Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Caribbean tour wrapped up last week, and throughout the entire trip, Middleton gave us some major summer fashion inspiration. From smocked sundresses to flattering shorts, The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in several styles we can’t wait to add to our warm-weather wardrobes. One item we loved, in particular, was the white espadrille flats she wore in Belize.
Middleton accessorized her floral Tory Burch dress with a pair of Stella McCartney espadrilles that are equal parts fashionable and functional. The flat silhouette made it easy for Kate to explore a beach town in Belize, while the raffia embellishments and white color gave them an elegant feel.

Along with a textured sole that provides excellent traction, the espadrilles also have a canvas upper that shoppers say feels very soft on their feet. The slip-on style makes them a great option to wear on travel days, as you can easily take them on and off at airport security. The lightweight shoes are so comfortable, owners even say they " them with no issues" context=“body” sid=""/]."
Reviewers also love how versatile the flats are. One said, “they go with so many outfits.” While another wrote, “they go with everything and feel good all day,” before adding, “they are more elevated than a sneaker but look great with activewear, athleisure, jeans, and shorts.” Sizes range from 5 to 11, and the flats come in six different colors — including a white pair just like Middleton’s.
