There are only so many ways you can make spring exciting. This year, consider a combination of espadrilles and linen dresses to curate a laid-back wardrobe. This will allow us to conquer the warmest time of the year, which has found its inspiration amongst the likes of Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia of Spain. If you’re someone who wishes to look a tad bit different without excessive planning or drawing attention, the sophisticated ease of this combination will come to your rescue.
The spring/summer 2025 runway trends already showed the style duo as one of the season’s protagonists. Refer to shows such as Ralph Lauren’s to acquire your dose of inspiration.
