BAF Weekly IT List

Prints, cool nail polish, and the anonymous handbag are hotter than hot this summer season. Nail polish in oceanic hues are flying off store shelves and many seasonal colors will sell out. If you see a nail polish color for summer you love, don’t wait to purchase it. Brands aren’t keeping large inventories of seasonal colors; they are selling out! Summer 2026 is a fabulous season in nail polish. The colors and the neutrals are amazing, I am in love!

After years of solid neutral clothing, prints are hot this season! I love prints on tee’s skirts, and dresses. Be sure to add at least one print to your summer capsule wardrobe this year!

Shoe capsule wardrobe summer 2026

Touches of gold, woven leather, edgy studs, and comfort thrown in; I’m loving this summer shoe capsule wardrobe!

Woven leather is still huge for the summer season, and edgy details such as studs are making a move to knock woven leather off it’s “IT shoe” pedestal. In addition, western style boots are hot for events when you need comfort and the ability to walk. Touches of gold are also hot this summer season and will continue into the fall season. Love that!

Summer handbag capsule wardrobe 2026

The summer 2026 season is all about classic handbags, the anonymous handbag, vintage IT bags, natural fibers, and some utility. Ultra tiny bags that cannot fit a phone are not a thing this season. Love that!

The runways gave us a throwback to huge, oversize bags. While they are not quite here for the summer season, watch for big bags in the fall. So right now, continue to wear small and medium bags which can hold everything you need on a daily basis.

Logos are so far out, no one can even see them anymore. Steer clear of logo prints and giant, “in your face,” logos. Continue to invest in beautiful handbags which showcase quality and style rather than brand. This is also a fabulous look for your bank account.

Natural fibers are hot again this summer season. Look for straw bags and classic canvas totes. The small canvas tote featured above can be customized with your initials or name. It also comes in various sizes. I have a medium version which makes the perfect summer tote bag. In addition to canvas totes, this straw tote can have your initials, your name, or a fun saying printed on it. Mine says “Jet Set.”
