A fashion editor is wearing celebrity-loved espadrille sandals for Easter, including flat, heeled, and open-toed versions. Shop Jennifer Lopez, Anne Hathaway, and Kate Middleton-inspired spring espadrille styles from Nordstrom, Amazon, and Zappos.

These are the nine espadrilles I’m eying.

Fashion is a revolving door that spits out new iterations of age-old trends; they’re too good to leave in the past, so we bring them back. Espadrilles, a Spanish-style shoe featuring a sole made of course esparto grass, fit into that category, having been around for thousands of years. Fast forward to today, and we’re still head over heels for the trend with stars like Jennifer Lopez and Anne Hathaway reaching for the chic footwear — even Kate Middleton approves of the style.    

I dress up for Easter every year, donning my best ensemble for a celebratory church service and brunch. This season, I’m opting for the timeless espadrille sandal, which will be perfect for the occasion and beyond. I’m eyeing a few different styles, including  flat, wedged, and open-toed options from brands like Sam Edelman and Franco Sarto, starting at $39.

The versatile footwear can be worn to park picnics, coffee dates, bachelorette parties, elevated dinners, and everything in between. It’s the do-it-all shoe style you didn’t know you needed, thanks to key characteristics like a canvas upper, sturdy sole, and durable straps. 

Espadrilles are not only multifaceted, but they’re extremely functional, too. The rope-like material used is lightweight and bouncy, creating a comfortable and supportive footbed. This allows you to confidently walk in your new shoes, while the breathable style keeps your feet feeling fresh.  

Castaner Carina Wedge Espadrille Sandal

Buy on Zappos $140

I have heart eyes for the Middleton-owned Castaner Carina Wedge Espadrille, which includes a closed toe, canvas upper, jute details, and ankle ribbon. The medium height is ideal for all-day walking, while the elegant style is sophisticated and ageless. I can see myself wearing these with a floral-printed maxi dress or pleated skirt.

Buy on Nordstrom $150

The Sam Edelman April Platform Sandal is also high up on my list thanks to its trendy ‘70s vibe. A thick toe strap, ankle closure, and curved wedge heel create a funky look that’s sure to make a statement. It’s available in five colors, though the sorbet orange screams spring.       

Minnetonka Prima Espadrille Sandal

Buy on Nordstrom $50

But you don’t have to opt for a soaring tall version to lock in the style. The Minnetonka Prima Espadrille Sandal ditches the height and boasts frayed seams, a cushioned footbed, toe cap, and prominent stitching. The striped print elicits memories of beach days and vacations, while the effortless bohemian design pairs well with shorts, skirts, and tees.   

No matter which shoe you opt for, espadrilles can be dressed up or down. Make them casual with a wide-leg jumpsuit, elevate the shoes with a tiered cotton midi dress, or wear them to work alongside trousers and a twill jacket. They’re uncomplicated and great for sporting all spring and summer long.
