Summer Fashion Fave – Charming Straw Bags

Whether you wear it to the beach, the farmers market, or to dinner, a straw bag is a summer classic!

Spring and summer fashion is so fun! Breezy tops, flirty sundresses, sandals (with bright pedicures!), white jeans, cut-offs, and straw bags. Is there any bag that screams summer more than this one?!

Via We the People.

Larger ones are great as totes to the beach or on vacation. Made from raffia or straw, they are lightweight and can hold a lot.

In fact, the straw bag originated in France. Women would take large woven straw bags to the farmer’s markets to load up with fresh fruits and vegetables. Leave it to the French to make even going to the market fashionable!

They are stylish and practical, and utterly charming!

Whether trekking to the beach, the park, or of course, the farmer’s market, they’re perfect for holding all your necessities.

 

 

I love the quirky shape of this one! Via Lucy Williams.

 

But I also love unique smaller ones for everyday in the summer. They can work day or night, and can easily upgrade a more simple outfit.

Or use a small, charming straw bag for a casually elegant summer evening look. A straw clutch is also another way to go as it’s perfect for any event and can take you all the way through spring and summer.

 

 

So chic! Via Vienna Wedekind.

 

There are lots of bags out there, at every price point!

I have a couple of different straw bags, in different sizes, and depending on the day, I switch them out.

The J.Crew tote is a personal favorite in the larger category, as are all the market bags at Sézane.

But there are so many cute ones, it’s hard to resist! Which is why I now have quite a few. 🙂 

It’s fun to add to the collection each year, but if you want to limit it, I would say go with one larger, classic market tote and then one smaller, charming bag you can use for going out day or night.
