For the True Style Enthusiasts: The Summer Bag Trend That’s Sleeker Than Shoulder Bags and More Relaxed Than Clutches! — Fashion
In this article

Picture a breezy, flowing top paired with a floor-length maxi skirt, not complemented by a stiff clutch or classic handbag, but by a relaxed drawstring bag that gives off a much more casual vibe. These drawstring bags have become the common thread in nearly every outfit that nails that casual elegance. They’re not quite right for glamorous events where a sleek clutch is the norm, but they’re way more refined than your everyday shoulder bag, usually reserved for daytime wear.

Among them, the drawstring bucket bag has emerged as the ultimate favorite. Its shape is practical yet eye-catching—just bold enough to make a statement. After checking out the next 20 bags, I bet you’ll agree. Here are the drawstring bucket bags every truly stylish woman is rocking right now.
