If You're Over the Navy-Bag Trend, This Is the Buzzy Handbag Color Fashion People Want Now

At the start of the year, all anyone could talk about was navy-blue handbags. I, for one, am a big fan. They're timeless, versatile, and a bit more unique than a basic black bag. But when I see a navy bag, I don't think "summer." 'Tis the season to embrace colorful accessories, so it comes as no surprise to me that fashion people are temporarily phasing out navy blue and other neutral colors in favor of ones that a bit more fun and seasonally appropriate. One of those fashion people is actress and model Hunter Schafer.
Schafer was photographed leaving Chateau Marmont in L.A. this week carrying a bright-yellow handbag—Prada's new Carey bag, to be exact. (I predict it will be Prada's next It bag). Schafer, who is one of the faces of Prada, paired the oversize yellow tote with a neutral outfit consisting of a silky tank and khaki pants, and the bag effortlessly took the outfit straight into summer. Fellow stylish It girl Gigi Hadid was also recently spotted with a bright-yellow bag. As I'm sure you're aware, all shades of yellow are trending this season, from butter to mustard. Given that buzzy brands such as Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu, and Loewe are also releasing some of their most popular bags in marigold this season, I think we have a trend on our hands.
If you're in the market for a summery bag to swap your navy one for, keep scrolling to shop the ones I recommend adding to your cart.
