New York Fashion Week is underway, and as a result, Pantone has released the color trends we can expect to see for the upcoming fall/winter 2024/25 seasons.

Autumn anyone? The fall 2024 color palette from designers in New York is a classic return to an autumn color palette. We are seeing traditional, earthy hues which blend together and create a peaceful and organic vibe. Love that!

My three favorite colors from the fall 2024 color report are Aventurine, Italian Plum, and Winter Sky. I love shades of blue and green as well as a deep plum thrown in. I don’t really gravitate towards reds or oranges, but they are definitely traditional for the fall season.

I am in love with the neutral hues being shown for the fall 2024 season. Raw Umber, White Swan, and Baritone Blue are fabulous, and I definitely look forward to incorporating those hues into my cooler weather wardrobe.

What do you think of the traditional color palette for the fall 2024 season?

Chain bags for spring 2024

Don’t you love it when a classic style is hot on the streets? I do! The classic chain handbag, popularized by Chanel’s famous classic flap shoulder bag and 2.55 shoulder bag, is hot by any designer right now. While the anonymous handbag is hotter than hot, the chain bag is right there along side it.

Chain shoulder bags for spring 2024 should be as classic as possible. Steer clear of logo fabric bags and stick to smooth, exotic, or quilted leather. You want your chain bag to be timeless, and an investment for your overall wardrobe. You can choose a seasonal pastel, which will work every spring season for years to come, or go for a black or neutral hue you can wear all year long. It’s up to you and what you need in your handbag wardrobe. Love that!

If you have a collection of Chanel bags with chain straps, you’re good! If not, there are several designer, mid-range, and affordable chain bags on the market you can choose from. Personally, I love the ones by YSL, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Coach, and Tory Burch. They are chic and timeless.

Also, if you are jumping on the TikTok “Mob Wife Aesthetic” trend, chain bags are perfect with your faux fur coat and large hoop earrings to complete this look.

Here are a few fabulous chain bags from around the web you can shop online:

What do you think of the chain bag for spring? Are you a devoted fan of the look? Or will you continue to resist one of the most classic handbag styles of all time?
