Espadrilles with wedges - a summer must-have in the French Chic style

Wedge espadrilles are the favorite summer shoes of French women. They are comfortable, stable and match any dress. We show you how to wear and tie them to slim your legs.

A summer classic in French style

Wedge espadrilles are shoes that come back into favor every year with the first rays of sunlight. They were made famous by French and Spanish women who value the combination of elegance and comfort. How do they differ from regular sandals and why are they worth having in your summer wardrobe?

Comfort and style - the secret is in the sole

The key element of these shoes is a sole made of braided string (jute) and a tie around the ankle (often with a ribbon). The wedge provides stability and comfort that thin high heels lack, and at the same time adds a few centimeters of height and slims the calf. These shoes are perfect for holiday walks, dates and summer parties.

Styling with espadrilles – dresses and more

What to wear with wedge espadrilles? They look best with summer dresses - from mini, through midi, to maxi. They go perfectly with linen, viscose and denim. They also match shorts and overalls. Avoid combining them with very formal office clothes - these are casual and holiday shoes.

What color should I choose?

The most universal models are beige, black or navy blue. If you want to optically lengthen your legs, choose beige espadrilles that will blend in with your skin color (or tan). Remember that tying around the ankle may shorten the leg, so short people should be careful with ribbons that are too wide.

Summary – a must-have for the summer

Wedge espadrilles are the quintessence of summer. They are light, feminine and extremely comfortable. These are shoes that will take you to the French Riviera, even if you spend your summer in the city. This is an investment that will definitely pay off, because this model never goes out of fashion.
