My Style Is Simple, and These Are My Favorite Fall Handbag Trends

So by now, you’ve heard about my favorite
overarching trends for the season ahead, the sweater trends I
think are worth buying, the best new boot
styles to invest in, and more. Judging by the headline of this
article, I’m sure you’ve guessed that handbags are next—and
why shouldn’t they be? In my opinion, if there’s any season for
which to buy a new purse, it has got to be the year’s most
stylish one: fall.

Speaking of my opinion, however, I know that the selection can
at times be overwhelming, no matter what
price point you’re shopping in or what you’re looking for.
So as I’ve done with some of those other categories, I thought
I’d hone in on which trends I think are worth focusing your time
and money on if, like me, you consider your style to be not too
out-there, not too boring, just simple (and cool). Curious to see
and shop what made the cut? Keep scrolling for all seven handbag
trends I’m into this fall.

Leopard,
snake, zebra, you name it! Any animal print goes, and yes, it’s as
hard for me to choose just one as it is for you.

Classic
but very trendy right now. It’s hard to choose favorites,
but based on what’s currently in my closet, this might be
my number one trend.

Fall
and winter mean furr everything, and this season, that includes
your purse. Whether it’s through a trim or the whole thing, give
your look some texture with a shearling (or faux-shearling)
bag.

While
I’ll always be a mini-bag devotee, there’s no denying the big-bag
trend for the season ahead—and how functional it is for daily
life.

I’m
a sucker for this trend because it really does make even the
simplest bags instantly cool. Of course, the detail also
complements a statement bag perfectly.

Mock
croc is the bag trend that I hope never dies, because it looks
expensive at any price and is a subtly sleek addition to any
outfit.

Last
but certainly not least, the baguette-style shoulder bag, which has
been trending hard for a few seasons, continues to gain traction
into fall with more and more covetable styles coming out every
week.
