There is nothing quite like styling a new bag with outfits. I never used to be a purse girl, but I find them super convenient now. Not only do they hold everything I need, they also help elevate any outfit.

Basics are always trendy, and a cute bag makes the perfect accessory. I also like shopping for bags that serve multiple different purposes; I can dress them up or down and wear them in different occasions. 

Here are six bags that I found on Amazon that you need for this summer! 

Soft Volume Top Handle Bag

This handbag is only $39 from Amazon. It comes in multiple different colors and is the perfect size to carry everything you need. It can be used to add a fancier touch to any basic outfit, or the perfect bag to bring to dressier events.

This bag has a handle and is the perfect bright color for summer. This green color (ultramarine) is in and here to stay! 

Triple Zip Small Crossbody Bag

This handbag comes in multiple different colors and is only $20. Crossbody bags are super convenient — you don’t need to hold the bag on your arms or hands but it can still carry around everything you need.

The neon pink is perfect to spice up a summer outfit. The straps on this bag are also adjustable, so you can make it a handbag if crossbodies aren’t your thing. 

Hand-woven Straw Small Hobo Bag

Straw bags are still in! This handbag is only $24 and is my favorite pick from this list.

This bag is so summer and can go with any outfit. This bag can also be used for multiple things; a cute beach bag or a dinner bag!

It is the perfect size and it holds more than just your essentials. There are also hundreds of five-star reviews about this bag on Amazon, making it a safe staple for your summer wardrobe.

Top handle Crossbody Bag 

While this hand bag is a tad more pricey at $65, it is worth every dollar. This is a very classy handbag, and it is the perfect piece for special occasions.

This beige color pairs well with any outfit, but it also comes in black and a seaglass blue. Less is more nowadays and this bag is the perfect example.

Leather Woven HandBag

This handbag is on the smaller side, but it has a big personality. I would use this as a staple piece, and it’s the perfect bag to use when you want to spice up an outfit.

This handbag is only $35, yet it looks very high-end. White bags do get dirtier faster, but this this bag will make your outfit pop

Hand-woven Straw Shoulder Tote 

This is a bag that’s on the casual side. If you are going to the beach or pool and need a bag, this should be your go-to. You can also use this bag for a more casual dinner!

This bag has lots of room for extra swimsuits, sunscreen and books. This bag is priced at only $28 and can be used for multiple occasions.

The weather is starting to get nice meaning summer is right around the corner! Get on top of these bags now so that you are prepared for when the time comes and while they are in stock!
