8 On-Trend Summer Bags That Look Expensive—But Aren't
It’s always a plus to shop on the affordable side, however, if you ask me, I find that it’s especially important to do so when buying into trends. After all, while some trends break the mold and last for season upon season (only to eventually become staples), sadly, that’s not always the case. As such, keeping it under $50 is always a safe bet for anything that’s not 100% classic or that you’re even slightly on the fence about.
So what summer bag styles are we proposing you spend (but spend conservatively) on, today? You’re about to find out and get the chance to shop them at prices we can all get behind, thanks to our very own Who What Wear Collection. From an of-the-moment print for the season to the shapes and fabrications we’re loving right now, simply continue on for the six noteworthy trends.
