3 Styles at Work: How to Wear Lié Studio’s Raffia Tote

An essential isn’t essential unless it’s versatile. It should pull its weight, appeal to any personality, and fit in seamlessly with various aesthetics. To put this theory to the test, we’ve asked three Vogue editors to style the same piece, each in their own way.

The raffia tote has long been a summer staple—but Lié Studio is making the case for a year-round use. The woven material brings an ease and softness to your look while the structured silhouette allows it to function as a daily carryall, taking you from early morning meetings to late-night dinners without missing a beat. Editors are quick to swap out their leather bags for this lighter alternative as soon as the weather warms up, and celebrities are on board, too–Zoë Kravitz, for one, regularly sports hers with trench coats and other transitional pieces, proving the raffia tote is an accessory that transcends seasons. Below, see how each editor styled theirs for right now, from Lié Studio.

Mai Morsch, fashion editor

“A raffia tote, like this one from Lié Studio, is the perfect multi-purpose bag for spring and summer. Take it to the office, out for drinks, or down to the beach. The chocolate brown colorway is an elevated twist on natural raffia—still a neutral that goes with everything, but a little more unexpected. It’s one I’ll be reaching for again and again in the months ahead.”

Megan Rodrigues, assistant fashion editor

“It hasn’t quite felt like summer in NYC yet, so I’m manifesting blue skies and sunny days with this raffia tote. Perfect for a tropical getaway or just a leisurely stroll through the city, it somehow fits everything (ideal for those of us who carry our entire lives around), while still feeling lightweight and polished.”

Taylor Lashley, senior manager social media

“With summer around the corner, I’m excited to bring raffia bags back into my rotation. For the office you can never go wrong with a great pair of black trousers, and here I’ve styled them with simple sandals to give the look a lighter, more effortless feel. A raffia bag and breezy linen top add the perfect warm-weather touch, creating an outfit that transitions seamlessly from the 9-to-5 to after-hours plans all season long.”

The silk printed scarf is having its moment—the spring/summer 2026 runways made the case, and our editors are fully convinced. From Kallmeyer’s oversized striped scarves to the ease of Dries Van Noten’s pareos, the message was clear: this isn’t just a throw-on accessory, it should be the focal point of your look. Go bold with saturated hues and graphic prints, or let a neutral tone do the quiet work. Either way, their versatility is endless. It’s the difference between wearing clothes and building a look. See how each editor styled theirs, below.

Maddy Fass, fashion market director

“I’m always a fan of a dress over pants so I was captivated by the styling in Julian Klausner’s debut mens show for Dries Van Noten SS26. Multicolored printed sarongs were effortlessly tied and swished over relaxed trousers, topped with tailored blazers, and grounded with the ease and casualness of the classic flip-flop. I was instantly interested in recreating the formula for myself and the spring-to-summer transition we’re in now is really the most opportune time.”

Irene Kim, production and editorial associate

“One of my favorite summer styling hacks is tying a silk scarf or bandana around my hair. Not only does it help me prolong my hair wash days for a bit but it also adds a nice colorful touch to my outfits since my spring and summer wardrobe mostly consists of billowy white blouses from Dôen and a pair of blue jeans!”

Minty Mellon, shopping market editor

“A printed silk scarf is the gift that keeps on giving. Kallmeyer’s striped iteration feels chic and effortless when draped around the shoulders, but the possibilities are endless. Tie it as a headscarf, wear it over a pair of tailored trousers, or knot around your bag as an accessory for your accessories! It’s a subtle detail that elevates any outfit.”

This spring, classic denim has gotten a considered upgrade. Imagined in earthy tones—beige, brown, and everything in-between—the new hue feels like a quiet reset. Already adopted by celebrities and editors alike (Zoë Kravitz was recently spotted wearing a pair strolling through New York City), the neutral tone slips seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. Editors are turning to Mother, Citizens of Humanity, and Ossou to anchor their looks against an otherwise airy spring palette. The tone proves its versatility, effortlessly paired with tonal browns, playful pops of color, or a classic white tee. Could this be your new go-to denim style?

Talia Abbas, shopping director

“I could easily run through all the tiny details that make Ossou’s jeans special, but what keeps me coming back for more is what drew me in in the first place—the wash. The earthy brown shade is as versatile as any blue jean, pairing well with both neutrals and brights, but feels more considered on. You can tell a lot of care and thought have put into the construction, too—from the sharp front creases to the jewel-like button and zip closures.”

Nicole Martini, associate fashion editor

“The denim you need for a perfectly balanced fit – high-rise and straight through the leg, with just enough structure to feel polished without being stiff. Brown denim breaks you out of the blue-jean autopilot; it’s unexpected but still neutral, so your outfit feels intentional without getting complicated.”

Andrea, shopping market editor

“Colored denim is back! The way I am easing into this trend is with a muted pair from Citizens of Humanity. I styled them with a classic striped button-down, and accessorized it with a floral brooch and punchy red sandals.”

At Vogue, everyone has a distinct point of view, but each editor was drawn to Comme Si’s crimson shirt to kick off the series. Over the last few seasons, red has steadily taken over the runways and street style, offering an easy way to punch up an outfit with a bold flash of color. Worn as a shirt, thrown effortless over a matching set, or tied at the waist, it proves its ability to be more than one thing. See how each editor made it their own.

Libby Page, executive shopping director

“For someone that rarely wears color, a crisp red shirt has become a staple for me to inject some vibrancy into my wardrobe. Always paired with black, of course, and sometimes khaki or taupe to add interest.”

Naomi Elizée, fashion market director

“I love how versatile this Comme Si top is. I can wear it as intended or knot it at the waist as a little styling trick to make the whole look more interesting.”

Alexandra Hildreth, fashion news writer

“I normally don’t wear bright colors, as everyone in the office jokingly knows, but I really liked the subtle sheen to the Comme Si shirt. The material made it feel more like a neutral rather than something glaringly bright, and so I styled it like I would have any other black, gray, or white—casually and open over my usual monochrome outfit for a brisk spring day.”
