Bags are arguably one of the most underrated accessories to any outfit. Even if you’re styling a very simple look, the addition of a tote or a small clutch can completely elevate and change the whole tone of it. Aside from the revival of mini bags this season, there are many other styles we’ve loved seeing this season, from belted bags to the trending tones of brown and burgundy. We’ve scoured various brands and found our favorite styles that you can include in your winter wardrobe.
Mansur Gavriel Candy Hobo - Suede is the fabric of the season. Of course it's perfect for the colder weather—but with western americana trends on the rise, the fabric is here to stay for this spring. The large interior is also perfect for those of us that like to walk places during warm days, but need to bring a pair of heels to change.
Quince Italian Leather Trapeze Crossbody - On the smaller but still practical side is this crossbody bag. While it is versatile to carry in many ways, we love the structure of the top handle that leans into the maximalism aesthetic we’re seeing more of this season, but still in an elegant way. The color is perfect to pair with any all white outfit this summer.
Verafied Shoulder Bag Zebra - This zebra shoulder bag is indescribably perfect. With the thin brown, leather buckle and the fun pattern paired with brown coloring is the best way to integrate a pattern into your wardrobe. The style is sleek, yet super fun and the shape is perfect for any going out scene. Run, don't walk.
Alexander Wang Ryan Small Bag - Between the top drawstring closure, interior slip pocket, and gorgeous top handle integrated beautifully into the bag—you can’t go wrong. Not to mention this pink is perfect for a summer day whether it’s a walk on the beach or simply a stroll around town.
JW Pei Abacus Artificial Crystal Mini Top Handle Bag - This is the perfect accessory to dress up an outfit this summer, it's unique range of styles and patterns make this piece wearable in any season, but the artificial crystals certainly take the cake for any classy evening event.
Olga Berg Bianca Ball Mesh Handle Bag - Still keeping with the bling theme, but with a twist. Wristlets or bracelet bags became a statement piece this season from many luxury brands, and based on the trends at Fashion Month we'll see it continue to flourish. That said, this bracelet mesh handbag is even better going into the hotter months with a light, yet luminescent gold look to complement light and fun pastel outfits.
The Row 90’s Nubuck Tote - It’s no question the 90’s is making a comeback, and The Row is on the come up. The adjustable buckle top handle is meticulously placed for comfortable wear, and while small, your cards and phone can fit inside. Simplicity is what truly stands out — and you will feel like the chicest girl in any room.
Charles + Keith Metallic Ruched-Flap Drawstring Bucket Bag - This bucket bag truly shines without the bling. Bucket bags and structured handles have been on the rise as we are seeing them come from different large-scale or up and coming designers. Not to mention, they are roomy and can be worn in so many fun ways.
Anthropologie The Hollace Tote: Buckle Mini Edition - Another trend we’re seeing is accessories for your accessories, specifically belted bags. Sure they make for great fasteners on the bag, but what we’re really looking for is to make a statement. Even for a mini bag, there is plenty of room making it another practical and stylish find. This is the perfect way to capitalize on western couture looks, and is a fun find to pair with cute maxi dresses or even a fun blouse and pants.
Freja Caroline Bag - East-west bags make quite a splash this season. Similar to baguette backs, these bags have longer and narrower silhouettes. They make for great shoulder bags or even clutches, and can be dressed up or down—the most practical and versatile accessory.
Freja Mini Christie Bag - If you're looking for something similar, but a little lighter, or smaller—look no further. With a similar gorgeous shape to the bag, the white color and long handle will make this accessory pop with any fun outfit this season. The strap clip at the top makes it convenient and is such a fun detail to show off, no wonder why this is on preorder in February!
Cult Gaia Mercier Mini Shoulder Bag - If you're not wearing Cult Gaia this summer, it should definitely be on your warm weather wish list. The details of this piece, from the deep colors to the texture and movement from the beads to the butterfly shaped silhouette, add a fun youthful quality to the accessory that can really elevate your looks.
Casa Clara Ophelia Bag- The wooden exterior and straw textured bag is chefs kiss. It has drawstring closure and dual top handles to make this practical for any warm weather occasion. The price point makes the piece event better — and the look doesn’t serve as just a bag, but an accessory.
A.L.C. Simone Bag - If you are heading to a fun party this spring or summer — don’t forget your Simone bag. The gorgeous tie handle at the top is the epitome of elegance and the studs are the perfect way to keep the piece trendy. Although the size is slightly small, it will class up any basic look by adding an incredible pop to its exterior. Made with lamb leather and a soft lining, you won’t be able to leave her behind.
Leather Handbag With Pockets - Pocket bags are another trending piece this season. Aside from the utility behind them, they lean into the maximalist aesthetic we’ve been loving all last season, where there's no doubt it will carry over. The black leather and gold metal are a classic pairing, but styled in a way that can make a statement. This shape and the way that the zippers are reminiscent of the gorgeous Miu Miu pieces.
Demellier New York Midi Tote - Not only is this bag versatile, but incredible for any season — however, the structure and stylist of the bag has risen to popularity, with lots of incredible “dupes.” After speaking to various owners, the original is certainly better. It absolutely gives quiet luxury whether you are into the raffia or all leather and can be worn just by holding its two gorgeous handles, a strap, or on your shoulder. Do the girl math, it’s basically a 3 for 1.
Isabel Marant Small Yenky Tote - Another way to implement the "Isabel Marant" trend? Wear it! This 100% cotton bag with a slightly darkened, and raised logo is just to die for. Not to mention, the black on black is the perfect way to let your bag stand out — without being too gaudy. If you’re running some errands or running to the gym, this Marant tote is the perfect new staple for any season, but the linen look is especially trendy for warm weather.
Siedres x Revolve Brisa Bag- Following on the Americana trend this season, we need those faded and vintage looking browns. This mix of both suede and leather materials come together to create an incredibly beautiful handbag. Its magnetic closure is convenient, and side zipper pocket will ensure your important belongings are secured when you step out. It’s a no brainer that this style and bag will be popular for decades.
JW Pei Lily Woven Shoulder Bag - This JW Pei is a very unique take on the woven look for spring and summer days, but is just so perfect to take around as a small accessory so that it doesn't detract from your gorgeous outfits. The chocolate brown color is to die for, and the zipper top definitely seals the deal as a perfect seasonal shoulder bag.
