The mule’s triumphant return was one of the most surprising fashion trends we’d seen. Sure, the ’90s were back, but the mule? Well, we embraced it (And so did Victoria Beckham. And Jenni Kayne. And just about every girl out there) and can’t think anything better to pair with out culottes and midi dresses. This season, however, we’re taking our mules to a whole new place. Somewhere more sunny, casual and dressed down. These picks have the same silhouette, but their chunky heels mean they pair well with boyfriend jeans and shirtdresses much better than their polished, pointy brethren. Pick up a pair of these for a seasonal upgrade — walk a mile in these and you’ll be thankful for that thick heel. After all, you know what they say about girth…
