Temperatures are rising, this means summer is upon us! Shades of pink, pops of bright colors, espadrilles, the anonymous handbag, and understated dressing are all here for the summer season.

Investment dressing is always having a moment, but this season, it is uncontested. Continue to invest in timeless pieces looking for style and quality over logos and labels.

When it comes to color trends, shades of mocha and pink are hot as well as mixed neutrals, black and white combos, and pops of cheery colors.

Shoe capsule wardrobe summer 2025

Summer is upon on us, so I have pulled out my favorite footwear for the summer season. I am always a fan of espadrilles in the summer heat. They are made from natural fabrics and are inherently soft. Since I have plantar fasciitis, I always wear espadrilles with a wedge, this gives me natural arch support. These two pairs are perfect for the summer and supporting my feet. Love!

Fisherman sandals are hot this summer, and this pair has a block heel; again, free arch support! Love that!

In addition, Mary Janes are still hot, so if you have a pair from a previous season, you’re in luck! Pull them out and wear them. If not, this a great time to invest in a pair. They are easy to wear casually or dressy, great for the office, and the extra strap helps keep them on your feet. My pair is flat and has arch support, they are very comfortable! Love!

Handbag capsule wardrobe summer 2025

My summer handbag capsule wardrobe for the summer 2025 season is casual and carefree. I love the slouchy, effortless look of these bucket bags, and my little east/west handbag is perfect for everyday. This straw tote is a fun, beachy tote which can be customized with initials, a name, or a little phrase. Mine says “Jet Set.”

Of course, I also reach for my caramel top handle bag and belted tote often throughout the week. These are my current bags on rotation. Love them!

As we look toward the handbag trends for summer 2025, we are still seeing the anonymous handbag, east/west bags, slouchy bucket bags, belted totes, and seasonal straw handbags. Also, spending thousands of dollars on a handbag is currently out, while purchasing sensible, high-quality handbags at a reasonable price is “IN.” Your bag shouldn’t be easy to identify, and it shouldn’t break the bank. That’s the “IT” bag of 2025. Love that!
