Steep vs Cheap: White Espadrille Wedges
Wedges are back with a vengeance. Far removed from the idea of being unflattering and clumpy, the wedge heel has been renovated in delicious hues and textures, and they’re set to take over the throne of foot couture this season.
We’re seriously digging the smokin’ Seventies vibe a pair of espadrille wedges bring to our spring style, and we can’t wait to pair them endlessly with our entire summer wardrobe.
Enter Michael Kors’ leather espadrille wedge sandals. In this season’s coveted clinical white, they exude angelic summer style. There’s been much fuss over the versatility of wedges this season, but we love the raw edges of these espadrille wedge heels for elevating a simple outfit to heavenly heights.
Pair with straight-leg jeans and a simple blouse in a spun-sugar shade for a speedy spring update to a classic outfit – but be warned, they come with the not so holier-than-thou price tag of £440.
To ensure we don’t put a foot wrong this summer, we’ve found an equally chic and purse-friendly version by Steve Madden. The raffia platform sole and washed canvas uppers promise the same sleekness as their heavily-priced counterparts, without offending the overdraft.
