The 5 Handbags Women Should Own

These Are The Only Bags Women Need

Hi Friends- Do you know, “The 5 Handbags Women Need In Their Closet”? In today’s “How To Style Tip” weekly video, I share the only bags you need in your wardrobe. These 5 essential handbags are the bags for work, events, and day-to-day that will help you complete any look.

The five bags I’m recommending as your essential handbags, should be investment pieces. These are the 5 bags you’re going to use in your wardrobe again and again. As long as they’re classic and high quality they will last for years. Diane Coletta of Petite in Paris writes, “The best rule of thumb to follow when it comes to what to look for when analyzing your handbag collection is quality vs quantity”.

The right bag can instantly complete your outfit and make you look and feel put together. Even in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, having a designer bag elevates an otherwise basic look. If you’ve ‘bagged’ bringing a handbag to a wedding because you didn’t have one that worked with your outfit, then read on.

5 Handbags Women Should Have

1. A DAYTIME NEUTRAL CROSSBODY BAG.

Neutral handbags could be blush, gray, ivory, nude, or beige. A neutral crossbody bag will probably be the one on this list that you’ll use the most. It will work with almost any outfit and be easy to bring along for your day no matter if you’re picking up the kids from school or going to the grocery store.

2. A BLACK CROSSBODY HANDBAG.

The key to an essential black bag is that it works from day to night. The Saint Laurent one below is the one I use all the time. I can style it with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt for daytime, but it also easily elevates my look for a night out as well. A black crossbody bag will be one of the most used handbags in your closet and as such is worth the investment.

3. THE BLACK EVENING BAG.

Your black evening bag can be a variety of classic styles but the key is that it’s more elevated than your black daytime bag. It’s a handbag that’s dressier for going out and can even work for weddings and events. Some elevated details include a metal chain, smooth leather, and delicate hardware like the 2 options below.

4. A POP OF COLOR BAG.

Even though a pop of color bag will not get as much use as a neutral or black bag in your closet, it’s an easy way to add color to your look. I especially recommend styling a monochrome or neutral outfit with a pop of color handbag. The style can be whatever your preference is. One thing I suggest is that you have a neutral and a black bag first before investing in your pop of color handbag.

5. THE CLASSIC NEUTRAL TOTE BAG.

A classic neutral leather tote bag is the final handbag every woman needs in her closet. If you have small kids or don’t work in an office, this style might work better in a material like canvas. But having a structured bag that can fit your computer, notebook, etc. is a wardrobe essential for every woman.

If you have some version of these five bags in your closet you’ll never have an issue with what bag goes with your outfit because one of these always will.
