Fall is coming! I can see it on the calendar. Now, if only the weather would cooperate and start being fall-like, everything would be as it should.

This fall season, we are still seeing timeless style, as well as classic autumn vibes. I love all the autumn hues, soft suedes, and classic feel of the season. Now, we just need the leaves to turn, and the temperatures to lower.

Nail polish this fall season is mostly pink with a few greens popping in. After all, in fashion, green is the color of the season, so of course it would be on nails too! Love!

Suede is taking over as the fabric of the moment. We are seeing it on more than just shoes and handbags. Suede jackets, coats, skirts, and tops are hotter than hot this fall season. So, watch for it if you love suede!

Handbag trends fall 2026 from top left: city bag / caramel top handle bag / classic black handbag / east/west black bag / suede handbag / black shoulder bag / belted tote / black tote /

The fall 2026 season is upon us, which means the hottest handbag trends for fall 2026 are here! That being said, personal style transcends trends, so pick the style which works for your lifestyle, not because it is perceived to be “hot.”

Ok, let’s dive!

The overall vibe for fall 2026 handbags includes the continuation of The Anonymous Handbag. Continue investing in handbags which are high quality and don’t shout who made them. Logos are still quite gauche.

In addition, continue to rock those vintage IT bags, belted totes, and east/west styles. They are still all the rage!

So, when it comes to fall, check your closet for these styles, and invest in what you need, want, and must have in your investment bag collection!

Autumnal Hues: Rich browns, reds, and especially greens are hotter than hot for fall. This fall looks a lot like fall when it comes to color. So indulge!

Suede: Suede is a fall favorite; suede handbags are everywhere! You might have one or two which survived last season, and if not, invest in a new one within a reasonable price range. After all, suede is soft and nice when it is new, but it is easy to stain, and it does not like getting caught in the rain. So, keep the suede bags at a reasonable price so if they get ruined, you won’t care.

Doctor Bags and Bowler Bags: These classic handbag styles are gaining popularity; not that they ever went out of style, but, look for both styles as well as the two fused together. Is it a bowler? Is it a doctor? Eh, who cares! It’s cute!

The Shoulder Bag: Classic shoulder bags are hot but tucked in the armpit like last year. This year’s straps should hit around the bottom of your ribcage. Chances are that you already own one. If you have a classic Chanel flap or 2.55, this simply means wears the strap double. Love that!

Well, there are the notable fall 2026 handbag trends to seek out in our closets, and possible fill in our closets with something new. Love! Which trends matches your personal styles?

Faux leather pencil skirt for fall

wearing: gold hoops / knit top / fall nail polish / faux leather skirt / handbag / shoes c/o Lonza /

I love the look of leather skirts, but I always feel like I am walking on eggshells if I wear one. So, when I spotted this faux leather skirt, I was drawn to its durability and worry-free composition. Plus, it looks like leather and was priced under $50. That’s win/win. Love that!

To complete the look, I paired my faux leather skirt with these fun flats from Lonza Shoes. I love the soft leather and edgy style. The square toe is emerging, and I love it!

Since we have had some fog int he mornings, I decided to wear my fall outfit to meet my friend Dawn, from Fashion Should be Fun, for brunch in downtown Los Gatos at Southern’s Kitchen on Main Street.

The food at Southern Kitchen is always delicious, and they have a cute parklet where you can enjoy your meal outside. The weather was perfect and we had a lot of fun chatting. If you are local, I highly recommend checking out Southern Kitchen. It’s on Main Street. You’ll love it!
