Williams Espadrille Wedges from Topshop

Espadrillestripe

To complete any retro look, the footwear is always of the utmost importance. That's arguably never more true than in seventies looks, an era when shoes moved from accessory to centrepiece across the era's trends. These Williams Espadrille Wedges from Topshop truly tap into that, making a statement that manages to turn heads without going over the top.

Combining a daring high wedge platform with a summery espadrille heel detailing, the shoe's mesh of textures works well with its vintage inspiration. The upper's suedette is the perfect shade of off-red, creating a warmth that offsets the nautical blue of the striped platform, and is a must for 70s colour palettes.
