For any woman bags are important. Choosing the right one can make your outfit pop while choosing the wrong one can easily make you feel poorly dressed.
Bags are also important from a practical point of view. When it is very cold and wet having a nice belt bag to pop items like your keys and phone into is ideal. Belt bags are small enough to keep you organised so that you do not have to take your gloves off on a freezing cold day to find what you need.
This style of bag is also very secure, which makes them ideal for taking with you for your holidays or using in crowded places. The good news is that these small, stylish and practical bags are very much back in style.
Shoulder bags
A shoulder bag is the perfect compliment to any outfit. I love a good shoulder bag and actually have quite a few in my collection. They are perfect for day to day use when you don’t need to take out as much and can easily go from day to night use. A decent shoulder bag is something every women should have in her wardrobe.
Box bags
An interesting trend is the box bag. It has taken a while for boxy looking bags to come back into vogue, but now it has happened a lot of designers have included them in their collections. Most of them are not really right for casual use, although the smaller versions could work for this. If you are someone who likes power dressing these sharp looking bags could be just what you are looking for.
Textured bags
Texture always adds interest to an outfit, so this year’s animal skin bags are a bit of a boon. Expect to see a lot of crocodile and snakeskin being used.
But, if you do not like buying products that are made from animal product or look like they are, do not worry. You will still be able to treat yourself to a textured handbag.
This year, the Savile Row look is set to be very popular. There are some really nice clothes being made from tweed and old-school houndstooth fabric. The perfect way to finish off these outfits is to buy a handbag that features these patterns. Some designers, for example, Chanel, have gone as far as to make handbags out of the same fabrics used to make their dresses and other items of clothing.
Drawstring bags
With the party season just around the corner, now is a good time to start keeping an eye out for the right bag. Last year, it was all about the clutch. For 2018, the drawstring bag or pouch is set to be the must-have party bag. There are already some really pretty ones available, especially the ones that are made from satin or silk.
But, there is a bit of a problem with these bags. As you can see from this post they are very easy for pickpockets to steal from. You just need to be aware of this and take the necessary steps to protect your property.
Retro logo bags
Over the years, some iconic logo bags have been made by the world’s biggest fashion houses. The good news is that some of these classics are once again available. If you have the budget, look out for the latest Fendi and Gucci logo bags.
So, there you have it five stylish bags that have the potential to work for any woman. They are all very current, so you should have no problem finding them in the shops or online.
