A designer handbag is the perfect accessory to elevate any wardrobe and make it look chic and modern. Invest in a quality handbag to make a statement in 2016. Here are some trends to look for when shopping for your new handbag.
The bags that are expected to be the most popular in 2016 will have simple shapes. Structured bags can take several forms, including a box bag with a square or circular shape, a classic bag with sturdy lines and a long shoulder strap, and a versatile tote with vibrant colors and details and a shorter handle. Bucket and messenger bags offer structure with a more relaxed and slouchy appearance. A fold-over clutch has a slouchy shape that can work for both day and evening.
Choose a large bag for day and a mini bag for a night out on the town. You can also have a medium-sized fold-over clutch to look fashionable at any time of day or night.
Embrace a bag made with luxury materials such as suede, fur, exotic skin, cowhide, or soft leather. These materials were popular on the runways in shows from Coach, Tod’s, Ralph Lauren, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton. You can also choose a bag with a seasonal finish and modern silhouette, such as Victoria Beckham’s shiny acrylic and Perspex and Chanel’s bright metallics.
Choose a bright and cheerful spring color, such as blue, red, yellow, or green. If you would prefer a more neutral shade, go with black, gray, or white. Metallic shades look ultra-modern when worn with white. Matching clothing and accessories is a popular trend this season. You can juxtapose that with undone hair or smudgy eyes.
Quirky details are expected to be big this season. Celine has introduced a twin-colored bag with a leopard print strap, and Louis Vuitton has LV logo bags in lollipop colors. You can choose retro patterns, graphics, or fringe for a bold fashion statement or a subtle accessory.
