It’s always a plus to shop on the affordable side, however, if you ask me, I find that it’s especially important to do so when buying into trends. After all, while some trends break the mold and last for season upon season (only to eventually become staples), sadly, that’s not always the case. As such, keeping it under $50 is always a safe bet for anything that’s not 100% classic or that you’re even slightly on the fence about.

So what summer bag styles are we proposing you spend (but spend conservatively) on, today? You’re about to find out and get the chance to shop them at prices we can all get behind, thanks to our very own Who What Wear Collection. From an of-the-moment print for the season to the shapes and fabrications we’re loving right now, simply continue on for the six noteworthy trends.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
