The summer sandal-come-shoe to rival no others, basically, the espadrille is the hot season footwear queen. Wedged, so instant lean leg illusion, a gorgeously elongating toe, cute and oh so summer-caj canvas sole AND a tie-up ankle. Classic in black, nude or beige blush, and way cute in a stripe or hot colour of the season (hey yellow/mustard/red lovelies), you'll wear forever. And with everything. Jeans, dresses, shorties, suits, and for ALL the occasions.
So because I'm always being asked about my black Castaners, and recently my new beige beauties (exact pair above) AND I genuinely couldn't recommend them enough as one of the only pair of shoesies you really need to buy for the summer (and every one forevermore) now, tbh, I've rounded up an edit of some of the best out there, for all budgets.
Happy summer shoesie shopping.

Spring's sudden shift
into summer is a tricky one isn't it? And let's be honest, we've all kind of
been catapulted into August-level intensities wonderfully prematurely this year
haven't we (NOT complaining in any way over here, btw) - cue ALL sorts of
what-to-wear, I-hate-EVERYTHING meltdowns, ammi' right? I honestly think I've
only really felt like I've got the whole dressing for it thing even remotely
true to me within the last couple of years. The whole
turning-30-and-things-shift vibe really has proven true for me, in more ways
than just how to dress yo'self (don't believe the myth that stylists always
know how to look chic af all the time - we damn well wobble on 'but which damn
shoe/earring/jacket/but does this reaaaally go, tho'' probs on
the reg, too. Trust.
Simply
put, I say stick to your silhouette. The shapes, fits, cuts and colours you've
been wearing for the longest winter of all of our lives? Still gorgeous in
summer FYI, with a few inevitable seasonal shift-ups. We feel great in those
said components & combos for a reason lovelies, so why in the name of all
things sensible would we wear the complete opposite in the season where we are inevitably
more conscious? Just sayin'.
Those
who know and follow me know I'm a sucker for a neutral, a magpie for absolutely
anything nude, a total taupe-on-taupe, gimme-tonality obsessive, whatever the
season. And at the minute, I'm literally a walking talking beige + billowy
white thing mannequin, and I'm SO HAPPY. And gorgeously comfortable, FYI, because my fav type of 'waist' is having a moment, and let me tell you, paperbag/high waisted & tied types are THE ONE. Add a
mule, slider, barely there & switch up the blouse/t-shirt/great fitting
vest combo + gold jewels to suit the occasion, and bam. Literally a combo fit for
all conundrums in my world rn.
