Michael Kors Gray Bags for Modern Minimalists

Minimalist fashion honors clean lines, neutral color palettes and great tailoring—its aesthetic, almost soothing. Which is why the perfect wear-with-all bag can be hard to find. Black brings a lot of emotional baggage (formal, edgy and generally a heavy hue) while bright white could be considered cursed with how many spills and stains it attracts. But for a bag that finds the perfect balance, Michael Kors brings out his sleek, modern designs in soft, sophisticated shades of gray.

Not too bright, not too dark and wearable with anything from ivory to navy, the gray bag is a carryall you can wear with all. But we do have a few suggestions.

An Architectural Tote

Alongside an appreciation for tailoring, a minimalist is the master of pairing oversized pieces. But there is no need to pick between the two. The next time you slip into a soft silhouette (think: long vest over wide culottes) bring structure to your look with an architectural tote.

A Quilted Carry-All

An outfit made up of desaturated monochrome separates lets each garment’s unique lines speak for themselves. For a purse that can fall into several different palettes from blue-grays to golden-beiges, opt for a mix between the two with greige. This is the perfect opportunity to give your outfits an interesting textural element, so pick a purse with a quilted finish.

A Small Clutch

Tailoring is key to a figure-flattering look, and the sharp lines created by the structured pieces are sleek. But too many harsh lines interrupt the zen approach to dressing that you’re going for. Tone things down with a simple clutch or small crossbody bag and put the balance back in your look.

If you’re looking for a bag that can carry its own weight in your well-curated minimalist closet, then your go-to should be a Michael Kors gray bag.

Here is your Michael Kors moment of zen.
