How to wear espadrilles with style

The most summery footwear

Several seasons ago, espadrilles became part of the most common summer footwear and they are so comfortable and beautiful that they can be incorporated into a lot of looks, like this one by Paula Echevarría with a beautiful embroidered jumpsuit with a military-inspired jacket.

To the ankle

The more traditional espadrilles are tied at the ankle so that they are better with dresses or short skirts.

From Uterqüe, € 79

White

White espadrilles work the best because they combine with many different types of clothing. Alessandra Ambrosio wears them at all hours and in this case she has combined them with jeans in the same color and a sailor striped shirt.

Lemons

You can choose them plain or with a fun print like this one with lemons.

Partying

Espadrilles can also be a party shoe, and we do not mean when they are given as a gift at weddings to be able to dance without pain all night. The idea is to wear them as part of your look, just like Ana de Armas.

Dancer

For this, there is nothing better than espadrilles as sophisticated as these, with rhinestones and inspired by ballet shoes.

Basics

If you do not dare to do so much, you can always start using this shoe with a basic model like this one and wear it in a total look, like Jamie Lee Curtis.

Ornaments

Although they are simple, they can have some type of decoration that gives them a more sophisticated look such as the rhinestones or the trims of these two models.

Platforms

The characteristic feature of espadrilles is their esparto sole, so these platforms that Reese Witherspoon wears are also a perfect example. She wears them with a plaid skirt and a simple matching top, but you can also wear them with pants.

Soaring

If like Reese you are short and want your legs to appear longer, carrying very high platforms is an infallible trick.

Nude

Of course, for that, you already know that nude colors are also great allies. Emily Ratajkowski knows this and that is why she turns to them to balance her silhouette when wearing oversized garments like the ones in this look.

Flat

Even if espadrilles are flat, or flat, these colors always flatter. This model, by not wearing a bracelet around the ankle, can be worn with long pants without problems and of course, also with all kinds of skirts and shorts.

Sport

It is true that the most sophisticated models can be worn in more formal outfits, but if there is a field in which espadrilles stand out, it is in that of sportswear. We are not telling you to wear them to go to the gym (although there are many celebrities who do) but to wear them with those sports-inspired clothes that you wear on the street, just like Gigi Hadid does.

Embroidered

Nothing better than embroidered espadrilles to put a bohemian note to your more casual clothes and this style is very fashionable this year.

Dress

Is there a more summery look than the one Sofía Vergara wears here? The combination of wedge espadrilles with a long dress is infallible. You will always be right and you will look super stylish, even if you go to bread!

Great allies

You are going to get a lot out of a basic like this this summer. You can wear it with long dresses, as we said, but also with short ones, with skirts, shorts and even jeans.

Black

This look from Pippa Middleton is 10. The Duchess of Cambridge's sister combines her striped minidress with espadrilles tied at the ankle and shows that these shoes can be the most elegant if combined with the right accessories.

Combine colors

Black combines well with almost all shades (it is one of the few rules about fashion that are true) so do not be afraid to dare with models like this because they open a range - super wide - of possibilities when it comes to mixing them.

Wear them with everything!

As you can see, espadrilles are much easier to combine than you thought. In fact, they can be combined with the vast majority of your summer clothes and even extend their use at the beginning of autumn, as Jessica Biel does.

Khaki

To get the most out of them, get yourself some in a basic shade like khaki, black or brown so you can stretch out their use until it's really cold again.

The perfect complement to espadrilles

If you still don't have a straw, raffia or wicker bag or basket, you should get one now. This summer they will take a lot and also, they combine with everything you have in your closet.

Espadrilles are one of the star footwear of the summer (for a few years now) and, as we are going to show you , you can wear them with many more clothes than you think . They are not only used to go down for the bread comfortably, no, you can even take them to an elegant party. It all depends, of course, on the model you choose and that you know how to combine them well.

Espadrilles for everything and everyone

With dresses . Long summer dresses are one of your great allies by nature. To combine them well, nothing like high platforms that stylize the silhouette and visually lengthen it. You can also combine them even with party dresses. In these cases, opt for more sophisticated models, with rhinestones or fabrics such as satin. The minivestidos also go great with espadrilles. Combine them with one of the colors of the pattern to get it right.
With jeans. Espadrilles work wonderfully with jeans and a simple striped T-shirt. If they are long, in this case dispense with those that are tied to the ankle and opt for those that leave this area clear. If the jeans are very baggy, wear them as a platform. If they are skinny type, the flat ones are an ideal option.
With skirts. If you want to wear espadrilles with a skirt, do not hesitate and opt for high ones. If your legs are long, you can dare with those that are tied at the ankle without fear of shortening your silhouette. And if your goal is to lengthen it, opt for light shades that are open.
With monkeys. If you have a printed or embroidered summer jumpsuit , you can wear it with espadrilles. In these cases, we like the way the thin straps knotted to the middle of the calf are.
