If you’re tired of your flip-flop and sandal rotation, let us introduce you to another style to throw in the mix: espadrilles. Initially designed for Yves St. Laurent and rocked by iconic Hollywood actresses and French influencers alike, it’s safe to say that fashion culture has embraced espadrilles with open arms (and shoe racks). 

And it’s no wonder why. Espadrilles complement everyday silhouettes like dresses and blouses, and many are designed with practical details like cushioned footbeds and adjustable straps that make them a perfect pair of travel shoes.

Lucky for you (and us), there’s no shortage of fresh and modern renditions of the espadrille, from smoking slippers and flats to wedges and sandals. So whether you prefer a classic, closed-toe wedge or something a little more trendy, we’re confident that there’s a style for you in our roundup of the best women’s espadrilles ahead.

WHAT TO LOVE: We’re going to level with you: Espadrilles aren’t always comfortable. So the fact that reviewers are quick to call out how light and easy these espadrille wedges are to wear is the best news we could hope for. Their cuteness (especially that of the clear version) is just the cherry on top.

STYLE SPECIFICS: Nordstrom mentions that this style runs small, so we recommend opting for a size up from your usual.

WHAT TO LOVE: In the world of espadrilles, Soludos are well-recognized for their thoughtfully crafted take on the style. This pair features a classically round toe box, a platform wedge footbed, and a long ribbon to artfully tie around your ankles.

STYLE SPECIFICS: Soludos’ Espadrille Wedges come in black, midnight blue, blush linen, and soft pink, which means there’s probably a pair out there to match every ‘fit you wear this summer.
