As the snow starts to melt and the sun comes out to play, our accessories are in desperate need of a spring-friendly update. Mules are posed to be a major spring 2016 shoe trend, and now is the time to bring them out. The style is perfect for spring, evoking the edge of your fave fall booties with a more dainty, open-air design and zero effort needed — just slip ’em on and go. That means looking chic has never been easier, especially if you snag a close-toed pair (hear that, lazy girls?). Read on for 13 mules you should add to your spring closet.
