A bag in the modern world is not just a stylish accessory for a girl. It can become both a bright accent, make you the star of streetstyle chronicles, or complement your everyday look with jeans. Is there a perfect model? Some of the iconic examples of 2020 have become the object of adoration of bloggers and Hollywood stars, and will be popular in new season 2021... I tried to collect the most interesting options that are in the greatest demand, and the very brands that conquered the world fashion capitals.

1. CROSS BODY & SHOULDER BAGS

The list of top accessories opens with the most popular and most demanded model, in which a long strap is added to the short handle for carrying in the hands for comfortable carrying on the shoulder. It combines comfort, minimalism, laconic lines, convenience and practicality. Cross bodysuits are adored by the most fashionable girls in Paris, London and New York. This is one of the largest segments that many brands invest in. For example, a luxurious luxury 2.55 shoulder bag from Chanel or a youthful and daring one with the emblem of two swallows, like the brand of the middle segment Pinko.



What to wear with? "Cross body bag" and its simple or, on the contrary, voluminous textures will perfectly fit into a summer outfit with an oversized jacket, in spring - with a cotton or eco-leather trench coat. An excellent option with an autumn down jacket or a quilted jacket, with a winter coat, a sheepskin coat or eco-fur coat.

BRANDS: MARC JACOBS, FURLA, PINKO, MICHAEL KORS, KARL LAGERFELD, YVES SAINT LAURENT, GUCCI, CHANEL, CAROLINA HERRERA, POLENE, SEZANE, GRAFEA and many others in the luxury, middle and mass market segments.

2. SADDLE BAG

The classic, sophisticated lines of the rounded bottom and the rigid shape of this model have already become canonical and recognizable elements. An absolute must-have of almost every season will tell about the owner of such a model that she is attracted by simplicity, but at the same time prestige and luxury. After all, choosing this option, you definitely show your good taste. "Saddle bag" combines in its design both high cost and laconicism.



Let's figure out what to wear a "saddle" with. These models have absolutely no contraindications in combinatorics. Light romantic chiffon dress and Cossacks? Or maybe a winter coat and rough boots? Yes, you can easily imagine her in such complex outfits, and in basic sets with jeans and white sneakers. Such a bag will fit and fit into most images and stylistically will look appropriate.

3. SHOPER

Practicality and minimalism are the main ingredients of a cool shopper. And yes, he is still one of the controversial models. After all, some girls like to carry with them a maximum of necessary things that fit perfectly in such bags, while others cannot even find a phone in them.



How and with what to wear a shopper? It will perfectly complement images in the style of minimalism or casual. The texture of soft nappa leather or eco-leather looks much more effective and harmonious than fabric, precisely due to such a large volume and area. Wear a shopper bag with a quilted coat or sheepskin coat and rough boots, with a wool coat or a cropped Teddy coat.

BRANDS: JIL SANDER, LOEWE, COINS BRAND, MANGO, MM6 MAISON MARGIELA, # 21, COS.

4. BUCKET BAG

The functional, though not rectangular, shape will make your bow look trendy. Perhaps it will not become an it-bag for absolutely every girl, but it can definitely be an actual base for many. The most famous basket that has become a cult and went down in the history of the world famous Fashion House is the Jane Birkin Wicker Basket. Now the wicker options for baskets have been transformed, materials and finishes have changed, and we see already modern models that can be easily imagined on the streets of the city.



How is the bucket bag worn? Fans of minimalistic design can definitely rejoice, because such a bucket will complement both casual and romantic, and even dramatic looks. I will add that this is still an accessory with French chic, so in frankly sports bows it will not look quite appropriate.

BRANDS: DANSE LENTE, STAUD, CULT GAIA, KARL LAGERFELD, MANGO, ATOMY.

5. BAG

Bags will be a nice addition to your fashion arsenal, as many companies, including Fendi and Gucci, create these colorful and unusual bags. Quite a romantic accessory that reminds of satin handbags of the past decades with its sophisticated mood, when girls went to the theater with a small reticule embroidered with beads.



How to use interesting bucket bag options in a modern wardrobe? Of course, they will work best for an accent in the image in the spring-summer season, but if this bag is made of leather or eco-leather with fabric elements, then in winter it will be appropriate with down jackets or quilted coats. Now you shouldn't pay attention to any rules or prohibitions. Yes, there are things that are more relevant at certain times of the year, but choosing the right material can extend the life of your bag.

BRANDS: LOEWE, FENDI, ZARA, GUCCI, FENDI, CAROLINA HERRERA.

6. BAGUETTE BAG

This masterpiece of fashion culinary has not left the catwalks for several months. If you prefer personal comfort, aesthetics and minimalism, then feel free to take this model. In design, most often there is nothing complicated, but at the same time it is harmonious.



What to wear "baguettes" with? They can be complemented by an outfit with a delicate slip dress and mules, a suit with an oversized jacket and neat kitten hills heels, with jeans, a simple white shirt and sneakers. In its recognizable oblong and rather small form, there is a reference to aristocratic lines, so it will add a touch of nobility and elegance to the image. Baguette is more than an accessory, it is a beautiful finish to your look.

7. DUMPLING BAG

The Bottega Veneta "the pouch" clutch has become the object of desire of all fashionists. It has become a modern mainstream and has now firmly entered the daily life and wardrobes of all fashionistas in the world. The thing is that they perfectly complement both an evening look and a casual look, where jeans and a T-shirt are an excellent background for a soft dumpling.



Now many brands have responded to the request and offer their options in various shades and textures at the peak of their relevance. Natural leather or artificial fabric, puffed or with pintucks, with decorative elements. One of the coolest trends of the past summer was soft dumplings with massive chains. They fell in love with the boldness that the gold metal links add, and at the same time the calm shape of the bag itself, which allows them to be worn even with business suits. In fact, most likely it will turn out to be one of the models, like the "saddle", and will firmly take its place in the wardrobes of not only fashionistas and fashion bloggers due to the fact that it is insanely comfortable and will fit into any outfit.

BRANDS: BOTTEGA VENETA, COINS BRAND, ASOS, MANGO, NA-KD.

8. BAG HOBO

We saw her more than once on the catwalk in the collections of the spring-summer 2021 season and now this model is experiencing a powerful rise. Choose according to your taste - laconic or more voluminous, puffy or quilted, from mesh leather elements or elements in the form of knots of fabric on the handles. It can be considered as versatile as a shopper, but more sophisticated and feminine.



To integrate a “hobo bag” into your everyday wardrobe, you don't need any special stylistic knowledge. Since this model is pretty standard, it fits almost any look. The main thing is not to choose too voluminous if you are short. Also, corpulent women should not choose fluffy bags, risking adding centimeters at the waist or hips, since the bag when worn is most often located in this zone.

BRANDS: MANGO, STAUD, ZARA, CELINE.

9. MINI BAGS & SOCKS IN HAND

This trend for micro and mini bags is already on the wane, but not all bloggers want to part with them.But the models with short handles, designed specifically for wearing in the hands, are an excellent alternative to catchy street style trends and at the same time no less relevant. Rather, on the contrary, they are so unusual and so feminine due to the absence of a long belt that many girls will like it.



British and French companies picked up this wave and offered their cute and romantic options. These accessories are not just a fashion highlight. They reflect the character of their owner and add cute charm or cocky mood.

BRANDS: POLENE, SEZANE, LOEWE, AESTHER EKME, JACQUEMUS, M2MALLETIER, BY FAR, THE ROW, CHLOE, ZAC ZAC POSEN, LEMAIRE, OFF-WHITE, COINS BRAND, ASKENT BRAND.

10. UNUSUAL MODELS

If you are tired of classics and want to focus on individuality instead of trends, then choose fresh versions of well-known models - a crescent moon, Ruejina Pyo boxes, in the form of animals, cameras, quilted, rare and unusual shapes, decorated with beads or from natural materials, like the sensational Cult Gaia. European bloggers and global trendsetters often choose non-standard solutions or bright accent colors for their outings at Fashion Week.



There is no single way to use it in everyday looks, because it is, first of all, a fashion accessory and only then a practical bag. If you want to become an Instagram star, you will have to choose a non-trivial color or style.

BRANDS: REJINA PYO, CULT GAIA, WANDLER, YUSEFI, ATOMY, DANSE LENTE, STAUD, GABRIELA HEARST, BALENCIAGA, ACNE STUDIOS, OSCAR DE LA RENTA.



Choose what reflects your personality and will delight you with vivid emotions. Go for a daring experiment, or choose something that will be a cool base and fit into your style DNA and showcase your taste.
