Last year's shoe of choice was the espadrille, hands down. And this season fashion is making a repeat pick, but adding some fresh details. Worn best with just about anything, the espadrille is the epitome of cool, effortless casual chic that takes your outfit from day to night. Designers have amped up the selection by adding everything from way-high wedges, woven rope that covers the ankle, and flat closed-toes. Strong spring 2011 trends are even marrying the espadrille with printed canvas uppers. The cropped pant of spring's lineup, along with bold printed maxi-dresses will also be perfectly worn with a smashing espadrille on the foot. Check out the familiar favorites plus original new-comers with our expanded salute to jute.
