Let's cut to the chase: This season, we're mad about mules. As we count the days until it's officially spring on the east coast, we can't wait to slip into a pair of new sandals, show off a fresh pedicure, and finally get some sun. And with '90s trends continuing to influence today's style, it's no surprise that mule sandals are already flying off shelves. Heck, we wouldn't be surprised to see Jennifer Aniston step out in a vintage pair from the Friends era and have them look totally 2023.
Of course, H&M is on top of it, with several new pairs of '90s-inspired affordable sandals. We're partial to the lower-heeled styles with interesting straps, but if you're into high heels or wedges, they're just as versatile with a pair of jeans as they are with a cute mini or midi tube dress.
Ahead, shop our favorite affordable mule sandals from our go-to's (including several on major sale) and prepare to step out in style this spring. Bonus points for committing to the '90s bit with rectangular sunglasses and a baguette bag.
Shop the Mule Sandals From H&M
Obsessed is an understatement: the square footbeds, kitten heels, and embossed crocodile print make these '90s dream shoes.
Shop More Mule Sandals
Similarly sleek yet understated, these mules give off vibes from price brands like The Row.
A slim rectangular heel plus woven strap feels very 2023.
Two words: denim rosettes.
If wedges are more your speed, then these are definitely the retro statement sandals of the season.
A coordinated pedicure color isn't a must but is highly encouraged when wearing these wedges that come in several colors.
Majorly into the marble treatment going on here.
The heels look high, but the platform soles make these affordable mule sandals quite comfortable.
Basically right out of Rachel Green's wardrobe.
Linen always feels so '90s.
These just might be our go-to shoes of the season.
Just a few pairs left, but so worth it.
Score these heeled mules (in several colors) while they're on sale.
A ruched strap with a slim stiletto heel was made to be worn on a night out.
