Raffia sandals are one of the most versatile shoes for spring and summer. Initially, they have this natural vibe, so they pair beautifully with linen pieces for a relaxed, boho-chic, or beachy look. But raffia is such a captivating material, that its natural look is welcome from girly to minimal-chic outfits. All you have to do is find the right color combination to go with your mood. So, in this post, you’ll find the most coveted raffia sandals for this spring and summer.

As usual, there are so many different options that I find it hard to choose one. But that’s because my style shifts with my mood and since we started The Mood Guide I feel more connected to myself and more open to how fashion and decor affect and are affected by my moods and phases. And I love it!
I was 100% minimal-chic for many years, particularly when I was in the corporation. Because of how most people react to my skin color, I felt that I had to “neutralize” that and look as elegant, chic, and sober as possible. So, for years I only wore white, black, beige, and muted blue. It took me years after leaving this environment and changing my mindset to understand what I like. And I’m still in the process.
What about you? Do you have your signature style or you’re on a soul quest like me? What’s your mood for raffia sandals this year?
