The summer season often presents a bit of a fashion dilemma when it comes to footwear. Sandals might seem too laid-back, but the soaring temperatures usually rule out loafers or heels as well. While ballet flats are currently a top trend, if you’re looking to mix things up a bit, espadrille Mary Janes could be just the ticket.
Ralph Lauren’s Canvas Mary Jane Espadrilles are a fabulous option, offering a stylish and sophisticated look while still being summery and comfy. However, if their £319 price tag is a bit steep for your liking, don’t worry, because we’ve found a very similar pair at Crew Clothing for a much more wallet-friendly price.

Priced at £65, the Mary Jane Espadrilles will save you £254 and offer the same airy and chic aesthetic as the designer pair. Available in both red and navy blue, these shoes cleverly blend the best features of espadrilles and classic Mary Janes.
They boast an authentic flat sole with woven jute trim, a rounded toe, and a single strap fastening over the arches. The fastening is fully adjustable with a buckle closure, ensuring a perfect fit, and the flat flexible sole means they’re comfortable enough to wear all day – even during a lengthy commute.

The upper is crafted from a soft, breathable canvas-style material, while the outer soles are rubber, providing ample grip and security. They can be effortlessly styled with everything from jeans and a T-shirt to midi dresses and wide-leg trousers, making them a fantastic versatile addition to your wardrobe.
Proving to be a popular style for summer, numerous other brands have also launched their own versions. Anthropologie has introduced its Maeve Mary Jane Espadrille Flats, priced at £120, which feature a chunkier flatform sole for some added height.
Meanwhile, the Oasis Mary Jane Espadrilles from Free People are a brilliant choice if you’re after more colour options, offering them in mauve, black, blue, yellow and red for £98. For a slightly different spin, Charles and Keith’s £59 Faux Suede Slip-On Mary Jane Espadrilles are made from faux suede, rather than canvas, and boast a slip-on mule-style design for extra breeziness and comfort.
However, if you’re keen to get your hands on Crew Clothing’s Mary Jane Espadrilles, they’re still available in all sizes from 4 to 8, with only size 3s currently out of stock, reports the Mirror.
