A straw, raffia or woven bag may seem humble compared to certain statement pieces that you may have in your closet but straw bags may be just what you need to play up your usual everyday look in a fun and easy way.
Since they are fashioned from straw, straw bags are not only super affordable, but they can also be paired effortlessly to your day to day wardrobe whether you are going for a hint of beachy bohemia or are looking to appear cool and casual for your Sunday brunch.
Straw bags can be paired with almost anything including denim and floral dresses so you should not have to much trouble putting together an ensemble with the outfits that you may already have in your closet. To ensure that you are doing it correctly, here are some tips on how to wear and style a straw bag:
Wear your straw bag to a dressy party or classy affair
Straw bags are perfect ladylike accessories that will work well for a dressy party or classy affair. This means that you can pair it with your wonderful floral tops and dresses and better still, with your maxi dress. Adding a straw bag to a maxi dress can help to add an additional retro edge to an already lovely outfit. Pair this look with wedge sandals or cute flats for a pretty outdoorsy outfit.
Style your straw bag with stripes and denim
Your straw bag is the ideal style of bag to carry if you are interested in achieving a nautical or beachy look. Wear your straw bag alongside your brightest striped shirt and add a pair of perfectly tailored jeans. If you want a bit of pop, you can also tie a bandana or a handkerchief around your neck.
Straw hats go well with mini-dresses
If you love rocking your little mini dresses, do yourself a favour and add straw bags to your list of accessories. A lovely crossbody straw bag, whether large or small will work great with all your favourite summer outfits. This means that you can pair your straw bag with wedges, minidresses, and even straw hats if you have them.
Straw hats and white pants are a match made in heaven
White jeans and straw hats paired with your favourite summer blouse are a match made in heaven. Not only are straw bags classic and never go out of style, but they can also be worn anywhere during the summer, whether you are heading out to the farmer’s market or to an open-door festival.
