Espadrille Team

The espadrille, footwear that originated in the Pyrenees sometime in the 14th century, are notable for their soles generally made of jute rope. Light on the feet and easy to slip on, espadrilles make the perfect summer shoe since they readily transition from casual to dressier occasions. Here are five of our favorites from this season (clockwise, from upper left):
