for fresh and fun shoes this summer 2023, think raffia
We’re always on the lookout for a great straw, wicker or raffia handbag. And now that we think about it – a straw sun hat too. Because it’s lightweight and airy, the chic woven materials make for the perfect summer accessory. And these days you don’t need to be limited to just wide brim hats and tote bags to rock the style any longer.
Most recently the raffia trend has received a major reboot in the form of standout footwear. From chunky raffia flatforms to loafers and classic wedges, you can rock raffia shoes with everything from trousers to sundresses and in some cases, even to the office.
Raffia can even elevate the most glam of outfits too. Pair an elegant strappy straw mule with a flowy dress and clutch for a night out on the town to instantly take your look to the next level.
Ahead, find our 10 favorite palm picks perfect for your next summer ensemble.
