Some may believe that the essence of summer fashion lies in carefully selected pieces or accessories that add a touch of glamour. However, I strongly feel that the role of handbags cannot be overlooked and is even crucial in shaping a sophisticated and beautiful summer look.
When it comes to summer handbags, their designs are often more meticulous compared to other seasons. Summer handbags are typically more delicate, petite, and lightweight, giving off a dainty, lively, and playful vibe. ▼
Such designs not only catch the eye but, more importantly, transcend age boundaries. Whether you are a fashionable newcomer in your 20s or an elegant lady in your 30s or 40s, you can carry these bags with a unique flair.
Women of all ages can showcase their distinctive and sophisticated beauty by selecting summer handbags that suit them best. ▼
There are three types of handbags that are most suitable for summer:
The first type is the clutch bag that the blogger is holding. It features a flat body design, square cut, no straps, and a hand-held opening, making it clean and neat.
With the bag in hand, not only can you display a sophisticated and elegant visual effect, but you can also highlight your feminine charm. Clutch bags are more intellectual and professional, making them particularly suitable for career women to learn from and use to match various professional dresses and suits! ▼
Clutch bags are not just limited to evening events and high-end occasions; they can also complement simple and casual everyday outfits.
A little reminder: If you choose a dress, you do need to consider the material of the bag when matching it with a clutch.
When wearing a fluffy pleated skirt, a fabric clutch bag would be a good choice. Oxford cloth, in particular, has enough stiffness without making you feel too rigid.
If you prefer ankle-length A-line skirts, pairing them with a soft leather clutch will create a more harmonious look. ▼
Moreover, color selection is also key. If you are going for a casual style, pastel-colored clutch bags will undoubtedly add a touch of sweetness to your overall look.
On the other hand, if you want to present a more formal image, clutch bags in basic colors will be your best bet.
Overall, when matching clutch bags with dresses, the key lies in the coordination of materials and colors. As long as you master these two points, you can become the center of attention, whether in casual or formal settings. ▼
The size of clutch bags has specific standards. If it’s too small, it lacks presence and looks like an ordinary fabric strip when held in your hand, without any highlights or fashion sense.
If it’s too large, it will appear particularly bulky and cumbersome to hold, making it look inelegant. For urban women, it somewhat lowers their style!
The ideal length of the bag body is around 30×20cm. Anything too large or too small is inappropriate and unsuitable for carrying out in summer! ▼
Underarm bags are also suitable for carrying out in summer. The biggest feature of underarm bags is that they free your hands. Worn on one shoulder, they can enhance your sophisticated beauty while solving practical concerns. All your small items can fit inside, so you no longer have to worry about not having pockets!
Small and exquisite underarm bags perfectly align with current aesthetics and dressing trends. Whether you have a slender or fuller figure, as long as your top is refined and appropriate, you can achieve a high-end and beautiful effect with an internet-famous vibe! ▼
When choosing an underarm bag, I strongly recommend pairing it with a tight-fitting top. A tight-fitting long-sleeved base shirt can perfectly outline your body shape, not only highlighting your slender arm lines but also showcasing your smooth and elegant body curves. No matter from which angle you look, it’s an eye-catching highlight with a high cost-performance ratio.
If you pair it with a tight-fitting five-point base shirt, a tight-fitting sleeveless base shirt, or even a tight-fitting thin-strapped vest, you can exude the aura of a supermodel. Especially when your back lines are slimmer and more upright, the visual effect is even more outstanding.
Additionally, trying to choose tight-fitting pieces with hollow designs can create a unique and sophisticated beauty, creating a distinctive atmosphere while ensuring a sense of layering in your outfit. ▼
The body design of underarm bags is basically the same as that of clutch bags. The width of the bag bottom is generally between 3-5cm, providing a certain three-dimensional sense while ensuring that it can stand upright without falling over. Whether you place it on a table or other platform, it won’t wobble, maintaining its quality feel!
Another feature of underarm bags is the convenient shoulder strap. Most designs are mainly in the shape of a dumpling, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, clean and neat, suitable for sisters with arm fat and side breasts to learn from and reference! ▼
When choosing an underarm bag, it is crucial to ensure that your upper body is dressed in a simple and neat manner. As the underarm bag itself is a highlight, you should avoid tops with overly complex designs or too many embellishments. This will prevent visual clutter and allow the underarm bag to truly shine as the focal point of your outfit. ▼
For most people, I highly recommend the first two matching methods mentioned above. They are both fashionable and practical, suitable for sisters of all body types. ▼
The handbag, which falls between a clutch and an underarm bag, is also suitable for carrying out in summer. What sets handbags apart from the other two types of bags is that brand is the most important factor. Carrying a well-known luxury brand handbag can instantly elevate the overall quality and style of your look by several degrees!
When choosing a handbag, pay more attention to its texture and quality. If you have limited funds and cannot afford international luxury brands, opting for a well-known niche brand can also yield impressive results. The most important thing when selecting a handbag is not to compromise on quality! ▼
The length of the handbag strap is consistent with that of the underarm bag, and the non-adjustable design is clean and neat. The connection between the strap and the bag body is also streamlined and tidy.
For mature women, when choosing a handbag, basic black, khaki, and milk tea colors work best. Colors like coffee and dark brown are only suitable for autumn and winter! For younger women, when selecting a handbag, the color options can be broadly divided into black, white, off-white, beige, and light yellow! ▼
Unlike other types of bags, handbags can be particularly design-oriented. An irregular bag body design is a highlight, making it appear exceptionally high-end and avant-garde in terms of ambiance and femininity. When it comes to matching, it also stands out from the crowd.
Handbags do not have specific restrictions on the style of tops and bottoms. Whether you choose loose or tight-fitting pieces, pairing them with a handbag can create a very outstanding effect.
Similarly, there are no specific requirements for sleeve length. Pairing long sleeves with a handbag will not make you look bulky, and short sleeves with a handbag will not appear monotonous or dull. Handbags add a rich sense of layering to your outfit, making it both practical and fashionable.
