Eugenia Martínez de Irujo has shared photos of her summer holiday in Cantabria wearing brown Roman sandals, a white lace skirt and a knit sweater.
The Spanish aristocrat posted videos and photographs on social media showing her bohemian styling to say goodbye to summer in northern Spain. Her thong-style Roman sandals feature a strap across the instep for extra support and are decorated with colorful beads. The handcrafted design combines classic and contemporary elements using high-quality materials.
Martínez de Irujo considers the flat footwear a timeless wardrobe basic. A few days earlier, she wore jewel sandals made in the Mediterranean with a higher wedge. Roman sandals have returned as a major trend this summer over ballet flats and flip-flops, reviving a style popular in childhood and adolescence with a relaxed aesthetic.
Greek fashion influence and celebrity trends
The Greek or Hellenic influence has been trending for several months after appearing in recent runway shows by Roberto Cavalli and Dior. The aesthetic has moved onto the street with a boho chic feel. Other celebrities including Sara Carbonero, Carmen Lomana and Victoria Federica have also worn Roman sandals this season.
Martínez de Irujo paired the footwear with a white and black two-tone openwork knit sweater. The garment features an oversize fit, a boat neckline, long wide sleeves and a wave-pattern knit design that provides color contrast. It serves as a suitcase essential for cool summer evenings in Cantabria, similar to knitwear worn in the region by influencer María Pombo.
Openwork sweater and lace skirt details
The knit sweater design is suitable for cool summer nights and for transitioning into a September wardrobe change. She combined the top with a straight-cut white lace skirt designed to stylize the figure. She has also previously selected a Spanish ruffle skirt that transformed a simple tank top for August outfits.
