The right handbag can really complete your outfit, and it’s safe to say that this upcoming summer we are lucking out with the trends! Wondering what’s in style? Let’s get into the summer 2019 bag trends you need to know about!

Belt Bags

These may look like reinvented fanny packs but that’s because… they basically are.

You can wear belt bags through your belt loops, as the name suggests, or on top just like a fanny pack. These bags actually go with everything including more formal outfits, like Khloe’s blazer dress.

Give one of these a try this summer for an easy bag you can throw small items, like your keys and phone, in! Less is more when it comes to hauling stuff around, tbh.

Circular

Circle Bags: brown fringe circle bag, large black circle bag, straw circle bag, quilted round crossbody, rainbow straw circle bag, beaded circle bag

The circle shape of these bags sets them apart from boxier or typical square shaped bags that are so common.

These bags, especially the straw ones, are so cute for summer. You can find them in a variety of patterns to make your look even more unique. Pair them with everything from dresses and sandals to jumpsuits and heels.

Netted

Netted Bags: purple beach bag, red handbag, netted shopper bag, braided net bag, yellow handbag, green fringe bag

If these netted bags look like perfect beach bags, you’re not wrong! These bags scream “summer!”

Not only do these bags pair great with swim outfits, but they can also be worn with your everyday casual looks. If you prefer a little more coverage in your bag, try one with a liner like the bag on the top right.

Plastic

Summer 2019 bag trends -- Clear bags: Cream crossbody, white boxy crossbody, clear handbag, blue transparent crossbody, clear backpack, clear bucket bag

From left to right: Cream Clear Crossbody Bag – Asos, White Box Crossbody Bag – DSW, Beaded Clear Clutch Bag – Asos, Blue Transparent Shoulder Bag – DSW, Pink Clear Mini Backpack – Urban Outfitters, Clear Bucket Tote – Forever 21

These clear, plastic bags are so cool but they are also extremely practical. Did you know that the majority of stadiums only allow you to bring in clear bags now?

You’ll probably need one of these bags in the future, so you might as well get one now while there are so many cute ones to choose from!
