Summer is one of the most exciting months when it comes to fashion, and trends tend to become bolder and brighter, gravitating towards fun summer days in the sun. Just as the trends evolve, so do bags, and what better way to accessorize your brand spankin’ new summer wardrobe than with some colorful arm candy.
The biggest (well, figuratively speaking…) trends of the season, and the bags that’s been taking over the fashion world, are tiny in size and anything but basic, and are sure to turn heads everywhere you go. From natural to croc-embossed, and bags that’s hardly big enough to fit your phone, below you can see 4 of the biggest bag trends of the season, and also find some affordable versions which you can shop right here, right now.
The MINI Bag
Mini bags are taking over the streets and runways, and although it’s barely big enough to fit your phone, it’s one of THE biggest trends of the year. French designer, Jacquemus, kicked off Paris Fashion Week and introduced us to the Mini Le Chiquito, the It Bag that started The Mini obsession. This popular bag has sold out almost everywhere, so if you'd like to get your hands on one you better quickly click the link below. Otherwise, shop some of the other affordable mini bags we love.

The NATURAL Bag
Yes I know, natural bags ain't exactly new to the bag game, but, this summery trend is bigger than ever and luxury brands are now putting their own unique spin on it. Spanish fashion house, Loewe, created the perfect summer staple; a stylish, yet rustic-looking, carryall which can take you straight from the beach to the city. This unique basket bag has been seen on the arms of fashion bloggers all over, and it's selling out in the blink of an eye, so hurry up and click the link below to get your hands on one (If you snooze, you lose!).

The CROC-EFFECT Bag
Street style stars love this luxurious (yet affordable) trend, and I must say, it’s one of my favorite trends of the year as well! By Far has been leading the way with the croc-embossed bags, and their unique and eye-catching pastel colored bags are what summer is all about. Their mini-tote holds only the essentials (I don’t think that includes an iPhone XS…) but packs a punch with its adorable glossy green, croc-effect leather.

The BAGUETTE Bag
As seen on the arm of Rachel from Friends, and fashion queen Sarah Jessica Parker, this 90s trend was bound to make a comeback. The Fendi Baguette is the epitome of 90s cool, and is a classic bag that will easily take you from work to play, complementing your outfit in a completely understated way. If you're not prepared to splurge but would still like in on this 90s trend, shop the affordable Baguettes below.
