summer fashion

While I am already seeing fall clothing launching at some retailers, there is still many more weeks of hot weather ahead. Here are some of my favorite summer styles under $200.

Summer Styles Under $200

Banana Republic Mesh Midi Skirt

There is something so different about this midi skirt. The material is mesh which makes it a bit more casual though the fit and print is more elevated. I love styling pieces like this with a simple tank and sandals to let the skirt be the focal point of the outfit.

Aqua Tie Front Midi Shirtdress

Summer workwear can be so difficult because it’s so hot out but you still need to look polished and professional. I adore the shape and silhouette of this shirtdress for the office.

Banana Republic Color-Block Suede Tulip Bag

Not everyone may be into this unique bag style but I think it is so different in the best way!

Tuckernuck Ric Rac Compression Tank

Everyone needs a wide array of tanks in this summer wardrobe. The ric rac edging on this elevates it so much more than a traditional tank. It is also a compression style so it will help smooth and suck you in!

Maeve Hardware Wrap Top

I’m always on the hunt for simple tops with a twist. This wrap brown top has a super flattering silhouette while the metal detail adds the perfect bit of flair.

Madewell Scoopneck Tank Maxi Dress

A summer striped tank dress is a timeless piece you will rewear year after year.

H&M Cream/Floral Quilted Jacket

This is definitely a piece to wear now into fall. I am always drawn to printed jackets because they can carry an outfit alone while keeping the rest of the look minimal.

Anthropologie Calla Large Woven Satchel

This woven bag is a similar style to a much pricier version from Dragon Diffusion. I love the vibrant red and the shape is the perfect size for everyday.

Mango Beaded Necklace

Turquoise colored jewelry is a neutral for summer because it’s so prevalent. Wear it alone with a simple tank or layer with some of your other favorite beaded pieces.

H&M Dark Brown Beaded Necklace

A great neutral tone statement necklace for under $25.

Schutz Elsha Sandals

A simple thong sandal that is easy to to dress up or down.

Tuckernuck White Linen Tunic Dress

This is the kind of dress that is perfect to wear in the blistering heat and humidity.

As soon as the warm weather hits, I like to swap out my leather and suede bags for a straw or rattan tote. Years ago the options for straw bags were so basic and didn’t look good with work outfits or outfits that weren’t super casual. Fast forward to now and there are so many amazing styles that work for any summer outfits you could wear. In this post, I rounded up 11 of my favorite straw or rattan bag options to carry this summer.

Best Straw Totes for Summer

Lifner Multi Sisal Sprout Basket

If you are looking for a straw bag that isn’t the typical light cream color, this bag combines so many great neutral tones to make it different than your average straw bag.

Sezane Justine Basket Bag

Truly a classic. Sezane is known for their straw and woven basket bags. They come in a ton of sizes and with different color straps, details, embroidery, etc. This one is the simplest but a timeless piece you will have for years.

BTB Los Angeles Bando Tote

Not everyone wants a summer bag with tons of flair so this is a great option that is simple yet still super chic.

J.Crew Como Woven Tote

The ribbon detail combined with the woven straw detail is an unexpected combination that works really well. I love this bag as a slightly dressier option if you want to carry a straw tote but don’t want something too casual.

Anthropologie Love Knot Raffia Buckle Slouchy Bag

This is a top selling bag style that Anthropologie makes each season. I love that they made a summer version. The bold zebra pattern will add so much to a simple summer look.

Poolside Bags The Sanibel Tote

If I had to choose a favorite out of this entire group, this is the bag I would pick. It is a STUNNER!!!

Tuckernuck Raffia Brett Tote

I love that straw bags have evolved so much over the years and there are options now that are summer specific but don’t feel like a beach bag.

Anthropologie Raffia Straw Basket Bag

A great price point at just under $100.

Sezane Justine Basket Bag with Embroidery

The classic Sezane straw tote with additional embroidery. I love that the florals are all neutral so it still makes the bag incredibly easy to style.

A.L.C. Sid Bag

It’s the shape for me. I am obsessed with the shape of this bag. This is a great summer style bag that you can wear in a more urban setting without feeling like you are carrying a beach bag with your work outfit.

Madewell The Mylie Shoulder Bag in Straw

I always love a mix of straw with leather straps for a summer bag perfect for the city. Also the added charms are so cute!
