Espadrille shoes have been around for centuries, first appearing in Spain and Portugal where the "esparto" rope was grown, harvested and used to make clothes and other items. These easy-wearing shoes broke out of Spain with Pablo Picasso, setting a trend for men's espadrilles which was spearheaded by John F Kennedy and Yves Saint Laurent. It took a little while for them to catch on for women, but nowadays they're a staple piece in women's wardrobes around the world! You can surely see why – their flat sole offers comfort and their breathable, slip-on design makes them a breeze to put on and take off. They're versatile too, working well with a wide range of outfits. Try them with a great pair of jeans or cropped trousers for a relaxed look, or even pair them with your beachwear and embrace the summer sun! Make sure you pack a pair of these on holiday – their lightweight and casual style makes them a must in town, not just by the pool.

Ladies' espadrilles came out of the sunny Iberian Peninsula, so it's only natural to lean towards more sun-kissed shades. These are great as part of a lighter-coloured outfit, and can easily be matched with a pastel blouse. Bright-coloured models are available too, and an assertive blue or pink can really lift any outfit. If you're style is a little more on the adventurous side, try stripes or a textured finish – these give a little more character to your feet, without any cost to comfort. Whatever design you choose, make sure you select the right size for you, favouring slightly roomier cuts to ensure continued comfort in the heat.
