With a clear reminiscence of the summer afternoons of our lives, the most beautiful espadrilles and wedges slip back into our shoe rack. As an alternative to sandals, which will always be the summer footwear par excellence, espadrilles offer us a plus of comfort . Surely you have more than one pair stored there for which you have been washing for two summers and it is that once you wear them, you no longer want to take them off again.

Your most flattering allies

In addition to the comfort of their materials (jute or esparto) and how beautiful their designs tend to be, espadrilles and wedges are capable of giving us some extra height so that we can see our legs (almost) as stylized as when we wear 12 centimeters of heel.

The platform trend has been flooding this style of footwear for two years, so you can be fashionable in two different ways. In addition, there are tricks to stylize your figure with the help of clothes, so that you also show off the flat models that have arrived this summer.

The trends in espadrilles this summer 2018

With all the espadrilles we've had a crush on, showcase after showcase, they bring together a series of qualities that make them the best of the season . The espadrilles and wedges that you have have to be like this:

Ankle bracelet. One of those that emulates the classic heeled sandal of a lifetime but with the extra comfort you were looking for. Don't worry, they won't shorten your legs if you know how to combine them properly.
Transparent strips: Yes, as you read it. Sheer straps are the latest trend in shoe trends. There are even them with the ankle bracelet like this, transparent, so that your legs appear even longer.
Metallized. The most powerful touch is given by this type of finish. Whether gold, bronze or silver, these espadrilles are one of the big bets of the season.
With embroidery and beads. If you don't like plain prints, opt for designs with embroidery or beading, which are anything but boring.
With the most viral prints. If you are a fan of polka dots, surely you do not mind that they are also printed on your joker shoes of the summer.

Bet on the most beautiful espadrilles and wedges and, above all, comfortable so you don't have to do a Kristen Stewart in the middle of a red carpet.
