Do you feel like you’re always the last person to get on the handbag bandwagon? No worries! In fashion, there are always new trends popping up to replace old ones, meaning you can still be fashionable even if you were late to the latest trend. Although it might be hard to believe that it’s already time to start letting go of some of your favorite handbag trends, we have some news that will make your day: these seven handbag trends are actually on their way out.
1) Designer Mini Bags
First, let’s discuss the difference between a mini bag and a clutch. A clutch is a small handbag that is usually carried in the hand or tucked under your arm; it can be used for evening wear or as a day time accessory. A mini bag is also called a tote and can be worn over the shoulder or across the body, making it perfect for those days when you need your hands free.
2) Sling-Bags
Sling-bags are one of the hottest trends this season. They’re perfect for carrying your purse in a more hands-free way. While they look really cute, they don’t have as much functionality as you might think. To start with, slings are not very deep and can’t hold many items without looking bulky. Plus, because they’re so narrow, they make it hard to access anything at the bottom of the bag without pulling everything out first.
3) Bucket Bags
Bucket bags are essentially the equivalent of a mom bag or purse. They are great for carrying around kids stuff, groceries and other items that you need close at hand. The downside is that they don’t look very chic and can make you feel like you’re carrying your whole life around with you. If you’re looking for something more stylish to take to the office then these bags may not be for you.
4) Backpacks
Backpacks are an excellent trend that is not going away any time soon. They are great for carrying your laptop or tablet and other things you need to get through the day. You can find backpacks in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your needs. And since backpacks are so popular right now, there’s never been a better time to invest in one.
5) Oversized Canvas Bags
If you’re looking for the bag of the season, then canvas is not for you. Oversized bags are a trend that has been around for a while and is definitely not going anywhere. So if you have been waiting to get your hands on one of these trendy-trendy pieces, it may be time to break out your wallet. They are perfect for taking with you to concerts or festivals because they provide plenty of room inside to hold all your necessities.
6) Shoulder Bags with Cross Body Straps
The good news about this trend is that it’s not too late for you to hop onto the bandwagon. You’ll be able to find plenty of great shoulder bags with cross body straps at places like H&M or Zara.
7) Totes
Totes bags are popular with women because they can use them as a tote bag and carry their belongings in style. Totes bags are usually made of canvas or other durable material. They also often have a zipper closure which helps keep everything inside the bag secure. Tote bags are very useful for everyday life and shopping trips alike!
