The It Bags of the Season: The Styles You’ll See Everywhere
A new season means fresh trends, and no outfit is complete without the perfect bag. This season’s "It" bags are all about balancing statement-making style with effortless wearability—because who has time for anything else? Whether you love a sleek minimalist look, a dose of nostalgia, or bold, fashion-forward silhouettes, there’s something for everyone. Here’s the rundown of the bags currently taking over runways, street style, and your social feeds.
1. The Soft-Sculpted Shoulder Bag
The slouchy shoulder bag is officially having a moment, and we’re obsessed. Think butter-soft leather, exaggerated curves, and a just-thrown-over-the-shoulder vibe. Bottega Veneta, Khaite, and Staud are leading the charge with ultra-luxe versions that scream quiet luxury. Bonus points if it’s in a delicious neutral tone—chocolate brown, creamy ivory, or rich caramel. The Christian Dior saddle bag is returning with a vengeance here and she's not playing nice. I love it!
2. The XXL Tote
More is more, and this season’s tote bags prove it. Oversized totes aren’t just for airport runs anymore—they’re making a high-fashion statement. Look for exaggerated proportions and unexpected textures like woven leather or coated canvas. The Row’s Margaux tote, Saint Laurent’s Icare, and the Loewe Font Tote are already everywhere. Perfect for those who carry their life in their bag (no judgment here). Bottega's Pinacoteca is that girl.
3. The Retro Top-Handle Bag
Chic, structured, and just the right amount of vintage, top-handle bags are back in a big way. Whether you go for a boxy 1960s-inspired silhouette or a more delicate ladylike design, these bags bring instant polish. Prada’s re-released Galleria bag and Gucci’s Horsebit Chain iterations are some of the season’s best. My eye is on the Celine Teen Nino bag.
4. The Playful Mini Bag
Yes, they barely fit your phone, but that’s not the point. Mini bags are here to make a statement, whether they’re glittery, metallic, or shaped like literal works of art. Jacquemus, Coperni, and Chanel are making some of the most covetable ones, perfect for nights out or when you just want to flex your accessorizing skills.
5. The Slouchy Clutch
Clutches aren’t just for formal occasions anymore. This season’s relaxed, oversized clutches are the epitome of cool, effortlessly tucked under the arm or scrunched in hand. Bottega Veneta’s Pouch paved the way, but brands like Jil Sander and Khaite are giving us fresh takes that feel modern yet timeless. The slouchy clutch from Loewe is to die for, so chic and screams I have style.
6. The Utility Crossbody
Function meets fashion in this season’s crossbody revival. Expect to see structured-yet-relaxed designs with multiple compartments, luxe leathers, and wide, comfortable straps. Think Celine’s Triomphe, Dior’s Saddle bag, or the new iterations of the Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis. Ideal for hands-free chicness on the go. The YSL Gaby Vanity crossbody is the statement crossbody of the season. It'll be sure to turn heads for sure.
