A woman’s bag is her best friend. Designers may recommend various styles, colors and sizes but you’re probably still undecided on which bag should you ultimately choose. The answer is rather simple: take a look at the catwalk!

There are many different types of bags available this summer. You can choose a big bag to carry everything necessary (and even are few things that aren’t!) with you wherever you go. Or you could choose a small purse to pair with an evening dress or an everyday outfit which carries only the most important things. Designers have highlighted fashionable details and accessories on purses this season. This is because people seem to concentrate more on buying bags and shoes more than clothes nowadays. I’ve selected the hottest styles of summer bags below. Choose one for yourself!

1. XXL size: A bag this size is perfect for a girl that loves having all her treasures close at hand. Choose beige, white, violet or gold to follow today’s popular colors. Draw inspiration from Chanel, Ralph Lauren or Balenciaga.
2. Ladies Briefcase: This is a variation of a popular vintage large bag. Alexa Chung was the first to wear such a bag. Her satchel bag was an inspiration for Mulberry. The firm designed a model named “Alexa”. What’s the most desired color? Camel, of course.
3. With a chain strap: We all know who was a forerunner of this type of bag: Coco Chanel, with her beautiful and small 2.55 Chanel purses. This time, besides the original model, such bags are proposed by Jimmy Choo, Ferragamo and Givenchy. This bag represents an appreciation for elegance and vintage. Why not try it?
4. With a shoulder strap: Next season, shoulder bags with new colors and fabrics will be popular. If you appreciate comfort you should definitely choose one. Designers, such as Burberry, Fendi, Pucci or Dolce & Gabbana prefer patchwork types patterns. They have a funky look that is perfect for summer.
5. With fringes: This is a frequent trend nowadays and no wonder! This is the detail that signifies summer. Don’t worry if you think it looks too rock’ n’ roll or wild west. Folklore is back in style!

The bag you choose depends on your taste in style, size and type, of course. The good news is, you have a huge range of options! Have fun bag shopping this summer!
