How to Style a Straw Bag

If ever there was a classic summer bag, it's the straw bag. Sometimes called a market bag, this roomy tote is part purse, part shopping bag and a carry-all that can take you all through the summer.
With a natural weave of straw materials and neutral color, it goes with any outfit, so you can grab it to run some errands, for a day at the beach, or to do some shopping at all your favorite summer markets. It will hold all your essentials and more, making it the perfect summer accessory.

Here are some ways to style a straw bag.
Beach Look
A straw bag looks beachy paired with shorts, a breezy cotton top, a tropical-print shirt and a bucket hat. This roomy tote will hold everything you need for fun in the sun, such as a swimsuit and cover-up, sunscreen, sunglasses, beach towel and water bottle. See how a styled it for a beachy, tropical look in my previous article.
Market Look
I love going to summer markets, and a roomy straw bag is perfect for holding my wallet and keys and then picking up lots of fresh produce and baked goodies. My typical market look is a cool, cotton, graphic t-shirt paired with a vintage skirt, high-top sneakers and sun hat. Of course, the neutral straw bag fits right in! See more of my summer market looks on my blog.
Boho Look
A straw bag's organic, earthy texture goes perfectly with the hippie-inspired boho look. Pair it with a light cotton paisley blouse, denim skirt, bolero hat, leather belt, and sandals and the straw bag just adds to this artsy, counterculture look. It will hold everything you need for a day out, including keys, wallet, phone, makeup, sunnies, water bottle, snacks and any shopping you do along the way.
