The footwear update: Espadrilles

Native to Spain and popularized in the Basque Country, espadrilles have a history that stretches back to the Middle Ages – and judging by the love they’ve been getting this season, it looks like they’ve got a bright future ahead of them, too. Purists will love Manebí and Castañer’s traditional designs – wear them with frayed jeans and cotton coverups. If you like a little more finesse to your footwear, opt for (literally) elevated leather versions by the likes of Saint Laurent and See By Chloé, perfect partners for a silk slip dress or ruffled day dress. Modern classics.
