Fall is right around the corner, and that is the perfect time to update your wardrobe with a new handbag or two. Here are some of the most popular styles that have been spotted on the Fall 2015 runways that will be making their way to stores near you.
A different silhouette is trendy every season. This fall, it is square. Handbags from top designers range from boxy cases to softer styles with four distinct corners. Even top-handle purses and cross-bodies are being made in square designs.
Clutches are stylish, but a handbag with a handle is much more practical. This season, designers are showing off slouchy clutches with straps just wide enough for a wrist to make bags easy and comfortable to carry.
Furry bags are another trend that was seen all over runways at Fall 2015 shows. No matter the size of the handbag, the style is more about the texture than the volume of fur. Handbags can be covered with wispy strands of fur or heavy layers.
Delicate chain straps are a common feature on luxury handbags, but a new trend this season is chunky chain straps made from plastic or Lucite. This can add an edge to a standard bag and help the wearer make a bold statement.
The fringed look that was popular in the 1970s is back. Fringe has been adorning jackets, skirts, boots, and accessories all over the runways this year. Bags can be decorated with fringed tassels or completely covered.
Age-old fashion rules said never to match your handbag to your shoes, but a new trend this year is to match a handbag to a dress. The pieces match not just in terms of color, but also in texture and fabrication.
Exotic prints, especially snakeskin, are in vogue this season. They are showing up on the runways in both natural colors and shades of orange, red, and green.
