What distinguishes women's espadrilles from other footwear?

There is no denying that the way espadrilles are made, differs somewhat from the popular forms of manufacturing this part of clothing. The distinctive sole of espadrille sandals is made of braided jute, water hyacinth or other natural grasses. To increase durability, the sole is often glued with rubber. The traditional "top" of the footwear is usually natural cotton or linen canvas. Nowadays, natural leather or other materials are also used to cover espadrilles, which look aesthetically pleasing and often give them a more sophisticated look. It is also interesting to note that many people are opting for unconventional moves, combining espadrilles with a blazer or tailored pants. Such styling is not common, but if you want to make your look a little more original - you can be tempted to do it.

It is worth knowing that the traditional manufacture of women's espadrilles has given them the status of the so-called "ecological shoes". After all, there is a reason why so many people who value ecology and the good of nature choose espadrilles. The use of natural grasses and fabrics to make espadrilles supports our environment.

What to wear espadrille sandals for women?

Most often we choose this type of women's shoes for everyday styling or as a lightweight shoe to take on vacation or a social gathering. Espadrilles and a hat are almost an inseparable duo! Women's espadrilles look great in combination with casual style, but also as a comfortable addition to a beach dress. A great and almost iconic combination, in which espadrilles look phenomenal, is a styling consisting, for example, of aesthetically torn jeans, a loose cotton blouse and a small clutch bag or backpack. Such a combination is suitable for a summer walk, shopping or meeting with friends over lemonade.

Espadrilles also look great with navy style or airy dresses and skirts sewn from organic materials. They match with shorts, mini skirts or bermudas. Outerwear made of natural materials, such as linen shirts or tunics, also go well with espadrilles. An interesting addition to summer dresses are also espadrilles in a typically feminine edition - on platforms. Such a model will also work well in combination with a summer or spring suit and a denim blouse.

There are few models of shoes that will find such a wide range of applications and complement any styling in a natural and discreet way. So it is worth owning at least one pair of women's espadrilles.

Where did espadrilles come from?

The history of these shoes goes back many centuries and finds its beginning in Spain. Artisans there were engaged in the production of this lightweight and inexpensive footwear, which was intended mainly for peasants. After all, canvas and natural grasses were much cheaper than the leather needed to make even a pair of sneakers. Espadrilles covered with black fabric looked more elegant, so they were worn mainly on Sundays. Also popular were shoes lined with striped fabric, the colors of which referred to the region of Spain where the shoes were made. At one time, these shoes were a traditional part of the Catalan people's attire - the cultural equivalent of, for example, the highlander's kierpce. In later times, espadrilles were used as footwear for Spanish soldiers, mainly due to the low cost of production. These shoes were also worn by priests and even miners. Over the years, this type of footwear also gained popularity among wealthier people, and Salvador Dali or Pablo Picasso himself contributed to the spread of espadrilles. In the 1960s, these shoes were a favorite part of the closet of hippies who valued ecology and contact with nature.
