When you buy a pair of espadrilles, you know they’ll never go out of style, because not a year goes by when they don’t quickly become one of the hardest working pieces in our summer wardrobes.
Whether you’re attending a formal affair like as summer wedding, strolling along the beach on a well-earned holiday or throwing a barbecue from the comfort of your own back garden, slip on a pair of rope-soled sliders and your outfit will get an instant boost on the style points front.
And now is a better time than ever to invest – not only is the high street awash with plenty of staple designs, there are some summer sales that have started online, meaning that you can snap up the best espadrilles on the market for a fraction of their RRP.
From luxury lines like Manebi to high street buys from the likes of M&S, Mango and H&M, and of course the iconic CASTAÑER wedges loved by duchesses Kate and Meghan, here are the styles on the top of our list for summer 2022.
