What Are We Wearing?

The return of oversized practicality in fashion makes me smile with the comeback of bold, oversized bags for late summer into fall. These versatile pieces are not just for busy professionals or moms on the go; these large, catch-all accessories are now gracing the arms of trendsetters and style icons alike.

Tote Bags

Gone are the days when fashion meant sacrificing function for form. Today, the spotlight is on bags that do more than just look good—they work hard to keep up with our on-the-go lifestyles. Roomy totes in luxurious textiles like fine leather, raffia, and suede provide gorgeous texture and feel while carrying everything from your laptop to gym gear, snacks, cosmetics, and beyond.

Hobo & Shoulder Bags

It's not only about dimensions; modern oversized handbags come in chic designs from top designers looking to expand on classic shapes, proving that practicality doesn't have to be dull. Expect to see everything from sleek leather options like the famous Row Hobo Bag to a plush, exaggerated suede shoulder bag from YSL, all designed to blend seamlessly with any look from day to night, stateside or overseas.

Crossbody Bags

This resurgence in oversized bags signals a broader trend toward blending style with utility. Everyone's favorite utilitarian handbag is none other than the crossbody bag. Now featured in extra-large designs and finished with luxurious details like puffed leather straps and cozy quilted patterns, crossbody bags are perfect for travel and weekend wear. Your next crossbody is sure to be a regular in your accessory rotation.
