The Basic Bags That You Can’t Live Without

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from watching our fair share of fashion shows, it’s that you can never have too many bags. The popular styles may change season after season, but the truth of the matter is the one that you carry is crucial to not only your wardrobe, but your life.

Keeping up with what’s “in” at the moment isn’t always necessary. As long as you have this collection of basic bags in your rotation, you’ll always be good to go.

The Backpack

We aren’t talking about your doodle-covered canvas one from high school. You need a backpack that’s all grown up and is up to par with your A-plus style, like an all-black one with minimalistic hardware, to carry when you have a heavy load.

The Clutch

Think of the clutch as your nighttime companion. It’ll go with you to a dinner date, the club, or wherever else the evening takes you. It should be small enough to hold only the essentials, yet bold enough to make a statement against a little black dress.

The Tote

When you find yourself racing in and out of the office, to and from meetings, the tote is the one bag that’s guaranteed to keep up with you. Big enough for your computer and files, its streamlined, rectangular shape can still be just as chic as the rest of your workwear.

The Weekender

Sometimes you just need to get away for a bit. And when you do, you should leave all your baggage—figurative and literal—behind.  A weekend bag has ample room for everything you’ll need for a short getaway, and it’ll prevent you from overpacking like you normally do.

The Crossbody

Even on your days off you can find yourself all over the place thanks to a busy agenda. As you run all of those errands, a lightweight crossbody will always have your back.

When it comes to bags, one size does not fit all. But with these five styles, you’ll always be more than prepared for whatever life brings.

You can't have just one.
