Margot Robbie Wore the Shoe Trend I'm Swapping Ballet Flats for This Summer

Based on how wildly popular ballet flats have been for so long, it's only natural that offshoots of the trend are happening. One of those just got Margot Robbie's approval.
While out and about in NYC this weekend, Robbie wore several outfits consisting of baggy pants or jeans and flat shoes. One of those outfits stood out to me because of the summer-ready, ballerina-adjacent shoe trend she chose to wear. That trend is ballet flat mules. I find that mules are an excellent option for the summer months, as they're a sandal-flats hybrid. The backless shoes look especially effortless and chic with baggy jeans, full skirts, shorts, and everything in between.
