Although serious competitors are present this season, such as fisherman sandals, we can still count on women’s espadrilles for spring-summer 2024. Once again this year, these rope shoes are making a comeback, both in city and beach looks. From flat versions to pairs that elevate us, discover five ways to wear them on sunny days.
Flat Canvas Women’s Espadrilles: A Summer Must-Have
Made with braided hemp or jute, women’s espadrilles have been around for many years. After being long associated with regional folklore and traditional outfits, they have become pieces integrated into our everyday wardrobes. Especially appreciated for the warm seasons, with their light canvas, they were initially adopted on the sand before strutting on the cobblestones.
As every year, women’s espadrilles return in their classic silhouette. That is to say: the flat version that wraps the foot in fabric. Easy to slip on and offering a vacation vibe, they are the essential pair to have. We find them in solid colors or with patterns, particularly featuring the trendy prints of this season. Some pairs of espadrilles even feature stitched straps at the front.
Flat Espadrilles in Sandal Style
To keep the charm of braided rope while adding a touch of modernity, discover sandal-style espadrilles. They unveil straps or a mule silhouette, swapping out the full canvas for a piece of leather or tied fabric. For a more original model, slides are also getting the rope sole this summer!
Laced Women’s Espadrilles for an Elaborate Pair
For a pair of shoes that are a bit more sophisticated, laced women’s espadrilles are the perfect pieces. They feature interesting material combinations, notably with pieces that combine different fabrics or patterns. These models come in both flat and wedge versions. The elegance of these pairs pairs beautifully with linen outfits.
Wedge and Platform Espadrilles for Added Height
For those who prefer pairs with a bit of height, good news, heeled espadrilles are back more than ever. Wedge shoes are among the retro trends of the season. We recently saw them in the costumes of the film Challengers or in a glamorous version at Rouje. In the espadrille category, we discover classic laced models as seen previously, but also pairs with a sandal or mule spirit. We see soles of varying heights and inclinations, some more refined than others. Certain models offer a bolder silhouette for this summer shoe with a sculpted heel, embodying platform espadrilles! Cotton, linen, leather, raffia, and other materials reveal themselves in soft or vibrant hues.
Basket-Style Espadrilles for a Versatile Pair
For all-terrain shoes, basket-style espadrilles may charm you. The combination of a more or less high sole with a fitted canvas and laces offers an elegant silhouette to the pair. We have here a perfect blend of comfort and style. These espadrilles feature soft aesthetics, with beige hues or embroidered white fabrics. We also find them with summery plaid prints or black models to adapt to summer evenings.
Women’s espadrilles come in multiple silhouettes to accompany you all the way through summer!
