How to choose a bag with which you can go for more than one year without fear that it will lose its relevance? Place a bet on the base. This is a win-win. Trends come and go, but these patterns remain.
I will not write to you that you should invest in a bag. Invest in stocks, bonds and ETFs in the stock market. Everyone determines for himself a comfortable amount that he can spend on a bag. If you can buy something more expensive, that's great, do it, because basic bags are not for one year. If this is not possible, take what you can afford. Or save up for a dream bag (I know many have one), if that's acceptable to you. It's up to you to decide.
An article about bag trends for fall-winter 2021/22 will be released next week, you can subscribe so as not to miss it.
Tote bag
A universal model of a bag that you can already love with all your soul only for its spaciousness. An excellent everyday choice for study and work, it will fit everything you need, while the structured look fits perfectly into a school or work wardrobe. Of course, it is also suitable for walks or trips.
A tote is a structured, well-shaped bag that can range in size from medium to large. The shape is always clear, well-defined, trapezoidal, rectangular, square or with rounded edges. In addition to short handles, there is often a long strap. Thus, it can be carried in the hands and on the shoulder.
If you are a petite girl, choose not the largest sizes, so proportionality will be observed and the image will look more harmonious. However, if you really want to, of course, you can hooligan and break this rule. The choice is always ours, I never get tired of talking about it.
Shopping bag
The shopper is also the base, a great everyday option for those who like to carry more than just a wallet, keys and phone. Nowadays shoppers are very popular, it is not a problem to find them.
Shopper and tout are similar, however there are differences. Tote always has a more strict shape, while the shopper can be both hard and soft. The tote often has a shoulder strap, while the shopper only has short handles. The shape is also different, the shopper is always a rectangle or square, but the tote bag has more options. Shoppers usually do not have a fastener, additional compartments and pockets, a tote bag (but also not always). Many brands have blurred the line between these models.
Choosing a tote or a shopper is up to you. What you like best, then take it. They are united by versatility and excellent capacity.
Crossbody bag
No season is complete without this model. A small handbag, which is worn over the shoulder, fell in love with very many, which is not surprising. I myself simply cannot imagine my wardrobe without it, thanks to Coco Chanel, who promoted it to the masses. Now you can find the recommendations of stylists to wear a cross-body not diagonally, but simply on the shoulder.
The basic cross body comes in a rectangular, square or rounded shape, and it can also be in the shape of a saddle (remember how hot the saddle bag was back then?).
Here, too, it is important to remember about proportionality if you want to get a visually harmonious image. On girls with appetizing shapes, larger bags will look better, and vice versa. Compliance with proportionality is the golden rule for choosing the perfect bag, although in trends it can sometimes be violated.
