Seemingly the hottest trend of Summer 17/18 so far, a straw hat and/or bag will give any outfit that effortless beach chic look. Paired with a fresh linen shirt and some cute sandals, channel your inner Italian babe relaxing by the pool on the Amalfi Coast. This trend is a low-maintenance alternative to high-end summer style. Especially if you’re making a trip to South East Asia (we wish) where bags and hats like this are cheap as chips! Many of the bags on offer this season also double as great carry-alls to take to the market to fill with fresh produce, allowing you to ditch the plastic and look cute and summery at the same time. If you’ve been searching for the perfect straw hat or a summery straw bag, they’re everywhere at the moment. Check out the big online retailers like ASOS, Net-A-Porter and even smaller local boutiques from this side of the world like Flo & Frankie and The Iconic. All images via Pinterest.
