Even those with little interest in the world of fashion know that trends are cyclical. Through the decades trends come and go, only to come back in style once again. From 70’s inspired clogs to comfy dad shoes to the return of house dresses, during the past year we’ve seen quite a few already. But there’s yet another accessory from years gone by circling back with a fresh take: the Y2K era baguette bag.

Quite possibly the first ever ‘it’ bag thanks to its heavy rotation on Sex and the City, the baguette bag is the perfect middle ground between an oversize bag and a tiny one. It’s large enough to carry the essentials yet small enough to not overshadow your outfit. Plus, it looks cute nestled right below your armpit. No wonder this slim and chic bag has become the bag of choice for nearly every off duty model this summer.

For a truly nostalgic feel, you can opt for a vintage Prada nylon version or Fendi Baguette ($3,290). But for a more modern take, brands like BY FAR and Staud are championing the trend with more futuristic touches like colorful fabrics, ruching, intricate beadwork and a little sparkle.
