Bags. A neverending love story. Or, to put it in Carrie Bradshaw’s words: ” I think men have a similar relationship with their eggs to women with their handbags. It may be a small bag, but without it we feel in public defenseless “. “Sex and the City” is hopelessly outdated in terms of the image of women, but with this sentence we agree with Carrie. Because with a handbag, the outfit only feels completely complete and without being naked in any way. Right?
Bag trends 2020: These handbags accompany us throughout the year
The nice thing is: This season, too, there are countless cool models for every occasion and taste – from elegant to casual, from mini to maxi, for parties and the playground . We present our top trends and tell you how you can combine the It-Bags 2020.
The practical one: Crossbody Bags
Hands free and the Crossbody Bag works everywhere! At the party, while shopping, on the way to the office, worn over a trench coat or leather jacket, combined with a midi dress or jeans . Shoulder bags will delight us in 2020 with long and medium-long straps, made of teddy fur, natural materials or made of smooth (synthetic) leather .
There are no no-gos with this bag, except maybe: not to wear it.
The minimalist: Micro Bag
Hello where are you? The XXS bags are so small that we have to look for them with a magnifying glass. Basically only a lipstick fits in (and with a version larger than that the smartphone). Nevertheless, the micro-bags that adorned the models for the Jacquemu s label on the catwalks in 2019 will still be a trend in 2020. Maybe because this bag proves once again that the fashion industry doesn’t always take itself so seriously. Or quite simply: Because the micro bags are sweet as sugar.
This trend in bags needs an elegant outfit , which means jeans : yes, but with high heels , please . A blazer or high-quality coat goes with it .
The unusual: wicker look
Padded, braided, quilted: whatever you call it – the look of the bags is very popular in 2020. The pioneer was the creative head Daniel Lee from Bottega Veneta. In terms of color, they cover a whole range. So we carry the pretty handbags in earth tones, but also in bright colors . Since a braided bag is a little more extravagant in itself, it should stand on its own. Means: Use styling in contrasting colors . The best thing to combine with a beige model is a dark blue outfit; Conversely, with a cherry-red pocket variant, you prefer to use muted tones such as brown or camel . Reach for rough boots and a cropped jeans – that’s the casual look.
The oversize: XXL tote
The micro bag trend contrasts with tote bags in a maxi size. Your half bathroom really fits in here (which, admittedly, also has disadvantages). Whether plain black, made of fabric, jute or leather: the tote bag comes in many different designs and becomes crossbody, in the elbow or simply in the hand – provided that the good piece does not slide over the floor.
You can let off steam with your styling, because the shape of the bag looks great with trousers and a satin dress, as well as with jeans and a t-shirt .
The elegant one: Baguette Bag
The legendary Fendi baguette bag is a timeless classic and is considered the first ever it bag. Not least because of “Sex and the City” the bag became world famous because Carrie carried the part through the streets of New York. The bag, which first appeared on the market in 1997 , got its name because it can be clamped over the shoulders and directly under the arm – just like a real baguette.
For the real French look, you can combine the elongated shoulder bag with the short handle to an oversize blazer, jeans and ankle boots .
The statement bag: maxi clutch
With “The Pouch”, Bottega Veneta designer Daniel Lee did what Fendi created with the baguette in the 90s : an icon under his pockets. The XL clutch in the crumple look was allowed to move in with all well-known influencers. The cost of the label’s larger maxi clutch: from 1,500 euros and up. Fortunately, numerous cheaper models have now crept into the market.
The styling of the soft maxi clutch ranges from super chic (for example with high heels and a maxidress) to elegant and casual (in combination with a power suit and sneakers ). You can either carry the handleless bag relaxed at waist height and pinched under the arm or hold it in one hand.
