Summer’s not even halfway over, but it’s already time to start thinking about fall fashion. The good news is, there are a lot of things that work well in both seasons, or even year round. Whether it’s because of the material, the color, or the style, you can find handbags that will go with your summer wardrobe, and make a seamless transition into fall. A great example of this? The Badgley Mischka Ana straw tote.
Straw is the ideal summer bag material. It’s lightweight, versatile, and brings to mind tall beach grass and picnic baskets. It’s also easily dyed to be any color, and I love this gorgeous spice tote. It’s a great color for both summer and fall, but it also comes in black, and barley, a natural straw color. The bag is also trimmed with a complementary colored patent leather panel on the front, and has two patent leather handles, adjustable with brass colored buckles. There are also two thin patent leather strips on the bottom that hold small metal feet to protect the bag. The interior is lined with grosgrain, and has a back panel zip pocket adorned with a metal logo tag. Buy this all-season bag for $475 at Endless.com.
Budget Saving Alternatives
If you prefer the look of leather, but not the price, there are great synthetic options out there like Jessica Simpson’s St. Tropez tote. The synthetic leather is woven, giving the bag a casual look. It also goes great with anything in summer or fall in a neutral light brown color. The interior is lined in a pretty, colorful floral fabric that has a zip pocket, and a few slip pockets. The top zip closure keeps your belongings secure, and there’s a key ring holder so you never misplace your keys. The double handle gives the bag an 8-inch drop, and one of them has a pretty butterfly charm in red, green, and gold attached to it. Get this great all-around bag for just $128 at Piperlime.com.
Speaking of all-around bags, this Dakine Shimmy will go just about anywhere and carry just about anything. The gold and pink floral print gives the bag a fresh, summery look, while the brown background will take the bag into fall. A cream colored, adjustable shoulder strap both contrasts with and complements the bag. Lining the interior is a fun floral fabric in light pink with tiny, darker pink and orange flowers, a very feminine touch. Cargo pockets give plenty of extra storage space, as does the inside zippered pocket. The bag zips closed to keep everything in its place. It’s also available in a black pinstripe, garden strip, and candy stripe. Get a couple of them at just $34 each at Zappos.com.
