When it comes to dressing for summer, that’s my Super Bowl. Winter is all about bundling up, hiding under layers, and simply trying to survive, so when temperatures rise and hemlines shorten, I look forward to having a little more fun with fashion. It’s the season for accessorizing bikinis, breezy shorts, and flowy dresses—but when the heat is at its peak, practicality matters, too. I like having a trusty handbag on me to carry all my essentials (even if it’s just a single lip gloss some days), no matter what’s on the agenda. Think of it as my emotional support system—and the final piece that pulls the whole outfit together.
As a fashion writer, I’m constantly keeping an eye on the latest trends. And as a handbag enthusiast, I’m more than happy to put them to the test in my own wardrobe. This season, there’s a standout style for every occasion, from raffia bags for PTO days and East-West silhouettes for nights out to elongated clutches for weddings and special events. Better yet, most of these trends feel timeless enough to wear long after summer ends.
