When people go to shop for shoes, their chief concern is rarely textile. Instead, people consider the shape of the shoe, its color, how comfy it is or isn’t, how well it will combine with the rest of their wardrobe. Though many of us are apt to shop denim jumpsuits or leather jackets or satin dresses, our obsession with fiber fails to extend to footwear—until it gets warm outside. Spring and summer force us to acknowledge the exception to this shopping-based rule of thumb; once the sun starts shining on a near-consistent basis, we can’t get our hands on (or our feet into) woven shoes fast enough.
Something about the breezy, bohemian aesthetic of spring and summer inspires us to crave raffia, straw and rope in a way we don’t during any other time of year. Even leather, a timeless textile that tends to transcend seasonality, gets the woven treatment—finding a home in webbed flats, netted block heels and even the occasional pair of braided booties.
These textured pieces ground our light, flowy spring/summer ensembles in something earthy and ever-so-slightly edgy. Woven shoes are the necessary cherry on top of any spring/summer sartorial sundae; they’re the only thing that does our favorite sundresses, or jumpsuits, or matching sets the justice they deserve. Stock up on one pair—or a few—and you’ll surely be wearing them for months to come.
