Prior to the onset of boot season, these are the closed-toe shoes that trendsetters consistently opt for first, defying the typical trends.

      As you're likely aware, we're approaching that peculiar transitional season when it's still warm outside, yet school buses are back on the roads and Labor Day is just around the corner. Fall is on the horizon, and soon we will pack away our flip-flops in favor of more substantial footwear. However, it's not quite the right time for boots yet. So, what essential shoe style do fashion-forward individuals choose before the boot season begins each year? Closed-toe mules. Recently, we highlighted flat slipper mules, thanks to Vittoria Ceretti, and now Zoë Kravitz, another fashion icon, is showcasing the high-heel version of this style.

      While out in New York City today, Kravitz was seen wearing a black lace-trimmed camisole paired with denim shorts. To transition her summery look for fall, she chose the aforementioned high-heel closed-toe mules instead of sandals or ballet flats. This style isn’t necessarily trendy since it reappears in various forms year after year, which, in my opinion, makes high-heel closed-toe mules even more appealing. Keep scrolling to check out Kravitz's styling and shop some of the best options available online.
