Whether you’re hitting the Memorial Day sales or the shore, fun ideas on how to curate the perfect summer carry-all bag, depending on your destination: Randall’s Island, the Highline, Central Park or the Rockaways. Now just pray for good weather!
Randall’s Island
The look: Get music-festival fab for Governors Ball next weekend in iridescent gear paired with bright bandana-patterned sandals. And don’t forget chic (yet practical!) doodads, like hand sanitizer mist and a smiley face bottle opener.
Rockaway Beach
The look: Hit the shore with a slouchy tie-dye carryall and a laid-back bucket hat (which won’t take up much space in your bag). Pack plenty of SPF, and don’t forget an aloe-infused after-sun soother to slather on before the long ride home.
Central Park
The look: For a day lounging in Sheep’s Meadow, pick a bold, cheery bag that’s big enough to hold the day’s necessities: A sun-protecting hat, a big blanket to lounge on and a refreshing bev.
The Highline
The look: Traipse up to Hudson Yards, the ultimate summer shopping destination, with a trendy bucket bag and mules. A hands-free phone holder will come in handy waiting on line for the Vessel, and a light scarf is a must for when you venture into the air-conditioned mall.
