Summer means musical festivals, flea markets, and the like (read: tons of time spent frolicking outside!). Rather than carrying around a cumbersome tote, swap yours out for a lightweight crossbody to keep your hands free. A smaller bag lets you experiment without overwhelming your outfit — add a pop of pink with Miu Miu’s patent satchel, or mix in some texture with Pixie Market’s snakeskin shoulder bag. Or keep it simple with a neutral carry-all from Mango, and for those uncomfortable with anything other than black, stick with Acne’s mesh-strap purse. See these options and more in our slideshow.
