The Lust List: Espadrilles

Espadrilles are, quite possibly, the quintessential summer shoe. Partially due to their versatility – from slide-ons to wedges, open-toed to closed – and partially due to their comfort – the natural jute or hemp bottom provides a breathable footbed – espadrilles are the go-to sandals for any summer outing, from a day at the beach to a block party in the city. Barri Budin, creative director of Madison Harding, says that “espadrilles are a classic style because they are typically casual and read as comfortable.” While espadrilles have been around for centuries (literally), this season they are increasingly common on the feet of fashionistas because, as Barri explains, the sartorial sandal pairs perfectly with the current seventies-inspired hippie trend.
