May might not be over yet, but after the past few days of blazing sunshine, you’d easily be forgiven for thinking we’re sitting in the height of August<\/a>. With temperatures suddenly soaring, our wardrobes have had to catch up quickly, and for me, right now, that mostly means reaching for white dresses. And, thanks to Jennifer Lopez<\/a>, I\u2019ve finally landed on the shoe trend that makes them look best.<\/p>\n

Long dismissed as a little \u201cdated\u201d, JLo<\/a> convinced me that raffia wedges are actually the perfect partner to a white summer dress<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n

I’ve always considered raffia wedges<\/a> to bring a particular, relaxed, but elevated quality to an outfit, with a slightly bohemian energy that feels especially right for summer. Compared to leather heels or wedges, they feel lighter and less formal, whilst still offering the same elegant finish. The woven texture adds softness, making them feel understated and sophisticated all at once.<\/p>\n

And whilst raffia wedges haven\u2019t exactly been at the forefront of summer shoe trends for a while, I have a feeling that\u2019s about to change. As fashion people continue to gravitate towards boho-inspired silhouettes, these are primed to become one of the season’s favourite shoes.<\/p>\n
