Summertime is so close I can almost taste it, and like I've said before, this is the season my laid-back style shifts into an even lower gear. My outfit choices get less and less fussy as the temperatures rise because really, who can stand to go all out in the heat? Instead, I let my accessories do the talking and experiment with fun pieces to spice up my look.
This summer, I plan to do so with my handbag choices specifically. I've noticed that the biggest summer handbag trends all have one thing in common: fun. From pastel hues to natural textures to mini bags too tiny to hold your phone, I'm already seeing the below five bag trends blowing up on Instagram, and it's not even June. Keep scrolling to see the aforementioned styles, plus shop my favorite picks from each one.
NATURAL TEXTURES
Nothing says summer like a natural bag—and this shape feels fresh.
You'll wear this every summer for years to come.
MINIS
There's a reason By Far is Instagram's favorite brand.
How good is this color?
So chic.
BAGUETTES
This beauty is on sale right now, just saying.
An investment, but worth it.
TOP-HANDLE
This guy is also on sale, if you believe in signs.
Sage is a major color trend, yet almost works as a neutral.
PASTELS
It's almost too pretty to carry—almost.
I don't think I've ever seen a prettier handbag color.
