Espadrilles for men - it's stylish!

I bet a few men know what espadrilles are. It is quite a courageous word, it evokes associations with a squadron, a mantilla and hot Spain. In fact, men's espadrilles are slippers. This word denotes a light closed cloth shoes on a rope sole.

Espadrilles appeared in the thirteenth century. They wove from the jute ropes poor Spanish peasants, covering the top of the shoes with a canvas or woven cloth. In such shoes it was convenient to walk both on the deck of the boat, and along the dusty roads of the Spanish villages. Since then, this footwear has not lost popularity either in its home country or around the world where it spread, thanks to the famous couturier Yves Saint Laurent, who in the 60s of the twentieth century shod with these light slippers of his models on the podium.

Distinction

This footwear does not distinguish by gender. Espadrilles masculine and feminine differ mainly in color only, but perhaps in recent years, female models have acquired heels and platforms. Their dedicated fans were Salvador Dali and Ernest Hemingway. And the Spanish fashion designer Manolo Blanik started his career at all, decorating espadrilles with shells and stones for his parents' store.

How do the espadrilles look male? The photos, which can be found in the catalogs of shoe stores, show that this closed footwear will be a worthy alternative to sneakers and sneakers for the summer period. Unlike them, the rope sole and the woven top of such shoes allow the foot to breathe air constantly. In addition, in their style espadrilli men do not require socks.

On the other hand, their advantage over slates, sandals and flip flops is that the foot is closed, which means that they can be worn with the clothes for which open summer shoes do not fit.

With what to wear espadrilles?

This is the least fancy footwear in terms of choosing a suit. Perhaps, it will be bad to look only with classical clothes and strict suits. Otherwise, the requirement for a wardrobe suitable for these shoes - it must be summer. And whether it will be light jeans, linen or cotton trousers, sports pants or shorts of all kinds of colors and patterns - the choice is huge. Accordingly, bright summer shirts, and comfortable cotton T-shirts, and all sorts of multi-colored T-shirts are suitable for esprydlets. But the tie is better not to combine with them even in the most insane stylistic variants of the wardrobe.

Among other things, Espadrilles, whether male or female, are the most unpretentious in their care. To be afraid of them costs only a heavy downpour - and that is because the rubberized rope sole has the property of absorbing moisture well. Clean them with a soft brush, as neat as possible, so as not to untwist the ropes from which the sole is woven.

This kind of cheap and comfortable shoes gave us a sunny Spain. And I hope that after reading this article, many men will take care that in their wardrobe for the next season there are cute, light and comfortable espadrilles.
