“Going Global” is a fashion trend this spring. I can’t think of an easier way to look a little “worldly” than with a pair of espadrilles. The canvas and rope flat made its fashion debut in the Pyrenees back in the 14th Century. Today, most shoe companies have an espadrilles-inspired design or two in their collection. Take, for instance, Beacon Women's Newport Slip-On
TRUE TO TRADITION
While there are many new espadrilles designs this spring, you can still find the original flats with the square toe in primary colors. For this post, however, I've chosen a few of the traditional flats in bold colors and patterns.

And I love the versatility of olive...

This next shoe is the same as the espadrilles at the top of the post, but I had to share it in turquoise.

ESPADRILLES REINVENTED
Talk about deviating from the original plan! I had to show you some of the ways shoe designers have re-imagined the shoe. How about these next ones in shimmery silver? They're also available in gold.

This next style is my favorite 'espadrille reinvention.' They just look so sunny and laid back--perfect for summer weekends.
