ARE ESPADRILLES FORMAL?

Chicly treading the line between smart and casual, the draw of the espadrille lies in its duality. From fine floral dresses to tailored trouser suits, they can be styled with myriad outfits and for all manner of occasions – whether you're beach-bound or attending an elegant summer wedding.

ARE ESPADRILLES ONLY FOR SUMMER?

There's no disputing the espadrille's summertime credentials, but they're perfectly appropriate for the transeasonal months too. Choose a closed toe pair in a darker colour – think navy or black – to ensure sartorial longevity.

CAN I WEAR ESPADRILLES TO A WEDDING?

Elegance and ease are key for weddings, making espadrilles the perfect shoes to pair with mother of the bride outfits or wedding guest dresses. Opt for wedges that will give you height, and morning to midnight wearability. To accentuate the femininity of midi or fit and flare dresses, choose ones with ribbon ankle straps you can tie into bows.

CAN I WEAR ESPADRILLES TO A RACE DAY?

While race courses can be strict when it comes to dress codes and fascinators, footwear rules are more relaxed. Allowing you to trade heels for espadrilles that are equally stylish yet offer more comfort. Premium leather and suede finishes will ensure your look is in keeping with the tone of the event.
