The sun is starting to come out more and more, which means Spring/Summer clothes have already begun sneaking into your daily wardrobe. One trend that I see (as I’m sure are too) in the streets, in stores and online are espadrilles. Now you might ask, “What makes this shoe an espadrille?”. Well, lucky for you I have an answer. The style of shoe can be a heel, wedge, or a flat, however, the heel consists of jute rope. Traditionally the top part of the shoe is made of a canvas or linen, but in modern times we have incorporated all types of materials such as leather. I have found a few that I am loving right now and wanted to share them with you all.
1: Obviously, I’m showing the Marc Fisher espadrilles. These are the hottest spring shoe right now. They are all over Instagram right now and on everyone’s wish list. Get them while they are hot because they are selling out fast. I chose to highlight the style with the perforated leather, which is a twist on the basic look.
2: Now for those who do not like heels or flashy shoes, Vans created a slip on espadrille sneaker. How clever is that, right? This sneaker is the perfect beach shoe not only because of the jute, but the light color and they are comfortable to walk in.
3: This Steve Madden espadrille is fantastic. It is a combination between a boot and a sandal, which makes it perfect for the transition to Spring. I’m picturing a cute floral or denim skirt paired with this shoe. A pair of cute skinny jeans would look great with these shoes as well.
4: Another beautiful Marc Fisher style. I love this style because of the t-strap style of the shoe. I chose the cognac for this style as I felt the suede contrasted nicely with the jute heel. The possibilities are endless when it comes to what to wear with this espadrille.
5: Now, these shoes are lively. Tory Burch created a fun and flat espadrille that is perfect for summer. I’m thinking cut-off denim shorts, a cool white button up shirt, a beach tote, and these shoes. Am I right?!
6: This pair of Soludos shoes is another adorable flat espadrille. I love the embroidered lip embellishment on the tops. If lips aren’t your thing, there are so many different options to choose from as well. These shoes are perfect for traveling around on that beach cruiser.
7: I think this pair of Steve Madden shoes is unique. It’s a platform espadrille shoe with a rubber sole, what a crazy combination. These shoes would be great paired with jeans, skirts, shorts, well almost anything.
8: These pretty in pink shoes by Steve Madden are too cute. I just love the very simple style in a beautiful powder pink. This shoe comes in tan and black, but I thought the color stood out more and is a perfect shade of pastel for Spring.
9: I’m infatuated with these pair of Steve Madden espadrilles. The closed toe and the wrapping of the strap around the leg make these shoes perfect for a beach day or night. In my daydream, I’m picturing wearing these to Hawaii or the Bahamas in a cute one-piece, a matching swimsuit cover, and a beach tote. They would look even better in real life.
