The ultimate summer shoes – StyleNest rounds up the best espadrille shoes of the season.
From the sky-high raffia wedge to the casual flat lace-up, espadrilles have come on leaps and bounds from the humble summer slip-on. This season everyone from Tory Burch to DVF went mad for the summer espadrille and the high street followed suit, with affordable styles at Topshop and ASOS.
Whether you’re sunning on the beach in a retro playsuit and floppy hat, or looking chic in the city in tailored shorts and a shirt; espadrilles will add a finishing touch to your summer look.
