I’m sure we’ve all stared at Catherine, Princess of Wales in awe of her incredible wardrobe, and wished we could dress just like her.
But what if that dream could become a reality? We’ve found the ultimate dupe for one of the princess’ favourite pieces: espadrilles.
While she wears some extremely expensive clothing items, Kate Middleton has also worn pieces from affordable high street brands a fair few times.
Not only that, but many other companies have created styles that are almost identical to those worn by her, for just a fraction of the cost.
One of Catherine’s favourite casual shoe styles is the espadrille, and it’s a classic silhouette that will likely never go out of style.
In fact, many royal family members have been rocking espadrilles for years now, proving them to be a royal wardrobe staple.
Princess Diana, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Queen Letizia of Spain are just a few of many royal women who have been seen donning these shoes.
With many different variations available, including flats and heels, espadrilles are extremely versatile and can be dressed both up and down.
So, where can you find these elusive espadrilles? The answer is TOMS.
