A great tote bag might be the most versatile item in your wardrobe. Here are five completely different ways to wear the same bag — from weekend errands to a casual work day.
1. The weekend errand look
White tee, straight-leg jeans, white sneakers, tote bag on the shoulder. Classic, effortless, done. Add a pair of simple gold hoops and you're elevated without trying.
2. The beach day look
A woven tote is practically made for the beach. Throw in your sunscreen, a sarong, a good book, and your water bottle. Wear it with a linen shirt over your swimsuit.
S4W tip: Our woven tan tote is water-resistant and wipes clean — perfect for sand and sun.
3. The casual office look
Pair your tote with tailored trousers and a tucked-in blouse. Carry it in the crook of your arm rather than on your shoulder for a more polished feel. It holds a laptop, your lunch, and everything else you need.
4. The farmers market look
This is what totes were born for. Slouchy, relaxed, filled with fresh produce. Wear it with a midi skirt, a simple tank, and flat sandals.
5. The evening out look
Yes, really. A quality woven tote in a neutral tone works for casual evening plans. Pair it with a slip dress and mules — the contrast of relaxed bag with dressier clothes is very intentional and very chic.
