It’s that awkward time of year when it’s not cold enough to wear boots and not hot enough to wear sandals. To make in-between weather more bearable (and less sartorially confusing), we rounded up eight transitional shoes, from mules to loafers, that will help put a spring in your step.
These give the standard boyish loafer a feminine twist, with their stacked heel, slim toe, and soft navy leather. Everlane loafers, $165; everlane.com
