The children are back in school. My Alexa robot had me hopping out of bed with the news it was 62 degrees this morning. And I just ordered floating “Hogwarts” candles to hang from my living room ceiling.
All signs pointing to saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall.
Fall fashion always feels the most versatile and I love how easy it is to totally transform an outfit with a handbag this time of year. Handbag trends feel fresher than ever this fall and I’m rounding up 5 handbag trends fashion scene expects to be huge in 2024.
1. Vintage Velvet Vibes
Think rich jewel tones with textures or embellishments that evoke nostalgia. A vintage-inspired velvet handbag can add that touch of glam to any outfit, whether it’s paired with a cozy knit dress or your favorite high-waisted jeans.
2. Structured Silhouettes
Structured bags with sharp, clean lines in unexpected geometric shapes are dominating the fashion scene. These silhouettes look sophisticated while adding a tailored touch to an everyday outfit. To try the trend without the spend, this $16 Amazon find makes a statement in multiple colors too.
3. Bold Colors and Prints
When you think of fall, muted and warm tones, often come to mind. This year, we’re breaking the mold with bold! Expected to see unexpected shades such as lilac, teal and yellow are making waves. A beaded pink handbag for fall, why not? Animal print seems to always be synonymous with fall and winter so it’s no surprise it’s expected to trend again. You’ll see fall florals bolder than ever across the board too.
4. Miniature Marvels
Tiny bags might be small, but they sure are mighty in the style department. Perfect for night outs out on the town or leisurely lunch dates, these miniature bags will fit the essentials. (This beaded bag from MANGO is the ultimate 90s throwback!) Go minimal with only your phone, a rouge lipstick, card sleeve and keys in colorful crossbody or beaded mini bag.
5. Sustainable Styles
If I’m investing in a more expensive handbag, for me sustainability is key. Eco-friendly materials and ethical practices are also on many minds in fashion this fall. I love seeing how many brands are now embracing artisanal craftsmanship, ethical practices, and using recycled materials. This not only elevates the products we’re shopping but consumers can now feel better about the choices they’re making too.
