When it comes to styling for the winter season, some things are obvious: knitwear, winter coats, scarfs, hats. But what about the stylings that really make your whole outfit pop? It's why we love the way our VIBs style themselves, with this season's it-bags at the ready!
Discover 6 bag styles to covet this season, and shop their wardrobes right here...
All In Chains
The chain bag is potentially the classiest bag of them all. Second-hand Chanel chain bags are still worth thousands of pounds, so look a million dollars carrying a chain bag across a faux fur jacket, or slung over a bare shoulder and mini dress.
Our Favourite Chain Bag Styles:
- Yasmine Chanel's rainbow resin detail chain bag
- Georgie Clarke's satin mini box bag with chain
- Lilah Parson's rose gold micro bag on a chain
Year of the Bumbag
Yes, they're here to stay. As potentially the bag of the year, the bumbag has been worn by the likes of Spencer Matthews, Jess Hunt, and almost every one of our VIBs! Just make sure to style it like Sam Fenton does - slung over one shoulder. Get these year's hottest trend before the year is out right here...
Our Favourite Bum Bag Styles:
- Spencer Matthews' Hugo Boss bumbag
- Sam Fenton's black and yellow strap bumbag and his red-and-white bumbag (as pictured)
- Jess Hunt's khaki linen bumbag
High Contrast
When it comes to styling, why not let your bag do all the talking? High contrast bags are in this season, and they can brighten up any outfit. Go matchy-matchy like Emily Valentine here, or add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit.
Our Favourite Contrast Detail Bag Styles:
- Layla Panam's bright yellow patent tote bag
- Emily of Stylelobster's Strathberry shoulder bag (as pictured)
- Lauren Pope's turquoise and purple crossbody bag
Faux Snakeskin
Snakeskin will always be in vogue, but more so than ever this season. Go full-on-trend with a 90's style bag, such as the shoulder bag, in a snakeskin print, or go for something more classic to wear every day. Either way, just make sure it's faux (and second-hand too!)
Our Favourite Contrast Detail Bag Styles:
- Vogue Williams' snakeskin effect mini shoulder bag
- Sayan Yildiz' snakeskin shoulder chain bag
- Sarah Ashcroft's classic snakeskin box bag
Bucket Bag
The bucket bag was potentially the most Instagrammed bag style this year, and it's been adapted into all our favourite brands' collections too - everyone from Kate Spade through to Bimba Y Lola! Pair with a day dress, and wear on your wrist for ultimate style points.
Our Favourite Bucket Bag Styles:
- Bimba Y Lola bucket bag
- Miss Gunner's red snakeskin bucket bag
- Lilah Parsons' playful Kate Spade green bucket bag that looks like a watering can!
Jelly Bag
And finally - the newest trend on our style radar is the jelly bag. Show off what's in your bag, and your bag at the same time! Styles go from acid brights through to clear panels.
Our Favourite Jelly Bag Styles:
- Shelby Tibble's red jelly bag
- Maja Malnar's GUESS backpack with jelly detailing
- Hayley Jones' orange graffiti jelly bag
