Preview AW17: Flat Mules
The design reminds us of the men' slippers our grandfathers were wearing at home. But now the flat mules, how they have been renamed are very popular and virtually all the footwear makers have got at least a version in their catalogues. This is the right time to wear them because the weather is still decent and we are trying to wear socks and tights as later as possible. Also they are very comfortable and if you wear a smart pair it can be taken at work as well. I've found few pairs while attending press events around town.
*Not Yet* This very ornate pair of mules are the Lead by Carvela Kurt Geiger. Its lining is quilted for better comfort and the upper is embroidered with crystals applied. These shoes are great when entertaining guests at home because they are very glamorous and at the same time very comfortable. Pair them with trousers for a sophisticated look.
