Espadrilles are the footwear of choice for Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia during the royal family’s summer holidays in Mallorca, and a new Zara sale find priced at 15 euros could slot straight into their vacation luggage.
The sandals, currently reduced by 70 percent, come in chocolate brown, one of the most popular shades of the season. The style features a high shaft and braided material, both details that have been prominent across summer footwear this year.
The royal trio’s Mallorca looks have become a fashion fixture in their own right. Each year, Letizia, Leonor, and Sofia appear on the island in boho chic outfits built around flowing silhouettes, lightweight fabrics, bright colours that complement a tan, and summery prints. Espadrilles anchor these looks, working equally well with formal and casual options.
The style has remained a consistent presence in their vacation wardrobes over the years, balancing tradition with a contemporary feel across different designs and seasons. Leonor and Sofia’s approach to summer dressing is described as a clear inheritance of style from Letizia, with espadrilles playing a central role.
This Sunday, Queen Letizia is due to attend the closing ceremony of the Atlantida Mallorca Film Fest, after which her outfit will be analysed as it is each year.
Which espadrilles the royals will choose for this year’s trip has not yet been revealed, but the Zara pair at 15 euros is described as a smart buy for anyone building a capsule wardrobe, given that the style is expected to remain wearable for years to come.
