There's a lot to love about summer, but one of the more niche things is that anything goes when it comes to bags. This is the time of year when you'll see everything from raffia to crochet to braided leather to mesh and so on in a variety of colors and prints. That said, if you prefer classic options, you'll find plenty of those to choose from this season as well. The only problem is figuring out which one to buy, but I'm here to offer my assistance.
Given my fashion-editor profession, I've come across a plethora of great summer bags lately, so I created a very straightforward roundup of what I think are the best ones of summer 2025. There's a variety of trends, sizes, colors, and price points, so I feel confident you'll find at least one that speaks to you. Unfortunately for the indecisive side of me, they're all speaking to me. I apologize in advance if you're in the same boat.
