With summer in full swing, style dilemmas start from the feet. Easy-to-slip-on mules or breezy sandals? When it comes to these two summer shoe choices, what's your pick?

#Light and Comfortable Mules

Thanks to their open-back design, mules are easy to slip on and off, and they're especially simple to style. This summer, mules with standout details are particularly popular.

Pair bright red patent mules to add vibrancy to your look, or emphasize a sweet mood with flat mules adorned with pearls. At resorts, add summer-only textures like raffia mules to bring out the seasonal vibe from your feet. Mules pair perfectly with skirts or dresses rather than pants. When styled with looks that show off your legs, they stand out even more.

#Sandals with Style and Coolness

Sandals are always a summer staple. This year, design details stand out more than mere functionality.

Metallic silver sandals add a refreshing and urban sophistication, while ivory-colored wedge sandals serve as the perfect accent for a pristine summer dress. Classic leather sandals create a modern feel when paired with slacks, or a bohemian mood when matched with denim. The key to choosing is not 'how cool they look,' but 'what atmosphere you want to convey.'
