How I Wear The Espadrille

The Espadrille is hard not to reach for on a hot day. It may be a casual shoe, but its contemporary silhouette and slightly thicker-than-average sole make it feel undeniably chic and elegant. I love wearing mine in a few different ways — a selection of which you’ll find below.

Tailored and Soft

Worn with a neutral outfit and long, tailored trousers, this look proves that espadrilles can be just as refined and stylish in a more elevated, everyday setting.

Breezy Layers

A tasteful and comfortable summer look. A flowy, long skirt paired with a breathable linen blouse makes for a great match with the textured look and feel of the canvas espadrille.

Chic Without Thinking

For me, a timeless combination. A classic jeans-and-shirt pairing finds a good balance between chic and casual. It’s a go-to outfit that works for all sorts of occasions.

Light and Easy

For warmer days, the espadrille is an obvious choice. It adds breathability and complements high-summer outfits with ease — for example, a relaxed linen shirt and tailored shorts. Complete the look with brown accessories for a touch of polish.

When the Sun Hangs Low

As day turns into night, while the warmth of the sun still lingers, that’s when the black suede version comes out. Its discreet colour and soft material, paired with the rustic feel of the sole, add just the right amount of contrast for a really chic and elegant outfit. Here, I’ve matched it with long, flowy black trousers and a white body top — finished off with a few black details to bring it all together.
