After the year we had, it's no surprise bright colors took such a hold on 2021's fashion trends. There was probably a time when I'd present you with a vibrant handbag and tell you it'd bring the perfect pop of color to any outfit, but now I'm going to show you five different bags in five very different hues and tell you to wear them with all the colors and patterns your heart desires. Do you have a pair of checkered pants begging to be paired with that bright green Gabbi bag? What about cow-print denim? It'd look amazing with the purple shoulder bag below. Keep scrolling for more colorful outfit ideas you can wear long after summer's over.

90s Shoulder Bag

This cute little 90s shoulder bag has a mint green hue that will look so good with all your linen dresses in summer and polo sweaters through fall.

Jisen

Pu Leather Shoulder Clutch

I'm obsessed with this purple slouchy shoulder bag. I want to pair it with reds, greens, and tans for months and months to come.

Dumpling Bag

Dumpling bags have such a great structure that looks even better in bright hues like this orange. I'd want to complement the shape with a ruched top and loose high-waist jeans.

JW Pei

Gabbi Bag

If you haven't already seen this bag everywhere, you're about to. Bright green is going to be a popular color this fall, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't start wearing this bag now.

Bababa

Shoulder Bag

This bag's silhouette is so sophisticated but the pale yellow makes it feel casual at the same time. Pair with pale-blue ripped jeans, a cropped cardigan, and clogs for a subtle 90s look.

Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
