This is a fabulous time to be alive when it comes to handbags. Since craftsmanship is in, and logos are out, many IT bags are priced well under $1000. In fact, many handbags right now are priced under $500 and offer better quality than the logo bags. Love that!
As we move into the summer season, continue to look for east/west bags, slouchy buckets, suede, neutral hues, belted totes, hobo handbags, shoulder bags, natural fibers, and straw. This is a great time to invest because IT bags are affordable! Love!

What is your favorite handbag style this summer season?
The handbag trends for summer 2025 are building on the already important handbag trend which transcends all trends; there is not an IT bag.
That’s right! As we speak, there is no specific IT bag, therefore, when it comes to handbag trends, they center on investment dressing and seasonal taste. Love that!
What’s seasonal taste you ask? So glad you asked! Seasonal taste incorporates handbag styles which fit into warm weather and play well with our beachy, vacation vibes. So, let’s start with the handbag trend which makes an appearance every summer season, straw!
Straw is hot every summer season, as well as natural fibers. Any handbag that is woven with natural fibers, or made from straw, is hot this summer. So, if you have a straw tote from a previous year, pull it out and rock it now! If not, invest in a fabulous straw tote which will be relevant every single year. This beautiful basket tote priced under $1000, or this customizable straw tote priced under $500, will fit the bill. They are staples in designer/brand collections and offer a timeless vibe. They both make great investments which won’t break the bank. Love that!
Neural hues are hot this summer season. Look for shades of mocha, caramel, and black. If it’s a classic color, it’s hot right now; and it’s an investment bag. Love!
The east/west silhouette is still hot. Keep wearing your east/west bags and invest in new ones!
Suede is still the hottest fabrication around. So be sure to wear soft and slouchy suede bags. If you haven’t already invested in one, this is a great handbag to buy this season. You will be able to wear it for seasons to come.
The slouchy bucket bag and the hobo are still hot. Keep wearing your hobos and slouchy buckets, they are hotter than hot for summer 2025 and beyond.
Lastly, the belted tote continues to be the ultimate structured, and slouchy, tote. Your belted tote can be anywhere from stiff, to slouchy and falling down. As long as it’s belted, it’s hotter than hot. The belted tote makes the perfect work tote, beach tote, and anytime tote. Love that!
Also, remember the current handbag golden rule: logos are bad, anonymous is good.
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!
