Espadrilles for men and women include flat canvas espadrilles, mule espadrilles, loafer espadrilles, and platform espadrilles, on a jute sole.
The espadrille is worn barefoot, from the beach to the terrace: the Toms Alpargata in canvas for everyday, a platform espadrille Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk to gain height without a heel.
The espadrilles Toms lead the selection: Toms Alpargata and Alpargata Rope 2.0 espadrilles, with a rope sole, Toms Alonso Loafer Rope espadrilles, in a loafer style, and Toms Santiago espadrilles in a mule version, with an open heel. The Alpargata Rope 2.0 also comes in nautical stripes, for a seaside vibe.
The Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk Tulip espadrilles and the brand's platform espadrilles take on a feminine version: the summer espadrille is worn with a summer dress, wide trousers, or cropped jeans.
The men's espadrilles are based on Toms: the Alpargata, the simplest one, is worn with shorts or rolled-up chinos, the Alonso Loafer with linen trousers for a dressier outfit. The canvas espadrille replaces trainers in summer, worn barefoot.
The women's espadrilles include Toms Santiago suede espadrilles, in a mule version, and Odaje and Natural World espadrilles. The wedge espadrille elongates the silhouette without the strain of a thin heel.
The flat canvas espadrille is the lightest and most casual; the wedge, on a rope platform, dresses up a dress or a skirt; the loafer style, with a moccasin design, works in the city with chinos. For the beach, a light canvas espadrille remains the coolest option.
For a dressier line, loafers in leather or suede take over, along with Sebago Docksides boat shoes: the summer loafer is also worn without socks.
A natural or ecru espadrille goes with everything, from linen shorts to jeans; navy and black are worn in the city, stripes and bright colours at the beach. A black espadrille also works with lightweight trousers for a summer wedding, and a striped espadrille brightens up a white outfit. Light-coloured canvas gets dirty quickly: a protective spray, applied new, keeps it clean longer.
Gold espadrilles or silver ones dress up an evening outfit on holiday, with a long dress or white trousers. Leather espadrilles, more durable than canvas, can be worn longer into the season and withstand a shower better. The platform espadrille, on a thick rope sole, adds height without the imbalance of a thin heel.
Cheap espadrilles can be found in the shoe special offers, and the new shoe arrivals show the pairs for the warm season. At the end of November, Black Friday shoes also reduces the prices of Toms espadrilles. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.
Canvas stretches a bit with wear: take your usual size, preferably snug, especially for a lace-free model. Between two sizes, the smaller one holds the foot better once the canvas has shaped.
By hand, in cold soapy water, without soaking the rope sole, which dries badly and can deform. Let dry in the air, in the shade: the rope sole is sensitive to prolonged moisture.
No, espadrilles are worn barefoot. Invisible footies protect the canvas from sweat without being seen: the barefoot espadrille remains the rule.
Linen shorts, short chinos or a summer dress; natural tones, beige, white or navy, match the rope sole. A simple summer outfit is enough.
For the city and outings, yes; for long walks, a thicker sole or a sandal with a footbed is better suited. The espadrille remains a casual shoe.
