The most popular bag trend this summer is simple, cheery, and strikingly affordable. (Who doesn’t love an on-trend, under-budget purchase, right?) While the straw bag may have made its debut in the realm of fashion back in the late ‘50’s and into the ‘60’s (picture: the classic accessory of sun tanners in the South of France), they have reappeared in the spotlight this summer—and don’t be surprised if you see them making some very cool appearances at night too.

You can dress up this playful accessory with wear-to-work outfits, weekend brunch ensembles, and, yes, even flowy frocks for a night out. Sure, it’s still the ultimate in bohemian style, but something about pairing it with a chic head-to-toe look adds a high level of interesting to your vibe. 

What’s most exciting about these bags (aside from their affordability) is that they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. In other words, you have limitless options when it comes to how you decide to embrace this trend. From small and structured to oversized and slouchy, we’ve identified the best styles out there all for under $100. -AZ
