement jewels, you can't help but get a little weak in the knees when you see a stunning pair of kicks. Every style savant is different: some may go ga-ga for sky-high heels while others adore a good ballerina flat. As for me? Lately, I've been obsessed with the ever-so-sleek mule. Though the silhouette is nothing new to a shoe connoisseur, this "barely there bootie" is the epitome of forward-thinking fashion. If you too were bit by the mule bug (which sounds like some rare, but deadly, disease), I come with good news: they are going to be all the rage this fall. From Reed Krakoff to Alexander Wang, fashion's finest have gifted us with a bevy of styles to choose from.

One of my favorite things about mules is that they are extremely versatile. The key to rocking these is to keep the rest of your ensemble's silhouette crisp. As much as you may want to wear your favorite summer dress one last time before the leaves change colors, do not pair this trend with something frilly-- you'll just look confused. From a fitted dress at the office to boyfriend jeans and a tee for brunch with your fellow trendsetters, mules can be dressed up or down.
