For several seasons in a row, many fashion collections include mules without backs. This unusual type of footwear is designed not only for women, but also for men. You will learn about what options there are for shoes without a back, what to wear them with and how to combine them to create a harmonious look from the article.
What are mules?
Despite the fact that the definition of mules is quite exhaustive, many people refer to them as all shoes without a back. However, this is a mistake. Since mules mean shoes, but not slippers or slates. The first shoes of this type appeared in ancient Rome. A little later, unusual shoes moved to Europe, where they gained their popularity.
By the way, in our country, mules, or mules, are most often referred to as clogs.
Shoe variety
There are several options for slip-on shoes that, depending on the weather and event, can dilute the look and bring something original to it.
So, clogs are divided into the following types:
- open or closed toe;
- with platform or wedge;
- with or without heels;
- rounded or elongated.
Of course, these shoes are suitable only for the warm season. Since it is not customary to wear socks or footprints under clogs.
What to wear clogs with?
When choosing soft shoes without backs, you need to be careful. Since this type of shoe is quite picky and requires a special combination with clothes. Classic clogs with a pointed cape are in harmony with a pencil or straight skirt. Also with straight pants. However, if you are pairing mules with trousers, keep in mind that the fabric should slightly cover the exposed heel. Otherwise, this option will look rather comical and ridiculous. But the legs should not be too long, otherwise it will interfere with walking.
Boyfriends and flats
The most stylish solution of recent seasons is the combination of wide jeans, called boyfriends, and soft mules with heels and open toes. Stylists suggest slightly tucking the ends of jeans or choosing ankle-length models. Add a light T-shirt with a jacket - and you are in trend!
Clogs
For lovers of ethnic outfits, clogs will be the best shoe solution. These cute platform mules with chunky heels are the perfect way to spice up the ethnic look.
The advantage of clogs is that they go with many types of clothing. You can wear lacemini dress and massive leather clogs and go to the party in this look. Or you can choose a printed cotton shirt, a wide leather belt, flared jeans and add these shoes. The look in the style of the 70s will suit creative and free from prejudice natures!
Male version
As we said earlier, not only the fair sex choose clogs for walking around the city, but also men. However, unlike women's, men's mules tend to go with a formal look. Unlike open-toe flip-flops, the men's version of the shoe is a bit more relaxed than regular closed-toe shoes, but still understated. Therefore, mules are suitable for work in the office without a too strict dress code.
Men's slip-on shoes go great with slightly cropped straight-cut trousers.
And also with not long jackets. For those who choose such shoes for city walks, we recommend wearing trousers made of natural fabrics and light shirts. And instead of leather clogs, look at suede models. A variant of this material, as a rule, is a kind of moccasin, only without the back.
Buy shoes without backs or not - you decide. After all, such extravagant shoes are not for everyone. However, having chosen a model to your liking, you are unlikely to regret purchasing it.
