The Summer Flats to Wear With Skinny Jeans

Summer is quickly approaching, but that doesn't mean you have to abandon your skinny jeans (just do yourself a favor and choose a lightweight pair). However, if you want to switch up your look, we highly recommend swapping out your ankle boots for a pair of slip-on espadrilles. These summer-friendly flats were just worn by Alessandra Ambrosio in Cannes with cropped white skinny jeans, proving that you don't have to wear sandals if you want to look seasonally appropriate.
Espadrilles have been a summer staple for quite some time. And while we love the classic ankle-tie wedges paired with dresses, we find the smoking slipper–style espadrilles that Ambrosio just wore work better with skinny jeans. It's an easy, effortless combination that you'll rely on every summer weekend—trust us. Shop our favorite espadrille slip-ons below.
