Espadrilles Rundown
Love or hate them, espadrilles will be everywhere this Summer, so you'd better get used to them. Everyone from Marc Jacobs to Go Jane have picked up on the trend for rope-soled wedges. Before you pass them by, think about the practicality of these Summer staples. The wedge gives you height and slims the legs, but there's more support for the foot than with a heel, making them much more comfortable. Wear them with shorts (if you've got the legs), or floaty Summer dresses and skirts, butdon't attempt to smarten them up. These are definitely a hot weather, holiday trend. We've picked ten of our favourites, from classic styles to crazy designer interpretations, so hopefully you'll like at least one of them....
