These Outfit Ideas Will Make You Love Your Mules Even More, If That's Possible

Mules have quickly gone from a tricky trend to pull off to a diehard obsession. It seems like, these days, mules are even easier to style than flats, simply because they give a throw-on-and-go outfit consisting of staples that extra boost.

Whether it's choosing a chunky sole or coordinating your mules with a breezy, fluttery dress so that you're carefree on top, we've got the "2018 way" of sporting your new favorite footwear this season.
