Get Ready — Slouchy Bags Are Taking Over
No structure, no problem.
The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the sweet scent of cider and pumpkin spice is filling the streets. Welcome to autumn, my absolute favorite time of the year. It’s the season for layering where fashion takes on a cozy, elevated vibe, and accessorizing fall looks becomes pure joy. And of course, with every new season comes a new bag.
While more structured shapes may have dominated in past years and season, a more laid-back, slouchy style is materializing for fall. Effortless and full of character, these bags have little to no natural shape, but that’s the charm. The more you fill them, the better they look. It’s all about that relaxed model-off-duty energy that feels both chic and comfortable. Perfect for the cozy season, don’t you think? Picture yourself strolling through the park, grabbing coffee with friends, or even heading to a fancier dinner party. The slouchy bag moves seamlessly from casual to more elevated environments without a hitch.
