Summer is here, and if handbags are your favorite accessories, then that means only one thing – it’s time for your collection to get updated. Fortunately, the bags that appeared on the spring/summer runways for this year came in a plethora of shapes and colors, so you have a lot to choose from. That being said, I’ve teamed up with Goxip to and picked out four must-have types of bags for this season that’ll soon be seen in all fashionistas’ hands, so if you want to be on-trend this summer, check them out.
SATCHELS
These stylish and iconic bags are where convenience and style get together. The beauty of satchels is that they can be worn both casually with a pair of denim and a simple top, and while dressed up in a professional or formal attire. This ideal hybrid of smart and casual will be on most trend followers’ shoulders this summer, and their convenience is just a big plus making them this summer’s must-haves. You can put it on your shoulder in the morning and have it with you throughout the whole day and night no matter what you wear. Simply remove the chain strap and you’ve got yourself a more elegant model perfect for a night out.
Take a look at this gorgeous black Michael Kors mini satchel. It’s cool enough to be worn with jeans and a shirt, but its elegance also makes it perfect for a more dressed up attire in a formal environment. Just remove the adjustable shoulder strap and you have yourself two different bags for the price of one. If you’re interested in a larger satchel, check out this similar but bigger Michael Kors model with gold-tone hardware.
SUPERSIZED BAGS
Supersized handbags are back in style this summer. These extremely practical and functional bags are exactly what many women need this season, since fashion and functionality are always the winning combination. Not only do these bags look fabulous, but you can store all of your valuables and have them with you as you stay on-trend all day long. If you travel often or have to carry larger objects like books or a laptop with you at all times, then supersized bags, especially totes, are what you should be looking at for this season.
Check out Fendi ‘s “Runaway” leather pale pink tote. With a large space for your valuables, this ultra-chic and geometric handbag is perfect for every woman that’s on the go. Are you in the mood for something more individualistic that can be worn casually and it’s trendy at the same time? If that’s the case, you’ll love Lowe’s collaboration with Paula’s Ibiza and their extremely cute denim tote with prints. The fringed edges and beautiful patchwork is all we’ll give away, so if you’re intrigued, click here to see it.
PRETTY PASTELS
Pastels are the colors that are taking the spotlight this season, and that goes for bags as well. Pastels were seen on many spring/summer catwalks for 2018 making this color pallette one of the biggest trends for this year, especially summer time. We can see a myriad of designers having a crush on pastels when it comes to bags for this season, and no wonder! What colors better represent summer time than those of cotton candy and ice-cream? The soft, pastel-y hues especially in pink, blue, yellow, and violet are so on trend for this summer, so let’s see how that translates to bags by recommending you two of our favorite pieces.
For ultimate cuteness, this pastel pink Loeffler Randall mini tote will certainly catch your eye. As if the soft pink pastel is not enough, the ribbons tied into a bow only add to this bag’s charm and beauty. It’s small enough to carry the essentials like your phone, keys, and wallet, but big enough trend for this summer since both totes and pastels are in fashion. Are you in the mood for something a bit more serious yet stylish and dare we say sexy? The collaboration between Loewe and Paula’s Ibiza produced this unique puzzle shoulder bag with beautiful turquoise and sky-blue pastels. It’s a 2-in-1 bag since you can simply remove the shoulder strap and go hands-free.
TAN LEATHER
Another popular color and material for the summer when it comes to bags is tan leather. It doesn’t have to be real leather; as long as it’s tan, it’ll be on trend whether the leather is real or faux. The beauty of tan bags is their neutrality in both color and material. It looks good on almost any outfit, but it can also be accessorized with almost anything that you already own.
Take a look at this simple yet gorgeous Victoria Beckham ‘Vanity’ tan tote, known to be her personal favorite. It’s elegant enough to be worn with formal attire, but also cool enough to be worn with any casual outfit. The perfect bag that can be worn all day, every day, with the majority of the outfits and accessories you own, making it one of the must-have bags for this summer.
