Is your old winter bag weighing you down? A new handbag can instantly freshen up your look. When it comes to choosing a new handbag, pay close attention to the spring and summer trends; there are so many chic options! Click through these must-have trendy handbags to jump-start your search.

 

Cross-Body Bags

 

 

When it comes to accessories, some think that spending money on a quality handbag will make any outfit look more expensive. And cross-body bags are as functional as they are chic, so they’re definitely worth the investment! This spring, it’s all about bohemian and retro trends, so a saddle bag is one of the most stylish picks. One in cognac or tan is the most versatile, but we also love a bag with a good pop of color.

Trendy handbags don’t have to be neutral to be practical. Sheryl of Walk in Wonderland adds a pretty pop of color to her look with this red “Drew” bag in the same functional shape. The bold color looks good against almost any outfit.

With a more traditional saddle shape and pretty cognac leather, Julia of Gal Meets Glam‘s “Marcie” bag is the perfect trendy handbag for SS15. We love how she pairs it with other cognac accessories, like a belt and sandals.

 

Bucket Bags

 

 

Mansur Gavriel bucket bags are still hard to come by, but they did start a stampede of the silhouette to the market—in every color, material, and price point! The silhouette is sleek and functional. For example, a large bucket bag can easily replace your bulky tote, while a small bucket will be a trendy option to switch to on weekends.

Fringed Bags

 

 

Fringed accessories are must-haves for the upcoming seasons! Accessories are the quickest way to update your looks, and fringe ties into SS15’s bohemian and ’70s trends perfectly. Bottom line: a trendy, fringed handbag will be a key piece in your wardrobe this season.

Make a suede fringed bag like Sazan‘s your new everyday choice. It lends a touch of trendiness to any outfit and looks equally chic against a polished pencil skirt or flares as it does with a boho maxi dress. A fringed bag like this will be the most versatile.

More is more this season. Take a cue from The Blonde Salad to channel the maximalist trend with your statement bag. This trend is all about personal style and having fun. Instead of pairing trendy handbags with understated looks, do the opposite with printed separates or mixed prints!

An eye-catching hue on structured, trendy handbags will make an equally stylish statement. Look for one in a summery color like VivaLuxury‘s turquoise bag—that way it looks modern no matter what you pair it with.
