If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that hot summer months call for minimal coverage and any excuse to show some skin. I’ve been a bit weary of cut outs in the past, but as of late, designers have taken the style to new heights, bringing a sense of elegance and effortlessness through unique shapes and designs (see above Marta Cygan wearing a beautiful Christopher Esber number). I can imagine pairing any of the below styles with a chic straw bag during the day, or some cute strappy sandals at night.
If you’re looking for a classic summertime accessory, look no further than a straw bag. We love woven bags of all types, from clutches to totes. These beach-ready bags also look chic for lunch with friends or running errands. Pair one with flat sandals and denim shorts for a relaxed weekend vibe, or dress it up with heels and a floral dress.
