I’ve reached the point of summer in which I’m officially over it. The fact that I’ve lost count of how many “heat domes” we’ve had on the East Coast this year should explain why. To get myself through these sweltering days, I’ve started turning my mind to what I’ll be buying to make that highly anticipated (at least for me) jump from summer to fall. I’m starting with shoes, and just in time, the incredibly stylish Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti just wore a flat-shoe trend that couldn’t be more perfect for making the impending seasonal transition.

Ceretti was spotted between shows during the recent Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, wearing a casual, trend-forward summer outfit. She opted for a pair of pull-on boxer-style shorts with an unbuttoned button-down over a T-shirt. It was a great combination, but the thing I was most interested in was her shoes: slipper-style flat mules (hers in brown suede). Given that the trend is continuing on from last fall, you might even already own a pair. The open-in-the-back, closed-in-the-front shoes make sense for both summer and fall, which is basically the definition of a perfect transitional shoe. Keep scrolling to get a pair for yourself.
