As far as summer shoes go, they don’t come much more classic than timeless espadrilles. From slip-ons to wedges, these raffia wonders are our new obsession.
A good sandal is stylish but comfortable, and one you can wear to ANY summer occasion your diary can throw at you.
That’s a lot of boxes to tick. Luckily for you we’ve found the style that does just that.

The espadrille is not only the most long-wearing sandal option you can invest in, but it’s also one of the chicest. Practically uniform in the French Riviera, these shoes aren’t a summer fling – in fact, we guarantee you’ll wear (and love) them for years to come.
A shoedrobe staple amongst influencers and celebrities alike (here’s looking at you, Millie Mackintosh and Georgia Toffolo), the styling potential involving these wedges is endless. Wear yours with denim cut-offs and an off-the-shoulder top in warmer climes then, for weekend picnics in the park, pair with a chic white midi dress and basket bag.
