A bag can truly make or break an outfit. A lot of the time, we forget that accessories are what make a look. You have a main piece you style around, and then you add on your embellishments to finish it off. Bag trends are the most fun to watch circulate; in my opinion, it tells you a lot about the current status of celebrity culture, pop culture, and sometimes even politics, as all fashion does. Notice that most of the time, Black women keep their bags on them at all times (you’ll never see a Telfar on the floor.) A cute bag is a way to wrap a look together, but don’t forget she’s a necessity too. And while spring activities will be chill in comparison to the summer activities, be ready for the quick transition with bags that will carry over to new seasons seamlessly.
We found all the trendy bag styles you should add to your wardrobe this spring to turn anything basic into spring-summer romanticized “main character” versions of your outfits.
Oversized
If there’s one thing about being a girl on the go, it’s that she’s always carrying a big oversized bag to fit that laptop, maybe some flats, a book, and tons of essentials that could turn into a spend-the-night bag at any moment. She’s always ready with a big bag that’s large, yes, but always chic.
Baguettes
The classic baguette shape will always be famous. There has never been an it-girl that I’ve seen without one. If you want a household name designer baguette, try buying vintage Ebay or Depop. Remember when Fendi baguettes were all the craze? Expect to see them again alongside emerging brands.
Shining, Shining, Shining
Metallic bags are the item that every girl’s night and club moment has to see. Style a metallic bag in any color, whether silver, pink, blue, or whatever you want, with literally anything, and it will make a statement.
Buckle Up
Y2K is a style that will probably be in orbit forever in fashion. This trend of belt buckles on bags and on things that aren’t belts, in general, is fun to see on it-girls.
