Espadrilles are perfect for spring in that they are casual, but still provide the height and color of some of the bolder platform styles. Espadrilles are versatile in that they usually play up a certain trend such as bright colors or funky patterns, yet they are easy to wear every day and made for casual dresses or shorts and tees. Espadrilles also look great when paired with terry for the beach. Walking in the sand could be a challenge, so make sure to bring a spare pair of flip flops!
