Kate Middleton has been serving up major style inspiration for years with her timeless and sophisticated wardrobe. The Princess of Wales is known for her knack of choosing pieces that can be worn over and over again, and she’s been seen re-wearing everything from evening gowns to handbags.
One of her most frequently spotted items is her Castañer Carina Suede Wedge Espadrilles, which have been a staple in her wardrobe since 2019. Kate has sported the Toasted Brown version of these wedges at various events, from the Chelsea Flower Show to polo matches, often teaming them with midi and maxi dresses for a chic spring/summer vibe.

Priced at £145, Kate’s Carina Suede Wedge Espadrilles are a versatile choice that you can wear year after year for almost any occasion. They’re perfect for pairing with wedding guest outfits during the warmer months, or for anything from lunches to summer holidays.

While Kate usually teams her Carina Suede Wedge Espadrilles with floral midi dresses and skirts, they could also be worn with wide-leg linen trousers or even denim shorts. The luxe-looking raffia and suede make them suitable for work too, offering a stylish and comfortable alternative to high heels for the office.
These beauties boast a 3.5inch heel, making them super comfy and easy to walk in, with a self-tie fastening around the ankle for that extra touch of elegance. The round close toe is crafted from 100% suede finished leather, and they feature a subtle cut out detail at the back.

Currently, Selfridges has all sizes from 3 to 8 available, but they’re flying off the shelves, so you’ll need to act fast if you want to snag a pair. For those on a tighter budget, Selfridges also offers a slightly different version – the Castañer Carina Self-Tie Cotton Wedge Espadrilles, priced at a more affordable £110.
This lighter cream version comes with wider self tying ankle straps and a cotton canvas-style covering on the toe. If you’re after an even bigger steal, Next currently has them reduced to just £70, although sizes are very limited.
Jones Bootmaker has also joined the spring sales, slashing the price of its very similar Alyssa Wedge Espadrille Sandals from £89 to a tempting £71.20. And let’s not forget ASOS, who have launched their own ultra-affordable version, the ASOS DESIGN Tyra Closed Toe Wedges In Natural Linen, priced at a mere £30, reports the Mirror.
