The Classic Closed-Toe Shoe Fashion People Who Just Aren't Into Flip Flops Rely on
I don't know about you, but as the days warm up, I've found myself increasingly unsure of what shoes to slip into. Living in the city, I don’t always love stepping out in something open-toed, but with temperatures rising and London’s humidity creeping in, my go-to boots and trainers are starting to feel stuffy. If I could bear an open-toe, flip-flops would be the obvious solution—casual, breezy, easy to wear—but as much as I appreciate their effortlessness, they’re just not a staple I reach for regularly. However, Emma Watson has just reminded me of the classic closed-toe equivalent that's even more comfortable than flip-flops and, in my opinion, far easier to wear.
Stepping out in Paris, Watson completed her jeans and barn jacket get-up with a light brown pair of fur-lined Birkenstock Boston mules. Imbued with a utlaitarian energy, Watson's barn jacket and Birkenstock combination was softened by the light, natural palette that she reached for both items in.
Hardly a newcomer, Birkenstock's Boston mules have been a heavyweight player in fashion people's wardrobes for years. The ergonomic cork sole, easy slip-on design and gently rounded toe all create a relaxed silhouette that makes styling so easy.
While Watson’s jeans-and-Birkenstock look is a classic pairing, the beauty of the Boston mule lies in its versatility. Lean towards a Scandi-inspired approach by matching it with loose linen separates, or style with cotton shorts during summer's hottest days.
With a closed-toe design and open-heel finish, these offer just the right amount of coverage for summer days in the city. If you're also flip-flop hesitant, read on to discover Birkenstock Boston mules below.
