The Best Flat Espadrilles for Women

last updated 8 June 2023

Not to toot my own horn, but I definitely have a knack for identifying common themes among celebrity outfits. For instance, Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber have both taken on one particular swimwear trend. For all of you skeptics out there, no, it's not about comparing women to each other—it's about tracing the evolution of a trend from runways to celebrities to retailers and beyond.

Now, I spotted another recurrent item: flat espadrilles. Both Kate Middleton and Anna Wintour have worn the summer shoe trend, and now Lily James is hopping on board. Photographed in London, she wore an army green outfit with flat espadrilles that are available at a wide range of prices, from H&M ones to Chloé versions. Scroll down to see her outfit and shop the best flat espadrilles for women.
