Midsummer fashion slumps are real. Summer dresses are in heavy rotation in all our wardrobes, which can put even the spriteliest dressers in a fashion funk. We’ve got a solution for you—five of them, actually. We’re talking about this summer’s best handbag trends.
From soft fabric minis to pony hair totes, this season’s fleet of bags gives a fresh and exciting approach to accessorizing. Mixing a new bag (or two!) into your daily rotation will have you forgetting about summer dressing woes, making getting dressed a whole lot easier. Whether you prefer to carry around a new top handle, tuck a shoulder bag under your arm, or swing on a tote, there’s nothing better than taking a new bag out for a spin. Consider giving these five handbag trends a try for the rest of summer, below.
Soft Spoken
This summer, tote around micro bags in silks, jacquards, satins, and other pillowy fabrics.
Animal House
Zebra and cow prints are ruling on clothing; it was only a matter of time before these covetable animal prints would make their way onto summer’s hottest handbags.
Au Natural
Natural materials like canvas, linen, straw, and wood beading are an understated way to get in on the basket bag trend without going full Bo Peep.
Good Impressions
When clunky leather bags feel out of season, avoid the obvious raffia and beaded bag styles and opt for a seasonal twist on a leather bag like one with embossed croc or imprinted details.
Party Favors
From wedding parties to sunset cocktails, ’tis the season for going out, a lot. And nothing will complement your going-out top quite like a going-out clutch.
