The summer 2026 season is all about classic handbags, the anonymous handbag, vintage IT bags, natural fibers, and some utility. Ultra tiny bags that cannot fit a phone are not a thing this season. Love that!

The runways gave us a throwback to huge, oversize bags. While they are not quite here for the summer season, watch for big bags in the fall. So right now, continue to wear small and medium bags which can hold everything you need on a daily basis.

Logos are so far out, no one can even see them anymore. Steer clear of logo prints and giant, “in your face,” logos. Continue to invest in beautiful handbags which showcase quality and style rather than brand. This is also a fabulous look for your bank account.

Natural fibers are hot again this summer season. Look for straw bags and classic canvas totes. The small canvas tote featured above can be customized with your initials or name. It also comes in various sizes. I have a medium version which makes the perfect summer tote bag. In addition to canvas totes, this straw tote can have your initials, your name, or a fun saying printed on it. Mine says “Jet Set.”

Summer capsule wardrobe 2026

Summer capsule wardrobe from top left: long sleeve dress / blue sweater / oversize tee / navy shirt dress / pearl earrings / gold hoops / CZ studs / lipstick / neutral knit top / maxi skirt / Dior summer nail polish / Chanel summer nail polish / Hermes summer nail polish /

The summer season is upon us! This summer 2026 season we are seeing oceanic nail polish hues, vibrant neutral nail polish hues, maxi skirts, fun prints, pops of color, pearl jewelry, and timeless style mixed with a little pizazz. Love that!

So, for the summer 2026 season, my capsule wardrobe is maxing out on maxi skirts, including multiple prints, and adding classic pieces to round-out my overall summer vibe.

This summer is all about combining classic peices with some standout items to create a middle ground in style. Flashy looks are not “in” along with staying far away from logos. So, this means adding prints and vibrant colors without overdoing it. I love a printed maxi skirt with a neutral, quiet top for a breezy summer look.
