MA Beauty Expert: Summer Espadrilles
Saturday, June 06, 2015
Flats
Nothing’s cuter with capris than a simple pair of flat espadrilles. The rubber covering the rope bottoms make them a great choice for pier-sitting and boating. They are also terrific for ease when running about town doing Saturday errands and are far less slippery than flip flops for sudden afternoon rain showers. Look for small floral prints to add sweetness to your shorts or white jeans. Faded nautical stripes look fabulous for laid-back style at the shore and beach and are kick-off friendly in the sand. And don’t discount the flat espadrille with summer shifts or t-shirt dresses. If you self-tanned your legs these past few weeks, you’ll love the easy carefree look.
Wedges
For the office, a sophisticated wedge espadrille says you’ve elegantly embraced balmy weather. Even with lightweight suits and tailored dresses, this casual shoe is chicly appropriate for 9 to 5. Choose Maryjane straps, ankle ties, or even lace-ups – all features that highlight an alluring tanned ankle. Feet can even handle the higher wedge espadrilles because of the extra-solid built-in heel support. If you normally limit yourself to two-inchers, you’ll be delighted with the legs-to-there look you’ll get with the taller wedge espadrille.
Go-Local
For bohemian flair, choose The Mia Girl Wedge in cognac for a rich neutral that will see you through to fall. Shoe Dept. Encore, Emerald Square Mall, North Attleboro
