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. A backless shoe doesn't have to feel unreliable, not when there are countless ways to make sure you're comfortable enough. 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.

Work a colorful pair with an equally vibrant, floor-skimming dress.

When it's all about the details on your mules, make sure your hemline falls just below the knee, so as not to distract from the focal point.

Work a kitten heel style with jeans and a breezy dress on top. Add edge with a fanny pack and leather jacket so you're tough up top and dainty on the bottom.

Achieve total elegance in a silk, body-hugging number.

Work a bow-adorned style with a floor-length printed coat.

Show off your sass with a more avant-garde design, and make sure to keep the rest of your look neutral.

Offset patent leather pants with a really bold colorway to achieve an '80s vibe.

Use them to work the "boudoir trend" on the street, opting for flowy pajama pants and a button-down. Show your lacy bra if you dare.

Balance a chunky white pair with a graphic print dress and artsy earrings.

Attract eyes down South when you work metallic and Lucite mules with a light color like lavender.

Roll up your jeans to show off your shoes, and keep your accessories to a minimum.

Use your mules to play up a glitzy, glamorous piece of jewelry.

Opt for a truly unique style, like a design complete with a pearl heel, and see if onlookers can spy the cool detail.

Toughen up a feminine silhouette with track pants and a puffy coat or vest.

Satin on top, satin on the bottom. Work your bejeweled mules with a luxe-lapeled blazer.

Where you'd normally fit in classic pumps — i.e. with a skirt suit — substitute your mules for an unexpected style twist.

Hold their gaze with a sequined outfit or top and add final shock with bright pink mules.
