Summer is here and you know what that means. Tons of fun in the sun and scrambling to find the most on trend accessories of the season. We’re big fans of all things fashion, and want to provide customers with the inside scoop on all of these trends. From sunglasses to fresh summer scents, we’ve got the “in”. Our upcoming blog series is all about shining a spotlight on the top trends in sunglasses, fragrances, bags, and jewelry.
All accessories are not created the same, and handbags will always hold a special place in our hearts. From oversized abstract bags, to orange, to barrel bags, we’re spoiled this season to see a slew of new designs on our list. You can never have too many bags, and once you take a look at this list you’ll know we’re right. Although we’re providing the trends, we can not be held responsible for the amount of damage you do when shopping our list. We can’t help it if we have a great eye for style.
Circular Structure Bags
It's all about the nonconventional this summer. Sturdy box purses are still a good staple, but mixing it up with a circular structure, specifically one of natural wicker material like the two pictured above can elevate any outfit. Perfect for a day at the beach or the final touch on your festival ensemble. The fun part about purses is that they are the fun part. Make a statement and let people know you're up on the current trends when you pair this with your favorite staples.
Orange Bags
First there was Millennial pink, then cherry red, now orange of all shades is having its moment in the sun. A perfect pop of color to any outfit, orange bags are doing for summer what olive sweaters do for fall, making a statement. Seen on our favorite celebs in all different types of styles, from fanny packs to oversized bags, orange is the key to embracing summer 2019 trends to the fullest. Plus, we're sure everyone's closet can use a bit more color after such a harsh winter. Get ready to be blinded by all orange all the time.
Half Moon Bags
What we love about the half moon bag is that for most of us, it's the perfect size for summer. Meant to hold only the essentials for a beautiful day outing, you'll be compelled to leave the extra "stuff", behind. Two of our faves offered at Apparel Candy is this beige faux leather bag with adjustable strap that makes the perfect day bag. Grab your phone, keys, and sunscreen to re-apply throughout the day and you're ready to go. Our rose gold metal version is a site to see, literally, given that anything you choose to store in it will be on full display to onlookers. This is a chance to not only show off your style and great taste in bags, but what's in your bag. Is the latest Glossier balm dot com flavor in there, or are you carmex gal? Either way, the site to see is the unique shaped bag that is perfect for a day at the beach. You won't have to worry about tracking sand back to your apartment when anything smaller than one of its holes will slip right through.
Barrel Bags
Mini duffels have been on our radar since our springs trend haul. The perfect size for a girl who's always on the go but doesn't want to be weighed down by the size of a full size duffel. What we love about this mustard option is the intricate design details like its short handle and ovelayed opening.This summer, mix up the barrel bag trend with pops of color throughout like this mustard accented bag. Like the orange bags, tiny pops of color are also having a moment, and combing the two make for a fun choice.
Pencil Case Bags
Imagine it, you're back in highschool and instead of your acid wash monogrammed pencil case, you're sporting a leopard printed chain bag. That's the nostalgia that this summers latest trend, pencil bags, is eliciting from us. Literally named after the pencil cases most of us carried from class to class with our colorful assortment of pens and markers, this bag allows you to relive those times without the teenage acne and cramming for midterms. If there's anything we know from history, it's that trends that stem from our shared nostalgia as a culture tend to stay around for the long haul, and this is one we certainly hope follows suit.
