Yes, the luxe mule is a great travel companion and guaranteed to instantly elevate any outfit to first class. Eminently practical, not only will it double up as a destination go-to for cocktails at sundown, it’s also the perfect shoe choice for kicking back, kicking off and elegantly lounging when you put your feet up during the flight.
