If you've been searching for an elegant summer shoe that's fit for a queen but casual enough for a commoner, well, you've come to the right place. The über-stylish Queen Letizia of Spain was spotted with her daughters, Princess Leonor and Princess Sofía, who were wearing easy, breezy summer neutrals and our go-to shoe of the season: the espadrille.
Originally designed for and worn by Spanish and French peasants, espadrilles typically feature a canvas or cotton upper with a flexible sole made of esparto rope. Today, the shoe is available in various styles and heights, including flats, wedges, and sandals.
If you haven't yet dipped your toes into the espadrille trend this summer, well, better late than never! Keep scrolling to shop stylish and comfortable espadrilles to carry you through the rest of the season.
