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. It’s soft and cozy, making it perfect for the cooler and darker weather. If you’re looking for a medium bag that is both practical and stylish, this is a great find for your everyday errands. 

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. 

Abacus Artificial Crystal Mini Top Handle Bag - This is the perfect accessory to a holiday party this season. Holiday looks are usually centered around glam. Even if you go with a simple outfit, a great way to brighten it up is with some bling. 

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. Keeping with that style, but still being more affordable and unique, this one from Revolve is a great holiday season find. 

Metallic Ruched-Flap Drawstring Bucket Bag - If you still want the shine of the previous bag, but don’t quite want the bling, this is another great style. Bucket bags and structured handles are big trends this season, and the metallic touch makes it the perfect holiday accessory. 

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.

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 versatile accessory for this season. 

‍Mercier Mini Shoulder Bag - Alternatively, if you want to take the east-west silhouette and add more color and texture to your outfit, this shoulder bag is a great piece to style. The details of this piece, from the color 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.

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 season long. The black leather and gold metal are a classic pairing, but styled in a way that can make a statement. 

The Cactus Leather Sling Bag - If you’re looking for something that is more of a wild card but still just as stylish, this cactus leather sling is a great find. It’s big enough to fit the bare necessities, so it’s still small and compact enough. The best part is the sustainability behind it as a plant based leather made from the prickly pear cactus. 

DeMellier The New York - Tote bags are always a favorite to carry around either to work or for travel. This one from DeMellier takes the practicality and storage space, but puts a seasonal spin on it with the shearling lining. 

‍Ralph Lauren Small Bradley Convertible Bag - If you want the texture of the sherpa lining, but not quite a big tote, this crossbody from Ralph Lauren is a good alternative. It’s still a great accessory that pairs well with the cozy outfits of the season, and would work great for casual day-to-day looks.
