Espadrilles - those summer shoes with a jute sole - are back on top of fashion, and not by chance. What generations of grandmothers wore as simple, cheap summer footwear, luxury brands like Jacquemus, Dior and Chloé have turned into a symbol of Mediterranean elegance. And the best news: you don't have to pay a designer price for the same look.

The key is that espadrilles lengthen the line of the leg and go with almost everything - from a summer dress to office trousers. Stylists suggest three ways to wear them, for three completely different occasions, with the same pair of shoes.

For the evening: a chocolate-brown midi dress with a halter neckline, a gold clutch and hoop earrings. A combination that works for a romantic dinner, a cocktail party or a family celebration - polished enough, but effortless.

For a relaxed day: wide embroidered trousers, a plain white T-shirt and a vintage bag over the shoulder. This is the look for a long lunch with friends, when you want to look considered but not like you tried too hard.

For work: a waistcoat and straight trousers in plum, a brown raffia bag and sunglasses. Here the espadrilles soften the strictness of the office set and give it a summer breath. One shoe, three women - and all three look intentional, not accidental.
