@monikhDragon Diffusion's leather woven basket bags have been around for a few years now, but it seems their popularity is at an all-time high this summer. Every time I log in to Instagram, I see them on repeat. And now, there are even more iterations starting to crop up.

@claudia_berresfordBouclé textures were more prevalent than ever on the S/S 22 runways, so it's little wonder the fabrication has trickled down to bags, too. The texture exudes "rich aunt" vibes, which, I'd argue, is a label to aspire to have.

@deborabrosaThere are a few It bags already coming through for summer 2022, but none are quite as in demand as Prada's crochet tote. It's been flying off the shelves in record time, so I advise setting up alerts for the specific style and colour you're looking for. If all else fails, however, there are more affordable options to choose from, too.

@dawn.tanWhile I love the look of boxy, structured bags, if you're looking to make your outfits more current, then you need to invest in a curved style. Coperni presents an impeccable silhouette, but almost any curved shoulder bag will do the trick.

@monikhBetween woven leather textures and crochet totes, you don't need to be a bag lover to see that handbags with beachy and holiday influences are big news this summer. Enter bags with nautical-inspired rope handles.

@indyabrownThis season is all about embracing the brightest of bright colours, but if wearing a saturated shade in a dress or suit sounds too daunting, try adding a colour shock to your ensembles with a bright shoulder bag. There are currently plenty to choose from.

@astyleeditAll of our editors have been raving about COS's sling-style handbag, and it's not hard to see why. Inspired by The Row's iconic Banana handbag, this crossbody is the way to go in 2022.

@bettinalooneySometimes, you just need a little glamour in your life (and wardrobe). Lots of people are wanting to feel fancy again, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that sparkly bags are very much a thing right now. Wear these handbag styles with contrasting linen and other lightweight fabrics to make them feel more summery.
