What is a must have Summer bag? For me it’s a bag that will add a stylish note to any of my simple & effortless outfits and hold everything I need for my day.
Apart from the obvious ones, I want it to be timeless too. And for my Summer nights? It’s the perfect excuse to bring out fun, colorful or sparkly pieces that collect dust when it’s cold outside.
I’m adding all my favorite pieces from the season, along with some tried and tested gems. They all look amazing not only for this Summer but any other Summer as well.
Excited to see the best bag picks? Let’s go!
Must Have Summer Bags
Big & Medium Summer Bags To Fit Everything In
I love big and medium sized bags as much as I love tiny ones that just add style.
But especially for Summer, owning a bigger bag is a must. You never know when you’ll need your SPF, a face mist to freshen up during the hot hours or your water bottle. Not to mention all the beauty bits, right?
And if you are on the motherhood side then you need even more space. My top choice is a big woven leather tote specifically this one from Dragon Diffusion. I can’t even tell you how good it is. I can go from work to the beach and from Summer to Winter with just one bag.
Plus, it’s the only bag that takes all the compliments wherever I go. I guess simplicity and good quality always win.
Opt for a size that suits you and for a sturdy shape that will last for years.
Here are all my wishlist choices!
Small & Stylish Bags For Just The Essentials
You know that “grab and go” feeling?
I always get that when I think about small but super exciting bags. You can’t easily wear them during Winter because of all the layers and heavy coats that don’t allow for that hands-free under the arm hold, but you can go all-in in Summer time.
The tiny tank tops and linen dresses look fab with a small bag in your hand or arm. And it’s the easiest way to go crazy with a pop of color as well -even if you are a neutral lover.
Sorry, but they’re too cute not to have them in your collection and you can effortlessly go from day to night. Simple classic shapes will last for many seasons to come!
Must Have Mini Bags For Summer Nights
Last but not least on my “must have Summer bags” list are the night appropriate ones. When I’m thinking about sparkly little pieces it’s enough for me to start dreaming of summery dinners by the sea and strolling around the streets of a greek island.
Summer mini bags for nights out are perfect for going all out and trying the most stand out materials, finishes and innovative designs.
Who can beat a simple neutral dress with a colorful mini bag? Or a “dark denim shorts & white t-shirt” combo paired with a metallic bag? SO good!
The best way to add fun to any outfit!
Before I leave you to check out all these amazing bags I have a last tip. We all know that Summer has a crazy amount of major sales going on.
And while this is exciting, try to keep things minimal! Stay calm and just buy the bags that will truly add value to your wardrobe; not everything that shines just because it’s shining!
Now your turn. What’s your favorite piece?
