Bags. They are handy for carrying stuff in but they are so much more than that. They are also accessories. An expression of your personal style. So next time you’re on the search for one, keep in mind how it will fit with your vibe and current wardrobe.
Crossbody
These bags are so comfortable to carry around. They’re perfect for a day when you have your hands full since you just sling them across your shoulder. No fuss. Your hands are left free for other tasks.
Straw Basket
This is suitable for warmer months or when going grocery shopping. The veggies remain fresh as opposed to when put in plastic bags which don’t allow free flow of air. Straw baskets add a punch of style to your outfit when attending outdoor festivals/ concerts.
Tote
If you’re a sucker for big bags, totes are for you. They are quite roomy thus work well for those days you can’t decide what items to carry and which to leave. Choose lightweight totes on days when you aren’t carrying much. For an office setting, leather is the way to go. On weekends bring out that canvas tote- sturdy enough to carry heavy items.
Day Clutch
If you’re able to limit the number of items you carry, a day clutch is a perfect alternative to a handbag. Go for one with multiple pockets and is wide enough to fit your items. You can pop the clutch inside your handbag, then carry it when going for lunch.
Leather Satchel
This is a heavy duty bag that can fit almost anything. Muted colours like brown and black work best since they match with most outfits. They are less likely to show scratches when they occur, as compared to light coloured bags. Remember to pick a bag according to your frame. Petite girls look awkward with oversized bags. If you have a bigger frame large bags are best.
Shoulder Bags
These allow for greater mobility than satchels since you’re not carrying them with a handle. They are sporty yet chic. Shoulder bags come in various types and materials- just pick one that gels with your style.
