There’s plenty to choose from.

While the weather might be ever-changing at the minute, if there’s one thing you can say about Irish people it’s that we know how to make the best out of our summers.

Any temperature in the double-digits is seen as enough of a reason to leave the jackets at home and head out, legs freshly shaven and on display.

And it’s also seen as the perfect excuse to start making some key purchases for our summer wardrobes.

From festival must-haves to lighter outerwear pieces for colder evenings, we’ve been on the hunt for it all.

But there is one key accessory we need to add to the mix: the statement summer bag has become a staple in our summer wardrobes in recent years.

We’re spoiled for choice pretty much everywhere at the minute but they won’t stay in shops for long.

Well, we’ve done the hard work for you, hunting down the absolute best that’s on offer and here are our top picks.

You can thank us/curse us later.
