Let it pop: Fashion guide to styling bright bags and sliders for summer looks

Published on 26/04/2025 09:11 AM

The optimism of summer fashion goes up with the rise in temperature. For summer fashion, the general rule is - the hotter it gets, the brighter you go. And, nothing captures that spirit quite like a dose of pop colour. As our wardrobes transition to lighter silhouettes, accessories in electric hues step into the spotlight, effortlessly transforming a neutral outfit into a conversation starter.

Whether you’re heading to an open-air brunch, a sundowner soirée, or a lazy afternoon picnic, bright bags and vibrant sliders offer a playful yet polished way to make a statement.

Colour coded:

Pop colours are a great way for individuals to express their personality through fashion. They instantly inject energy into an outfit and help make a bold, confident statement. To strike the right balance, pair a statement bag with light, neutral-toned clothing.

According to Ayush Tainwala, CEO of Bagzone Lifestyles Pvt. Ltd., “Bright coral, cobalt blue, citrus yellow, and hot pink are more than just colour choices. They’re declarations of individuality. Let the pop piece be the focal point and pair it with a neutral or classic base to create balance and avoid visual clutter. Flowy white dresses, beige co-ords, or pastel linens create the perfect canvas for a bright coloured tote, sling, or a crossbody to truly stand out. For outdoor events, opt for bags that are both striking and practical. Roomy totes in pop colours are ideal for daytime. For evenings or sundowners, mini bags or quirky slings add just the right dose of drama without feeling heavy.”

Style meets utility:

Pop-coloured bags are more than just pretty—they’re practical. “Accessories are the easiest way to add vibrancy to summer outfits, and the one that always stands out is a bold handbag that helps in making the most effortless statement,” says Tainwala.

And while bold might sound intimidating, the right pairings keep things grounded. A crisp white dress with a tan bag is a classic summer uniform. Coral and black create drama with polish. And blue-on-beige? It’s the understated hero of daytime styling.

Sliders that speak volumes:

While bags may be the most visible accessory, footwear is often where the magic begins. As Sachin Joseph, Executive Vice President of Marketing and IT at Paragon Footwear, points out, “Shoes can be the ideal place to start. A pair of bright sliders in colours like electric blue, coral, or lime can effortlessly lift even the most basic fit.”

Comfort is key during outdoor events, and summer sliders check all the boxes. Cushioned, breathable, and easy to slip on, they’re the laid-back MVPs of the season. Joseph suggests styling these with earth-toned or solid-coloured outfits to let the footwear command attention.

“Summer fashion is all about easy style, and shoes are a large part of that. Go for bold-coloured sliders that provide ease with cushioned insoles and airy designs. Allow your shoes to speak for themselves by having a light and airy outfit. Steer clear of accessorizing too much; one or two showstoppers, such as a standout neckpiece and perhaps tinted sunglasses, are sufficient to make an impression while remaining cool and comfortable.”

Opt for hot pink flip-flops with bracelets of the same colour palette for a dramatic look. One can also combine vibrant blue or pink footwear with white or beige attires for a bright, summery look. Mint green or lilac shoes also look lovely with denim clothing.
