European summer style is all about effortless elegance, timeless pieces, and sustainability. At Beyond the Bag, we believe that European-inspired fashion doesn’t have to be complicated. With our beautifully crafted bags, you can bring that chic, laid-back vibe into your wardrobe this season. Here are five simple tips to help you get the European summer look:
1. Stick to Light, Breathable Fabrics
European summer fashion is centred around comfort and breathability. Light fabrics like linen, cotton, and soft cotton blends are essential to staying cool while looking polished. Flowing dresses, loose blouses, and wide-leg pants are perfect for warm weather and can be easily styled for any occasion.
Breezy Vibes Only: Pair a breezy linen dress with one of our neutral-toned, eco-suede Crossbody bags for a comfortable yet chic look that’s perfect for a warm summer day.
2. Embrace Minimalist, Timeless Pieces
Simplicity is key to European summer style. Well-tailored, minimalist garments that can be dressed up or down are wardrobe staples. Opt for classic cuts like a crisp white shirt, high-waisted shorts, or a versatile midi skirt that can carry you from day to night.
Less Is More: Keep your look effortlessly chic by pairing a white button-up shirt or simple dress with one of our stylish Crochet bags. This combination exudes European sophistication without being overdone.
3. Neutral and Earthy Tones Are Your Go-To
When it comes to colour, European summer wardrobes lean heavily on neutrals and earthy tones. Think soft whites, beige, olive, and tan—colours that complement the warmth of the season while maintaining a polished and relaxed vibe.
Earthy Elegance: Pair a white linen blouse with a Green eco-suede Crossbody bag for a refined, yet easy-going look. Our bags are designed to seamlessly blend with your neutral summer wardrobe, adding the perfect touch of elegance.
4. Accessories Should Be Elegant and Practical
In Europe, accessories are chosen for both their functionality and beauty. Think lightweight scarves, chic sunglasses, and a well-crafted handbag. The right accessories complete the outfit without stealing the spotlight.
Accessorise Like a Pro: Elevate your outfit with one of our Bum bags. With its luxurious texture and sustainability, it’s the perfect accessory to complement your minimalist summer look whilst maintaining practicality.
5. Keep It Comfortable and Practical
European summer fashion values practicality just as much as style. Choose footwear that’s both comfortable and chic, such as sandals, sleek sneakers, or stylish flats. The key is to look polished whilst being ready for any adventure the day brings.
Comfy Chic: Complete your summer look with a practical, yet stylish Active bag. Durable, versatile, and roomy, our bags are the perfect for holding all your summer essentials.
Achieving the European summer look is all about embracing simplicity, quality, and sustainability. With timeless pieces, breathable fabrics, and a beautiful bag from Beyond the Bag, you’ll have a wardrobe that’s both stylish and environmentally conscious.
