That summer feeling is in the air, which means there's also the inescapable urge to start planning a relaxing getaway stat—that is, if you didn't already book your 2022 summer trip a year in advance. (I'm definitely in the procrastinator category, for what it's worth.) I would argue that the most fun part of planning a vacation is imagining all the cute outfits you could be wearing depending on the destination. And your outfit is never complete with a bag, of course. 

Whether you're going to a more central city like Paris or London or to a beachside location like Lisbon or Positano, I rounded up 31 cute summer bags that are longing to be packed in your suitcase and brought along for the ride. There's everything from straw top-handles to sleek crochet baguette bags and mini bags to woven leather crossbody styles. No matter what warm-weather outfits you're neatly packing—or more likely sloppily throwing—into your luggage, you'll definitely find a bag or two here that'll go with your vacation looks. Keep scrolling to see for yourself.

Lauren Adhav is a freelance fashion editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Orlando, Florida, she always wanted to work at a fashion magazine. After finally getting an internship at Town Country in 2015, she moved to New York City and continued to get her footing in the industry with stints at Cosmopolitan, W magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and Moda Operandi. In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice. After five years in NYC, she moved to the West Coast for the sunshine and the change of pace. As a freelance fashion editor, she still contributes to Cosmo and nowBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.
