    9 Streets to the Beach Summer Bags Under $25

    Sweet summer bags for under $25!Sweet summer bags for under $25!The sun is out and I don't know about you, but I am ready to hit the beach! I'm always looking for the perfect beach bag that has plenty of room, a strikingly colorful pattern, and that won't break the bank. I also love it if I can walk off the beach and on to the streets without looking like I just stepped off Jersey Shore. Luckily, I found 9 best versatile and stylish bags all under $25! Check them out below:













    Straw BasketStraw BasketPrinted Straw Bag
    Woven straw bags are the quintessential beach bag, so it's often difficult to turn this summer gear into a casual carry-on. Pair it with a tailored look (like a white button-up and cut-to-fit shorts) and no one will ever know you stepped foot on sand!
    Buy it at Old Navy for $19.99

    The bold colors and the diamond pattern make it a perfect fit for summer -- on or off the beach. Similar to the woven straw tote above, wear this with a tailored look and you'll fit in with the city crowd.
    Buy it at Forever 21 for $20.80

    All ashore! Lately, I've been seeing more sailors walk around town than on a boat, and they are definitely setting the trend. This navy-striped bag will add a little sailor-meets-prep to your outfit.

    Add some edge to your summer wardrobe with this acid dyed tote. This tote comes equipped with side pockets for extra storage -- what I love most about bags. For that price, it's a steal.

    Some of us like to be a bit louder with our fashion than with our words. I picked this bold striped bag for its eye-catching primary colors stacking one on top of the other.

    I would love to be caught lugging this around the gym. The pretty flowers and tropical color palette will make me and my fellow gym-goers wish we were sweating on a beach than on a treadmill.

    Colorful PatternColorful PatternMulti-Color City Bag
    The cut of this bag is ideal for the city trotter who likes loading up on essentials in one bag, but still want to turn heads. I have one like this and keep a pair of flats when my feet start getting sore from my heels!

    Tribal PrintTribal PrintTribal Print
    Tribal prints have been popping up everywhere on tops, bottoms, and jewelry. It only makes sense to add the print on our bags. I love the ring loop on this bag -- that's where I add my feathered chains, gems, scarves and other charms to spice up the bag.
