The Most Stylish Espadrilles To Buy Now, According To ELLE Editors
Nothing says summer quite like a standout pair of espadrilles. This timeless shoe is the perfect complement to breezy linen sets, flowy sundresses, and the quintessential Spanish aesthetic. Whether you're aiming for a refined and sophisticated vibe or a laid-back beachy look, this versatile style deserves a place in everyone's summer shoe lineup. Espadrilles have a history that spans millennia, and their enduring popularity is no coincidence. Originating in the Pyrenees region of Spain and France, these humble shoes were once the footwear of choice for soldiers and labourers, prized for their affordability and durability. Over time, espadrilles have evolved from practical staples into the stylish, trendy shoes we know and adore today. So, how should one style this classic shoe? Consider pairing a statement wedge with a midi skirt, an off-the-shoulder top, and a mini bag for a vacation-ready ensemble, or style an espadrille sandal with knit shorts and a lightweight T-shirt for a relaxed daytime look. From Mary Jane silhouettes and unique platforms to gladiator-inspired straps and easy slip-on mesh styles, ELLE editors have rounded up their favourite summer espadrilles you're sure to love. The fashion set has fallen in love with Loeffler Randall's whimsical shoes, and their classic red and cream espadrilles are no different. 'Searching for the perfect, versatile summer shoe? These Mary Jane espadrilles effortlessly blend two of my favorite styles into one fun silhouette. The airy crochet knit, paired with the classic espadrille sole, not only looks charming but also keeps your feet cool and comfortable in warm weather.'—Laura Tarafa, commerce writer 'There's a reason everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to the Capitol's politicians loves Rothy's shoes: They're comfortable. And lately, the sustainable shoe brand has been making some seriously cute silhouettes. Case in point: the Espadrille Mary Jane. I feel like these will give my looks that French-girl level of chic—and in black, they give an edge that feels a little more in line with my personal style.'—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor I love Madewell for its timeless staples—including the chic footwear selection. This thong sandal, featuring delicate leather straps in rich caramel, is a versatile choice that can be easily dressed up or down. 'The Rolls-Royce of espadrilles that go with everything. Castañer's black canvas style is the perfect height and features a sloped heel to keep you from slipping. Case closed.'—Claire Stern Milch, digital director With its gently sloped arch and supportive ankle strap, the Manon Espadrille offers lasting comfort for all-day wandering. Crafted from velvety-soft leather and detailed with supportive crisscross straps, this elegant, sturdy pair is sure to turn heads—especially when styled with ankle-grazing denim or a gauzy cotton midi dress. 'I got these espadrilles on a whim a few summers ago, and I'm so glad I did. They have that classic, lace-up silhouette, but the wedge heel isn't too tall, so they're still comfortable and easy to walk in. They're great for those outdoor outings when you're spending most of your time on your feet. Case in point: At Cannes this year, I raced from my hotel to a screening on foot in these shoes—and made it just in time.'—Erica Gonzales, deputy editor, culture Isn't this combination of contrasting trim binding and a Mary Jane silhouette just delightful? Naguisa, known for its beautifully handcrafted espadrilles from Spain, brings comfort and sophistication to every pair. I can't recommend its polished styles enough! Embrace the tomato-red color trend with this bold espadrille from Anthropologie. A practical option for stylish city strolling, this daring shade adds a hint of intrigue to any ensemble.

Cariuma Gave This Celeb-loved Sneaker Style a Comfy Upgrade for Summer—and It's Already Selling Out
Every traveler knows that comfy shoes are essential, but too often, that means sacrificing style. When you're logging over 10,000 steps while sightseeing, choosing comfort over fashion seems like a necessary evil. I've worn my fair share of ugly-yet-cloudlike sneakers—but no longer. Now, thanks to summer's biggest shoe trend, the Mary Jane sneaker, we can finally enjoy both fashion and function. Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Dua Lipa have already been spotted wearing iterations of the style, but there's one pair, in particular, that we're most excited about: the newly dropped Oca Mary Janes from Cariuma, the brand behind Travel + Leisure editors' favorite travel shoes (celebrities like Brooke Shields and Gabrielle Union have also given Cariuma their seal of approval). As Cariuma's first flats-inspired silhouette, these black leather sneakers feature the sleek upper of a Mary Jane, plus the rubber sole of the brand's classic and celeb-loved Oca Low sneaker. Cariuma shoes are known for their comfort, and the Oca Lows are soft and comfy right out of the box, per shoppers and T+L editors. Needless to say, we're sure the new Mary Jane version will offer comparable comfort. That means you can take on European vacations, theme park days, and more walk-intensive trips with confidence. The Cariuma Mary Jane shoes have a pull tab at the heel, which allows you to easily slip them on, plus adjustable straps that ensure a secure fit. Compared to traditional lace-up sneakers, these shoes are so much more convenient for airport days. They're just as comfortable, but slip on and off easily at airport security or your midday hotel stop. What's more, these shoes come in four colors and prints, including leather and suede options. For versatile pairs to match any outfit, snag the sleek white or black leather options. Looking to add some pattern into your wardrobe? We also love the leopard print suede option, which features black leather accents and gold-colored hardware. Whichever you choose, you can pair the Mary Janes with jeans, dresses, skirts, or even shorts. The possibilities are endless. We've even seen them styled with white crew socks, which gives these shoes a dressed-down look. Some sizes are already sold out, so be sure to act fast if you're interested in this versatile travel shoe. Plus, keep scrolling for more comfortable, best-selling Cariuma sneakers that are perfect for summer travel. Love a great deal?
