When it comes to picking out summer handbags, color and shape are key. There’s no easier way to add bold color to your summer wardrobe than adding in a brightly-hued bag. Think corals, cobalts, bright white and any other summery color.

While there is no shortage of thoroughly-embellished footwear out there this season, sometimes it’s refreshing to just pare down to the bare, chic basics. With minimalism being a big trend for spring this year, it’s only natural that minimal sandals make their way into the fashion radar. There’s plenty of examples to choose from, but some our favorites this season are of the flat sandal variety.

Check out a few of our top picks for barely-there minimal sandals. They go with tons of ensembles, so they’re bound to be your new faves well into the summer season.

When the occasion calls for something effortlessly laidback and stylish, we love easy-to-throw on classics in soft and drapey fabrics. Take these two stylists picks for example; these casual ensembles perfectly sum up what summer fashion is all about--fuss-free yet fashionable.

The first outfit is a lovely take on modern bohemian, incorporating a relaxed wideleg pant with a lightweight and sexy cami. The stunning tribal necklace gives this look an on-trend feel, while a crochet crossbody bag gives the look a bit of hippie style.

For a busy day of sightseeing, the second ensemble is casual, but still polished and feminine. A pair of comfy capris, classic Chuck Taylor® sneakers, a breezy vest and an essential cotton tank top all adds up to a cute go-anywhere, do-anything look.

Instead of reaching for the same old t-shirt on the weekends, give your casual outfits a more polished touch with these casual-meets-dapper men’s shirts. They’re every bit as comfy as your plain tees, but infinitely more put-together.

This summer, our favorite denim trends are proving to be the most versatile items in an ever-growing wardrobe. We’re certain that these endlessly wearable styles will find their way into heavy rotation in your ensembles as well.

Without further ado, here are the most note-worthy denim trends to stock up on this summer:

Flared and Wide Leg: Whether you opt for the vintage look of a bell bottom or flared leg jeans, or the tailored, leg-flattering shape of a wide leg trouser jean, these silhouettes are here to stay. Wear the 7 For All Mankind Bell Bottom with your favorite pair of platform sandals, and the Bentley Trouser from Paige Premium Denim with a pair of sexy pumps.

Cuffed and Cropped: These styles are quickly becoming the go-to jeans for warm-weather months. They’re super versatile, and can be worn with either flats or the highest of heels. Check out the Hudson Bacara Cropped Straight Cuffed jeans or the 7 For All Mankind PFD Featherweight Seamed Utility Skinny jeans.

White Hot: You know the old saying “never wear white after Labor Day”? Well, toss that out the window because white is a great year-round color, particularly in the summer. Do a pair of sexy white shorts like the Hudson Venice Cuffed Short, or a pair of slim boot cuts like the Hudson Beth Baby Boot. White denim looks even more summery when paired with nautical-striped tops.
