The Flat-Shoe Trend Everyone Will Wear to the Airport With Jeans This Fall Is Here

The most logical way to bridge summer and fall starts with a specific shoe style. If you guessed mules, I'm happy to say that you're correct. It's simply the ideal sandal-and-flat-shoe hybrid to bridge the gap, and it works equally well for both seasons. It's also the perfect airport shoe, as it's comfortable and keeps your feet covered and can easily be slipped on or off if needed. If you want to take things a step further and talk about the specific mule trend to wear to the airport this fall (and now, of course), look no further than Gisele Bündchen, who was recently spotted at the airport in Rio de Janeiro.

The trend Bündchen wore is boat mules, a backless take on the boat-shoe trend (aka, deck shoes) that gained widespread popularity in recent seasons. Bündchen's shoes were a suede pair by Miu Miu, which, as you may recall, is primarily responsible for the resurgence of the boat-shoe trend, after it made its way down the brand's S/S 24 runway. And yes, Miu Miu is also responsible for making the mule version cool, as multiple brands have jumped on the bandwagon since. And as you'll see, the trend looks perfect with jeans, which is what Bündchen paired hers with, along with a button-down shirt over a white tank.

With that, scroll on to see Bündchen's chic airport look for yourself and to shop an array of boat mules to wear to the airport (or anywhere else) now and this fall.
