Every season brings with it new covetable trends in clothing, shoes and beauty, but let’s not forget the most oft-used, practical fashion staple: the handbag. This spring’s hottest handbag trends are a mixture of relaxed and structured elements.

Here are four spring handbag trends that are worthy to be on your style radar:

1. Nylon: lightweight and fuss-free, today’s latest crop of nylon handbags are a lot more stylish than their older counterparts. Pick one in a pop color like the Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon Sasha. Its relaxed, simple shape makes it the perfect daytime bag.

2. Drawstring Closure: There’s a classic, slightly-nautical feel to the drawstring bag that makes it utterly charming. A single-strap leather version, like the Cole Haan Valise Denney Drawstring, makes the most versatile choice for week-long wear.

3. Structured Crossbody: While we’ve seen a huge rise in the popularity of the crossbody bag, the recent versions we’ve been seeing lean towards a more tailored, lady-like silhouette. A good example is the Kate Spade Madeline. The removable crossbody strap lends versatility to this piece, letting you wear it as a hand-held satchel for dressier outfits.

4. Leather Tote: This perennial favorite is perfect for the working woman who wants a stylish, roomy carry-all. Look for classic details like in the Marc by Marc Jacobs D1 Bianca Hayley Tote. The chic, pared-down design makes it super wearable, from the office to a dinner date.

It’s safe to say we’ve already got summer on our minds. Summer vacation, beach trips, pool days…we love it all. No summer trip is complete without the perfect accessories, and Vera Bradley has you covered with all their fun, colorful printed accessories. Here are our top 5 must-haves for staying in style during your vacation:

1. The woven beach tote- A classic straw tote is essential for chic beach or pool style. The Vera Bradley Beach Tote infuses a little bit of color and print to add a dose of signature style.       

2. Retro-style sunglasses- Protect your eyes with large gradient sunglasses like the Vera Bradley Kristen. It’s an effortless way to add chic style all summer long.

3. Cosmetics organizer- Traveling calls for portable organization, and this Vera Bradley Tech Organizer is perfect for keeping all of your beauty essentials in one place.

4. Colorful flip-flops- A pair of fun rubber flip flops are essential for the beach or the pool; Vera Bradley’s flip-flop sandals come in a variety of fun prints to choose from.

5. The carry-all duffel- This handy travel companion is just the right size for a quick weekend getaway. The Vera Bradley large duffel is a great choice for fun summer style.

Our style experts have crafted four looks from the bottom up to help you jump into the trend. Explore new colors, fabrics and prints to fit your individual taste. Nothing exudes warm weather fashion sensibility like a stellar pair of espadrilles.

As the temperature rises and the summer season goes into full swing, it's important to keep your cool. A pristine summer-white strapless French Connection Caramel Cotton Tube Dress is one way to keep cool while looking abundantly sexy. Add some bright splashes of color with a sassy Nine West Lazar espadrille wedge, a particularly smokin' trend for warm weather. Finish off this sunny ensemble with the perfect accessories such as a punchy and feminine Betsey Johnson necklace and an elegant neutral Cole Haan Perry Street Bella Clutch. The only thing missing from this fab outfit is that colorful umbrella-topped cocktail to match.

One way to keep monotony at bay this summer is to mix up your prints. Take this cool ensemble for instance; it mixes the classic summer stripes of the Joe's Jeans Abby Tank with the artistic floral print of the Steve Madden Starlet Skirt. Keep the rest of your outfit nice and solid, like a fabulously neutral Steve Madden Rapup wedge sandal to lengthen those legs. A bright and bold Diesel She's Got The Lock Bright Charactery bag keeps this look fresh and of-the-moment, and a nice layering of the Fossil Fly Free Jet Mat Multi Necklace adds some fun interest. This is an ideal spring/summer look that combines all the essentials in one updated look.

As the days get longer, there's more of a need to have ensembles that look on point from morning errands to early evening dinners. This cool and breezy outfit fits the bill with a flowy white BCBGMAXAZRIA Cascade Tank W/Ruffle top and the classic AG Adriano Goldschmied Stilt in Engage. A thoughtfully embellished Steve Madden Chryslis espadrille wedge adds the perfect touch of interest, while a sassy bracelet and delicately pretty earrings keep things feminine and sweet. Don’t forget to make it pop with a Dooney & Bourke Dillen 2 Medium Zipper Pocket Sac. This look is extremely versatile and can be worn at work, on the beach or out to dinner. 

The temperature is rising outside, so why not help usher it in with a terrific spring outfit? Slip into this eye-catching BCBGeneration Collar Detail Dress and stand tall in a pair of Stuart Weitzman Alex wedges. While you're walking around inciting a favorable furor among the passersby, you'll need to cool off with a small bottle of water. Keep your essentials ready with this vibrant MICHAEL Michael Kors Charlton Crossbody handbag. Crown your ensemble with a vivid necklace and dynamic bracelet. Now there's no doubt about the three-alarm fires you'll be creating in the hearts of everyone.
