7 Trendiest Bags On Instagram This Summer

There are bags on Instagram that try to be trendy, but fail, and then there are bags on Instagram that you can’t stop seeing in nearly every post. If you have been holding out and waiting on the perfect bag for summer, we are here to show you the trendiest options on the gram right now.

1. Rattan/Woven Straw Bags

Rattan and woven straw bags have proven themselves to be more than just a passing fad. Introduced to Instagram around the summer of 2018, these bags are still as popular as ever. Their cute, usually intricate, designs turn them into the perfect natural statement piece for any summer outfit. Fashion and lifestyle bloggers of Instagram have turned these bags into the “It” accessory of the summer. Pack it on your next trip to the beach or your next tropical vacation for a summer getaway vibe that is sure to get some likes.

2. Clear Bags

Although clear bags also had a moment on Instagram last year, they are being reintroduced in different styles and sizes. This year, we are seeing clear tote bags with rivet snap closures, clear bags with solid handles, and clear bags with embellishments (think rhinestones, pearls, etc.) whereas last year we saw clear or color tinted transparent mini backpacks and cross-bodies. This year’s clear bags are just as much about putting what’s inside on display as well as appearing fashionable on the outside.

3. Pearl Beaded Bags

Beaded bags are providing us with a breath of fresh air as they pop up on the arms of fashion-forward beings all over Insta. With a beaded bag, it’s easy to add a cute, feminine touch to your outfit that is not overwhelming and does not make you look like a grandmother (no offense to grandmothers; we love you). Besides being a stylish addition to your cute sundresses, this bag is also large enough to still be functional so you can carry all of your essentials without having to worry about leaving anything behind.

4. Box Shaped Bags

This year has brought us some of the most diverse bag styles we’ve ever seen, and we are living for them! We are quickly moving away from repetitive purse styles such as the common satchel or tote and opting for unconventional shapes as well as unconventional materials. Box-shaped bags are the prime example of this shift from the mundane to more chic, exciting designs. This Chanel design (below) is giving us majorly cute summer picnic vibes, and we are definitely hoping to see more bag designs inspired by this shape.

5. Net Bag

Great for holding your beach essentials or some fruit from your nearest farmer’s market. The net bag is a must have this summer for that getaway vibe that will give all of your followers a serious case of FOMO. Slip in your bathing suit, some sunnies, sunscreen, and a magazine for the ideal beach day kit. For bonus style points, choose a neon color to be really on trend this summer.

6. Bamboo Bag

You have probably seen this bag all over Instagram by now as it has become a favorite of fashionistas everywhere because of its unique, fresh design. There is something simply charming about the natural look of this bag that has drawn many to it. It is roomy enough to place some necessities inside so it remains functional and fashionable. With a bamboo bag, you can be sure that your outfit will look stylish and perfect for summer.

7. Belt Bags

Belt bags, fanny packs, whatever you decide to call them, there is no denying that they are back and better than ever. Luxury brands have created high fashion versions that will keep your outfit looking chic and modern. Updates to this bag’s design have been made so that you can now purchase it in sophisticated, refined styles as well as laid back, rugged styles to match any outfit. It’s easy to see why this style of bag has grown in popularity when you can keep everything you need close to you and remain hands-free at the same time.
