Summer is right around the corner and we’re all on the hunt for the perfect summer accessory, and nothing is more exciting than a summer bag. Straw, beaded, mesh, canvas, crochet—the textures of the season will be your go-tos for all of the exciting days and nights ahead. 

No matter what the warm months have in store for you, there’s a 2022 bag trend that will fit seamlessly into your plans. Headed to an exotic summer destination? Opt for a crochet style to really bring the vacay vibes to life (Instagram OOTD-ready). Have summer hikes in your future? A mesh sling bag could be your new summer bestie. 

Be warned: These bags are so good, you aren’t going to be able to stop reaching for them. Run, don’t walk—you’re gonna love these.

Translucent

There’s nothing to hide with this summer bag trend. We love the easiness that a clear bag gives, and it allows for all your fun sunglasses and summer essentials (like SPF!) to really get the attention. If you want your belongings to be less obvious, toss them into a pouch to disguise them.
