Summer 2026 accessory trend: Jelly bags

The jelly shoe officially has a new companion -- the jelly tote bag.

The nostalgic accessory trend is popping up everywhere this season as fashion leans further into playful, personality-driven style moments. The jelly tote bag taps that same translucent, glossy finish, but with a more elevated, everyday feel.

Part of the appeal is practicality. Many jelly tote bags are waterproof, easy to clean and ideal for everything from beach days to errands. But beyond function, the trend also ties into fashion's growing obsession with whimsy and nostalgia.

These bags are showing up in bright colors, more neutral tones and clear finishes that can truly go with any outfit you're styling. Some channel classic market totes, while others feel sleek enough for a night out.

Below, shop some of our top jelly bag picks, and get ready to embrace a little extra fun this summer.
