The Perfect Summer Beach Bag

What’s summer without a hot tote to stash your beach read, sunglasses and loads of colorful lip gloss? We can’t even imagine.

This year, we’re crushin’ on way-bright bags that are total scene-stealers. Whether you’re hittin’ the shore or stowing away to camp, our picks are sure to add punch.

 
Dreamin’ of a major getaway? A tropical toter screams “escape!” It’ll brighten up your plain khakis, but also look extra cool with a bold dress. Beach optional.

Right, colorful leopard spots are crawlin’ on all the coolest accessories. This bag will sass up any ensemble ya pull together, but looks especially brilliant against darker hues.

It’s no secret that we’re sweet on rope details this spring. That’s why Old Navy’s latest carry-alls totally caught our attention. Throw in a heart-worthy design and it was love at first glance.

This bag might look bookish, but it’s plastered with a phrase that’s pure summer. Just like flip-flops, it works with every casual ensemble ya got. Swoon!

OK, so this sweetie isn’t exactly a tote, but it is a stylish way to stash your bikini on vacay. No more endless searching to find that bottom…which means you get to the pool faster!
