When it comes to celebrity style, Jennifer Aniston is constantly on my radar. Obviously, she looks stunning when she's walking the red carpet, but girlfriend also shuts it down when she's dressed more casually in simple jeans and a T-shirt. I remember writing about Aniston's love affair with espadrilles back in 2013, and she's still wearing the comfy sandal style years later.
Aniston is particularly fond of Stuart Weitzman espadrilles. The braided pair she's been snapped wearing on several occasions is an older style only available on resale sites like TheRealReal these days. That said, you can follow in her fashionable footsteps and grab a similar pair from the same designer. Nordstrom Rack has several Stuart Weitzman styles, some up to 70% off right now.
Given that these stunners were originally $395, this sale price is a real deal. The subtle gold shown here is neutral enough to pair with just about anything in your closet. There are three other neutral colors to choose from including beige, white and light blue denim.
Don't want to drop $200 on sandals? I get it: Even on sale, Stuart Weitzman is still pretty pricey. But don't let that stop you from copying Aniston's signature shoe. Espadrilles are a great summer option because their chunky woven sole is supportive and comfortable. They're also versatile enough to pair with dresses, skirts, linen pants and more. If you like the look but need some budget-friendly alternatives, take a look below. These similar styles are all less than $70, but they're just as fab.
The color selection for these Lucky Brand sandals is really impressive. In addition to neutral white and basic black, shoppers can also snag them in light blue, yellow, red and navy. The heel is just high enough to add some height but keep these easy to walk in, and the ankle strap is adjustable so you can get a customized fit.
If you like the idea of designer footwear, then check out these Michael Kors sandals on sale for a whopping 55% off. The upper is a durable vegan leather that won't get ruined in the rain, and the slightly elevated platform sole is comfy enough to walk miles in.
"Love these shoes!" raved one fan. "They are very comfortable and versatile so you can wear them with so many things!"
If you like the look of luxe leather sandals but not the luxury prices, grab these stunners. They're made from high-quality faux leather that looks like the real thing. One shopper explained, "I love everything about this shoe. They are overall true to size, material and craftsmanship is top-notch, and they are very comfortable."
Available in eight different colors, these stylish wedge stunners have shoppers talking.
"Love these shoes. They are very comfortable as it is a platform. I've worn them twice already at work and my feet felt fabulous. Beautiful shoe, soft material, goes with jeans or a dress," one customer commented.
Another added, "Love, love, love this shoe. Perfect height and really pretty. I will order another color because you can wear them with so many things. Price is great!"
If your tootsies aren't quite ready for prime time, then you'll appreciate this closed-toe option that's on sale at Kohl's. More than 60 shoppers give it a perfect five-star rating, praising this shoe's comfort, fit and versatility.
"They’re so very comfortable and fit exactly the way I wanted them too!" one person shared.
"Absolutely perfect in every way! Love them!" another fan declared.
Looking for espadrilles that are praised just as much for their comfort as their style? Check out this pick from Dream Pairs. More than 2,500 shoppers say they're a five-star buy. One fan said, "The perfect height, the straps aren't too thick or too thin — they are just right and the stretch is great to fit perfectly around your foot and ankle without being too tight or loose. ... I might have to get every color."
Folks short on shoe storage space will be happy to know these neutral sandals complement many different summer ensembles. Whether you're wearing a flowy white dress, a printed skirt or capris, these comfy shoes will be a perfect match.
They're also available in black, and shoppers can choose from whole and half sizes 6-10.
Just like Aniston's go-to pair, these head-turning espadrilles feature a tall sole and intricate braiding on the upper. They're available in four neutral, go-with-everything colors. One happy customer raved, "I'm actually pretty shocked that these are really comfortable. I decided to take a chance on these and I’m glad I did, they are cute!"
An easy way to make all your cute summer outfits pop? Add a bright shoe! I'm loving this lime green slingback style that will look great with crisp white clothing this season.
Though these shoes may initially seem firm, one shopper says to stick with them. "These seemed stiff at first, but the sling strap and toe opening soften as you wear them. Very cute and versatile summer sandals," they noted.
