Whenever temperatures rise in the UK, there is a pair of shoes that usually reappears in Kate Middleton’s looks as if they were part of her summer uniform: the Carina espadrilles by Castañer.
They are tan brown, have a jute wedge, closed toe and tie at the ankle with a ribbon of the same shade. In addition, they are comfortable, versatile and with that classic air that so defines the style of the Princess of Wales.
Kate Middleton’s favorite espadrilles
The first time she wore them, it was 2019 and since then she has worn them in all kinds of events, from polo matches to official outdoor visits.
Kate often pairs them with printed midi dresses, flowing skirts or even white shirts.
She prefers them with feminine silhouettes and lightweight fabrics, and therein lies part of the charm: they elevate any outfit without being overly complicated.
The model costs $195 and usually sells out fast every season. Still, there are similar options at different price points.
It’s not the first time a Kate shoe has become a trend, but the Carina’s apparently have something special.
