4 Bags To Party With This Season

Fancy finishing off your outfit with the latest must-have bag this festive season? These on-trend designs are perfect for going from day to party time, all you have to do is pick the one that suits you. From embellished chain bags to traditional saddlebags, there’s an F/W 18 bag trend for every taste. 

It can hardly be described as a brand new trend but chain-link shoulder bags are back in a big way this season. Seen on catwalks at Balenciaga, Tom Ford, Fendi, and Alexander Wang, it’s a relatively easy look to master. Whether they are big and chunky or thin, delicate and embellished, this season’s chain-link shoulder bag is perfect for party season. Think anything from a simple, single strap to triple-rows of chains. You can wear them with almost anything but bear in mind, if your accessories make a big statement, it’s better to tone down the rest of your outfit. If you’re in need of a little inspiration, check out the Gucci bags selection.

Oozing glamour on this year’s Fall/Winter catwalk was mock croc. In patent black and deep earthy hues, the embossed leather look is a great go-to style for party season. Its vintage appeal and eye-catching shine stole the show at Louis Vuitton, Marni, Tory Burch and Versace with designs varying from quirky clutches to bucket bags and satchels. To wear this look over the party season just ensure the rest of your outfit is as luxe as your must-have accessory.

There’s nothing quite like warm caramel and tan tones to update your look in the cold winter months. This season was all about these butterscotch hues in a variety of shapes and sizes. Joseph, The Row and Mulberry all showed off the rich, autumnal tones on the catwalk. From bucket bags and rucksacks to clutches and super-totes, go for the right shade over style. That said, if you want this look to work for you this party season, go for more structured designs that will give your outfit that sophisticated edge. Alternatively, you can keep it super simple with a clutch. The beauty of seasonal tones is that they work for both day and night, so it makes sense to choose a piece you’re also comfortable going about your daily life with.

Western-inspired designs were also spotted all over this season’s catwalks. From boots to fringed jackets, it’s clear the cowboy influence is big for Fall/Winter 2018. A key part of this trend has proved to be the traditional saddle bag which was seen at Loewe, Chloé and Calvin Klein. The beauty of the saddle bag is how versatile it is. Take Chloé’s iconic designs like the Nile and Tess bags which feature detachable shoulder length cross-body straps. The result is a useful bag that can be worn casually around the shoulders by day but transforms into a clutch by night. Finally, when it comes to choosing a shade for your saddle bag stick to natural-looking leathers and suedes for a timeless feel.
