Since the pandemic is over and you are ready to treat the world as your runway, you know how important a purse is to pull your entire outfit together. A purse is also super necessary for your nights out so you don’t lose all of your stuff and can try to sneak a drink into the bar with it too. Here are some purses you need for your look this season!
I received this purse for a graduation present and let me tell you: you will never look at another purse again. Inspired by the style queen herself Jackie O, this Gucci purse is small enough that you won’t feel like you’re carrying around so much stuff. It’s classy with gold detailing and a ton of colors including pastels that will fit anyone’s style. It’s timeless, just like Jackie, and will transport you right back to the ’60s. Do yourself a huge favor and invest in a nice purse like this one and you will have your go-to accessory that quite literally (in the words of Taylor Swift) will never go out of style.

The quilted purse is a classic. Inspired by the looks of purses from the likes of Chanel or Prada, this purse has a quilted pattern and an extra-long chain strap. The best part about bags like this one is that the strap is adjustable, so you can wear it at any length depending on your mood. The turnstile clasp is elegant, and the purse comes in three colors: black, yellow, and white so you can pick something to match most outfits or get bold and go for the yellow. It’s a great bag for going out because it’s completely sealed off from the outside world, so you won’t have to worry about spilling the contents on the floor ever.

A small statement, the monochromatic purse is so in right now. Try getting one like this that has a cute pink chunky chain detail across the front to add a little spice to your look. This dusty, muted pink looks good during any season, so you won’t have to worry about switching bags midway through the year for another, darker-toned purse. This is a smaller purse, so you only need to throw a phone charger, lip gloss, and your wallet in there before heading out on the town. Subtle detailing and mute colors are always trendy on purses, this one is perfect!

Gucci just doesn’t miss when it comes to the purse game. Here we have the perfect little bag that goes well with both day and night outfits, no purse change necessary. The seal is a horseshoe to give off a more southern-inspired vibe, with silver accents in the chain and horseshoe. Western-style accessories are very in currently, which is just why this trendy purse is to die for. Small bags are super easy to tote around with you and there’s no risk of keeping tons of unnecessary items in there like old packs of gum or the receipts you didn’t even know you shoved at the bottom.

Zara is making a huge statement this season, rising in popularity with its trendy clothing and retro-inspired style. This purse fits right into their repertoire with its green, almost lacquered look on the outside with a chunky chain as the strap. It also is monochromatic, which is good for specific looks or a vacation-style purse that will look great in your Instagram photos. Pair this purse with an all-white outfit and a cute bandana and you will have an influencer-worthy outfit that didn’t take that long to think of!

On Wednesdays we wear pink. While Michael Kors is not a name in fashion that you currently hear a lot, do not count them out. This purse is an adorable shade of pink that complements the 60’s style that is so popular right now. The dual chain detailing for the strap also makes this purse unique from the others. There is no huge logo on the bag, which is nice for when you don’t want the designer to take attention from the beauty of your purse. It has a larger quilted print that is classy and looks straight out of The Beverly Hills Hotel, which is exactly the look you wanted for this summer.

If you want just the tiniest little purse because you’re wearing a dress out and don’t have pockets, here is the bag for you. It basically cannot hold more than your phone and probably some cards or cash. It does the job for the woman who just does not want to lose her stuff while out and about, but doesn’t want to hold her phone all night long and use a phone wallet. It is simple, yet effective. A YSL logo is displayed in gold on the front, a signature that says it all. The purse also has a long strap that can go across your body or just simply hang at your side. Sometimes, less is more when it comes to a designer bag.
To end this list, we have a printed purse that will look great on your arm during brunch or a trip to a beach bar. While this is advertised as an evening bag, I can so see how it’ll work at any time of day with no hassle. Its muted floral print is perfect for any outfit that doesn’t have too much of a crazy print going on. Plus, it’s elegant and fits really any situation you will be in this summer. Having a classy purse that has a subtle print is great for any wardrobe and you won’t regret buying this one.
