You live in your trusty Converse pumps all through Winter, Autumn, and Spring. You know they will always be ‘in’, and you know they will always go with any day outfit. Just like a white shirt, or a nude trench coat, these pumps are a staple accessory to  your wardrobe. But even then, staples need updates and summer is the perfect time to lighten those worn pumps and grab yourself some Espadrilles!

Just like pumps, espadrilles provide a cute and preppy look to any outfit and have that same all-day wearability. They’re perfect for this season with their rope raffia sole providing a summery feel, while its cotton upper adds a touch of colour or pattern; trendy and comfortable! The same vibe you get with a straw floppy hat, or a large beach bag, this Spanish shoe that Yves Saint Laurent was a huge fan of, can be incorporated into your summer outfit easily.

Update your regular pumps with the ASOS two pack of espadrilles containing two pairs at a ridiculously inexpensive price. Pair with some Levi jeans and a plain white tee or a stripy dress for a nautical feel.

ASOS JEAN Two Pack Espadrilles £18.00

Demonstrating the versatility of the espadrille is our very own Princess of Fashion, Kate Middleton who managed to wear two outfits with the same wedged espadrilles. To replicate Kate’s style and rock them with a classic navy outfit, try Roberto Vianni’s ARDELL espadrille wedge court shoe for only £39 at Dune.

 

 

 

The best thing about espadrilles is the fact that they cover the front and back of your foot (hiding any cracked heels or chipped toenail polish!) whilst still letting your feet breathe under hot conditions.  Plus with their comeback again this year, I think it’s quite clear this is a Summer Trend that will never go out of fashion.
