Fashion moms are our biggest style inspirations here at Who What Wear. Since they’re always on the go, balancing school drop-off with meetings and after-work dinner plans, they know how to dress in a way that’s comfortable, practical, and endlessly stylish. One person we look to the most is Hailey Bieber because she always makes it look easy. Her recent outfit is a perfect example of effortless cool and sophistication without relying on high heels, trousers, or a dress.

While out for dinner in L.A. this past week, Bieber was photographed wearing a polished denim ensemble. She styled a fitted tweed jacket as a top; paired it with low-slung, relaxed jeans; and grounded the outfit with black ballet mules. True to her signature off-duty style, she accessorized with retro sunglasses and a tote bag from The Row.

If you follow Bieber’s off-duty style, you know she loves ballet flats, especially paired with jeans. While she’s typically seen in classic flats or those with a block heel, she’s now making the case for heeled mules, and we’re here for it. The easy slip-on silhouette suits a busy, on-the-go routine, and the streamlined shape creates a balanced contrast against baggy jeans. Plus, the slight heel adds just enough lift for a touch of sophistication.

Even if you aren’t a mom, taking a page from Bieber’s style playbook by pairing heeled ballet mules with jeans is the ideal solution for days when uncomfortable heels are out of the question. To re-create the look, scroll down to discover the chicest heeled ballet mules and jeans.
