The first whiff of summer and we’re all hitting the shops to splash some colour into our wardrobes and get beach-ready — even if we’re spending the summer in the city. Espadrilles are fantastic choice of transitional footwear. Whether you’re exploring the urban landscape, or lounging about on a beach somewhere, espadrilles will help your whole look exude that essence of holiday season it much desires.
