Searching for a summer going out bag? You’ll want to explore picks that are lightweight, versatile and speak to your personal style.
We’ve highlighted a few of our Coach favorites (plus why they’re just right for the warm weather season).
Pops of color, woven textures and hands-free convenience—these are just a few of the qualities to look for in a going-out bag for the summer. After all, your plus-one for the season should make your life easier, all while serving as an extension of your personal style. And when it comes to going out, you’ll want a bag that steps up to the occasion, too (think gleaming hardware and eye-catching patterns).
Here are a few of our favorite going-out bags for summer, all designed to endure your many late nights out to come.
Tabby
Whether going out in the summer consists of dinners in the city, happy hours that turn into evening drinks or late nights spent on the beach, there's a Tabby bag for every style and mood.
The icon for everyone, the Tabby can be worn as a statement clutch, refined shoulder bag or stylish crossbody, depending on your vibe. Experiment with a Tabby that’s designed for summer—think wooden beading, dark fuchsia suede or straw.
Or, if you prefer to keep it classic, Tabby is known as the Little Black Bag for a reason. Timeless, cool and versatile, it takes the guesswork out of looking stylish (and is the ultimate confidence booster you can rely on in an instant, especially when rushing out the door for a summer night out).
Charming, carefree and always reliable, the Nolita truly is the Swiss Army Knife of bags. Wear it as a mini shoulder bag or loop it around your wrist while on the go. Nolita works however you need it, whenever you need it.
Designed to hold only what you truly need for a night out, the Nolita is lightweight (and as a result, comfortable to carry all night long). Throw in your keys, iPhone, card case and lip gloss for a style that will never weigh you down.
Nolita blends into your summer wardrobe seamlessly, regardless of your personal style. Still, if you’re looking for a bag that sticks to summer vibes, explore picks in striped straw and shiny light blue leather.
Searching for the ultimate supporting act this summer? The perfect plus-one, Teri is built to move through seasons, wardrobes and evolving styles. Inspired by the silhouettes of our iconic ’90s archival bags and reimagined for today, Teri effortlessly blends form and function.
Throw the Teri over your shoulder while snapping photos with friends before slinging it across your body while walking from happy hour to outdoor dinner reservations. Its classic design is always on trend, fit for any and every occasion.
Play around with summer styles in Signature Denim or gingham print—they’re unexpected enough to standout, yet not too overly bold that they steal the spotlight away from your going-out outfit.
Neutrals don't always have to blend into the background. In fact, summer neutrals are typically crisp and bright. Shades of white, silver and blue gray can make any all-neutral summer look stand out. Go for a monochromatic look with a white linen sundress and an all-white mini bag for a style that's refreshing on even the hottest summer days.

Versatile, convertible styles that transition from shoulder bag to crossbody or wristlet are a popular choice for everyday summer outings (including strolls through the park, bike rides along the boardwalk and outdoor dinners or rooftop happy hours). Style your adaptable bag one way on the way there, then switch it up on the walk home.
