Do you need a holiday shoe that’s not the ever-predictable sandals or flip flops? Something that’s durable and comfortable, as well as being light on the bank balance. Well, the answer to your prayers is the unsung hero of informal summer vacation footwear, the espadrilles. They are basically light, breathable, canvas or cotton shoes with a soft sole and a jute braided rope all around the edge. They were originally worn by the peasant class but over the years have evolved into a fashion icon worn by both the genders. Thus, this summer, pack them for your relaxing cruise trip and experience the ultimate comfort weds style vibes!
By the pool
Spending considerable time by the deck’s pool is one of the must-dos on a cruise vacation and doing it in style is our dude’s speciality. Consider going for a striped crew neck t-shirt and blue denim shorts for that easy laidback look by the pool. You can also switch the t-shirt with a printed tank for a more tropical feel. Go nautical in those blue and white striped espadrilles and send out sea vibes in style. Accessorize with a suede belt and a summer hat and you are all set to lounge by the pool.
Dinner date do’s
Dinner dates can crop up anywhere anytime and you should be ready for it! When you get a dinner date on the cruise, try going for a dark grey long sleeved shirt with a pair of tan chinos for that smart suave look. You can also add on a printed bow-tie for that quirky touch that elevates the look further. Try on a nice, textured pair of espadrilles for a more relaxed aesthetic. And completed with your million dollar smile, your date is going to be swept off the deck!
Party scenes
Well, no holiday suitcase is complete without an outfit kept for party emergencies and it gives you the best opportunity to let all those eyes on the deck to be fixated on you. Stand out among other stylish party goers in a gingham blazer jacket paired with V-neck t-shirt and black skinny jeans. For a more relaxed take on the party look, add a pair of lace up espadrilles that’s going to provide total comfort for you to show your groovy dance moves all night.
Dapper during the day
For a smart and casual day look, try going for a polo t-shirt in bright shades or pastel hues and pair it with khaki casual pants. You can also replace the polo t-shirt with a basic V-neck tee or a blue denim shirt. Complete the trendy and easy going look with a pair of printed espadrilles that complement it perfectly. For brownie points, choose a nice cool pair of reflector sunnies and you are all set to rock the deck even in daytime.
So, in order to have a fun-packed, style-dripping cruise vacation, you need to update your summer wardrobe with espadrilles ASAP. They are as important as the cruise tickets itself and be all set to rock this summer shoe trend on point.
