Princess Eugenie's Summer Date Night Shoes Are Way Sturdier Than Stilettos, My Friend

If you've been wearing black strappy stilettos or PVC heels à la Kim Kardashian on date night, look to ladies like Princess Eugenie of York or Jennifer Aniston for a welcome change. These women ground their looks — even fancier dresses! — with espadrille wedges that still provide height, but give the foot a little more stability for walking.

Princess Eugenie, who's set to marry Jack Brooksbank in October, joined her fiancé for dinner at Isabel in Mayfair wearing a striped sundress with a trusty Louis Vuitton purse and braided, ankle-wrap sandals in a neutral shade. The espadrille gave off Summer vibes, and it's versatile enough to make the transition from daytime to evening, too. Read on to zoom in on the details, then shop for plenty of similar styles we found.
