Casual summer outfits are king right now! This cute and flattering dress, priced under $50, is perfect for summer! It looks fabulous with sandals or sneakers for casual daytime looks. It can also be dressed up at night with dressier sandals or wedge espadrilles. I purchased three of these dresses; in blue, black, and stripes. If you are looking for a great summer dress that won’t break the bank, this is the one! I love it!
Nothing refreshes one’s closet like a fabulous handbag. Look for a straw tote, fabulous mini bag, or a statement making pouch. Love!
I am loving sneakers right now, and you are too! Dunk’s are a popular sneaker since they come in so many colors and offer good arch support. If you are like me and need a shoe with good arches, this is great sneaker to look for! This olive green and white pair looks great with neutral hues, denim, and summer looks. Love!
The summer 2022 handbag trends are in full swing, and thankfully we have a lot of these bags in our closets! There aren’t any surprises for the summer season when it comes to handbags. We already knew hobo bags, bucket bags, brightly colored bags, small or mini bags, and ’90’s oversized bags were going to be hot for 2022. So, it comes as no surprise that these bags are hot for the summer season. Of course, we can still rock our pouch bags, straw bags, and cross body bags during the summer season, but there are few styles we need to make sure we pull out of our closets, or invest in, for the summer season.
Hobo Bags “Moon Shaped Bags:” OK, we already knew both structured and soft hobo bags were going to be hot throughout 2022, but for some reason, people have started calling them “Moon Shaped Bags” for summer 2022. This could be due to the fact that some designers have really exaggerated the hobo shape on their structured versions, making them into an obvious moon. Or, someone, somewhere, just wanted to update the name. Either way, a moon bag is just a hobo. Pull yours out from your closet if you haven’t already, or invest in a new one. This handbag style is hotter than hot, and it isn’t going anywhere in the near future.
Oversized Bag: Did you have a bag in the early 2000’s and late ’90’s that could fit the kitchen sink inside? Pull it out from the back of your closet. Vintage oversized bags are hot right now. If you don’t already have one, or desire something new, this is the upcoming trend in handbags. I have my eye on that chocolate brown beauty in the collage!
Bright bags: Not all your bags need to be neutral. Find a brightly colored bag for the summer and enjoy rocking it.
Bucket bag: Many bags this summer season look like a pail. You can go the trendy pail route or stick with a classic bucket bag such as the beauty pictured above. Either way, buckets are hot right now.
Box bags: Here is something classic yet new on the handbag trend scene! You’ve likely seen box bags forever, but for summer 2022 they are building momentum as a hot trend. This is a classic style you can feel confident in investing in since after the trend, the bag will still be relevant as a classic style. Look for square styles which are small or medium in size and offer a shoulder strap, not cross body. I would stick to a neutral hue in this style since it is classic. This will give your new bag longevity.
Metallic bags: Gold, silver, bronze, pewter, and even shiny colors are hot for summer. While gold bags are the hottest of the bunch, go for a color that works well with your wardrobe. I am eyeing that pewter bag pictured above.
Square tote: The square tote is still hot! Keep rocking yours or invest in a new one for summer. It’s a great way to carry a small bag which still fits a lot of items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a water bottle; everything we need on a hot summer day.
Straw bags: Although not pictured, straw bags are hot this summer season. Try investing in a classic straw bag, or go for a new, trendy style. Either way, they are refreshing for the summer season.
Pouch bags: Also, not pictured, pouch bags are still hot! Keep rocking your pouch, whether large or small. It’s a hot IT bag right now!
Small and mini bags: Small and mini bags, especially cross body, are still hot. Keep rocking yours and invest in a new one if you need a refresh for summer. Look for a fun color or metallic hue. Have fun with your mini bag!
What is your favorite style for the summer season? Are you investing in a new bag, or shopping your closet this season?
It’s beginning to look a lot like summer! This past week everyone has shifted into shopping for summer attire. This tie sleeve tee is perfect for everyday wear and this comfy summer dress, which is available in tons of colors and is under $50, is flying off store shelves. I have to say, this dress is super flattering and looks good on so many body types. Love!
Nike Air Jordans are a classic IT sneaker, and here in the Bay Area we are seeing designer sneakers getting pushed to the back of closets, and Air Jordans, as well as Dunk’s, roaming the streets. These are a classic IT sneaker, but this year, they are on fire more than usual. Air Jordans are a great investment and a nod to the GOAT. If you are having trouble scoring a pair on the SNKRS app, stay tuned! I plan on writing a guide on how to score a pair. If the SNKRS app is causing you too much pain and suffering, you can easily score a pair on the secondary market. Here are a few of my current favorites.
In addition, summer nail polish colors are a lot more fun than what we saw from designers for spring. This sea foam green is a fabulous color as well as these bright takes on classic coral and pink. This lilac hue is also wildly popular. Love!
Classic hoops are also hot this year. If you haven’t snapped up a pair yet, these are under $100 and are super lightweight. Love them!
