Straw Hats and Yute Totes Lead Summer Accessory Trend
Straw hats have returned for the summer season, with classic raffia styles and pillbox designs highlighted for their ability to elevate casual outfits. Fashion writers note that the hats work with dresses, jeans, swimwear and even business attire, offering sun protection and a polished look.
At the same time, large natural‑fiber tote bags—often called "capazos"—are gaining popularity. Brands such as Zara, Mango and Parfois showcase yute, paper‑woven and raffia versions that combine sustainability with roomy, versatile designs. The bags are marketed for beach trips and city outings alike, featuring wooden handles, striped patterns and neutral tones that match a range of summer wardrobes.
