How we selected the best fall bag trends
As someone who writes about fashion every day, I basically eat, breathe, and dream about all things clothing and accessories. So, when it came to finding the best fall bags, I wanted to curate this list to reflect the hottest trends of 2024, with options for every budget. Combining input from what our team is currently loving and a trend hunt on social media, we came up with this list of several fall trends that everyone is embracing this season. Some of these trends are a bit bolder, while others are unique takes on classic styles. Regardless of your taste, our selections pair well with any fall look.
Chocolate Brown
Nothing beats a deep, rich, chocolate brown. Without fail, it seamlessly ties together any autumnal outfit and is easily the color of the season. Our selection below allows you to have fun with this classic fall hue while mixing it up with a unique texture or style.
Suede
Don’t shy away from this fall bag trend because it can be hard to take care of—suede just gets better with time! It’s known that this material instantly makes any outfit cozier and more fall-appropriate, and bags are no exception.
Studs
Studs can be intimidating to incorporate into your wardrobe, but trust me: They add just the right amount of flair to any look. Studded bags are edgy, but can be done minimally for a subtle effect. They are my favorite way to elevate an outfit without going too far out of my comfort zone. Plus, if you’re more of a neutral girl, studs add the perfect bold touch.
Woven Details
While woven bags aren’t a new phenomenon, various styles of this classic design are making their debut this fall. We’re seeing this woven design take form in slings, bucket bags, and, of course, oversized totes. There’s no denying that this trend will never go out of style, but try something different by choosing a fun shape.
Slouchiness & Slings
A personal favorite trend of the season, I’m a sucker for anything with a slouchy silhouette or crescent shape. It also helps that this style is extremely flattering and can easily dress up or down any look, depending on the occasion. Add one of these bags to your go-to outfit formula, and voîla—you have the perfect fall ensemble.
High Shine
The secret to elevating any outfit and making it look a tad more luxurious is investing in a chic bag with a high-shine look. Maybe it’s because anything shiny immediately catches my eye, but I just know these bags will have people doing a double-take.
Bucket Bags
In my opinion, bucket bags are an underrated style, but they’re making a splash this fall. While this design has a bit more structure than most bags, it’s the perfect size to fit all your essentials. Our selection below has all the fall colors you’d want—and won’t be able to resist adding to your cart.
Bag Charms & Chains
Yes, even your accessory needs an accessory. This newer trend is something we’re certainly trying out this season because it’s just too cute to pass up. You can have fun with themed charms or opt for a staple keychain that you can easily clip onto any bag. And if you’re not sure how to pair a charm with your purse, a bucket bag is the perfect size to test this trend on!
