News flash: Subtlety is out...
at least when it comes to purses. Bags are going to be making major statements this fall. The fashion gods have decided we're saying goodbye to (at least for a lil bit!) and saying hello to the glam life.
Let me explain (and also convince you that you absolutely need to find a way to make these trends work in your ). This season, we saw the return of east-to-west bags (more on that later), wristlets (remember those?!), and we're getting a lil indulgent with metal-handle bags (just you wait and see). Also on the runways, across fashion, shoes, and bags? and lots of it.
Bags are not only the perfect investment piece if you want to up the ante of any outfit, but they are a v important aspect of one's personal style. *Stands on soap box.* What you carry speaks to who you are! And allows you to get experimental without a whole-outfit level of commitment—just dipping your toes in, you know? So I went ahead and rounded up the best trends for you.
Scroll to find your new It Bag. East-to-West Bags The east-to-west bag (essentially a long, rectangle shaped bag) is having a resurgence this season. These styles were everywhere on the runways, from Proenza to Gucci.
Metal Grips This season, it is all about metal details in our handles. In particular, we're going circular with the silhouette. I saw a ton of these details, especially while watching the Alaia and Chloe shows.
Leopard Print Designs Leopard print is a prominent trend for both clothing and access.
