The beach classic has had an upgrade.

The best straw bags are a cut above the beach classics you might remember. No longer stuck in the back of the cupboard waiting with the buckets and spades, straw bags are out in the fashion spotlight.
This season's summer essential is very much on-trend for lazy picnics, al fresco lunches, glamorous events and the most stylish of offices (we've spotted plenty around Good Housekeeping HQ).
From the arm of our very own Editor at Large Gaby Huddart at Wimbledon last year, to the catwalks of top designers like Valentino and Celine, a straw bag is a non-negotiable for your wardrobe this summer.
To help you choose the best style for you, we've rounded up some of our favourite straw bags right here and done the hard work for you.
Choose from hand-held, cross-body, tote and even clutch designs as well as a whole range of colours and patterns. Thought straw bags were always neutral? Think again. From bright coral shades and bold stripes to embroidered designs and pops of colour, there's plenty to sink your teeth into. And don't worry, we've included some classic hues in there as well.
From high street steals at £25 to investment pieces, we've got all of the best straw bags for this season right here.
Wondering what to wear it with? Check our our best midi skirts for a polished and stylish outfit choice, and grab a pair of chunky sandals to finish the look.
With a choice of black or burgundy leather detailing, it takes a laid back straw bag and soars it to luxurious new heights. These will never go out of style earning pride of place as an icon piece in your summer wardrobe.
