Fall 2025 continues to be able soft silhouettes, autumn hues, and timeless style. Love! So, for my fall 2025 handbag capsule wardrobe, I am continuing to wear my favorite handbags in various sizes in order to ensure I have something for every occasion.

Suede continues to be hot for fall, so this suede tote and mini bag are perfect for when I need to carry everything and the kitchen sink, or when I barely need anything with me. Also, this black east/west bag is a handbag I find myself reaching for almost every day. It’s the perfect size and comfortable to wear. Love that!

My caramel top handle bag and belted tote are also great sizes for everyday wear, and they elevate even the most casual outfit. Love them both!

Lastly, this high-shine black hobo bag is fabulous for evenings out, and its flat width makes it easy to hide underneath my napkin at a restaurant. Love that!

Fall handbag trends 2025

Fall 2025 handbag trends are hitting store shelves, and they offer cozy autumn vibes, quality, and anonymity. Love!

The anonymous handbag continues for the fall season and is showing no sign of moving to the back of the closet. So, keep those logo bags in storage and continue to rock your beautiful handbags. The fall 2025 season is all about quality, personal style, and investment handbags.

For the fall 2025 season, we are seeing a continuation of the handbag styles we have been enjoying these past few seasons. In addition, chocolate brown is moving to the front of the pack and proving to be the most important color of the season. Thankfully, it is also a classic color which means we can invest in chocolate brown handbags and more; without any guilt. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are the handbag styles stealing the show for the fall 2025 season.

Chocolate brown: We already know shades of mocha are hot for 2025, but the deep shade of chocolate has moved to the front of the pack. This is a timeless hue, so feel free to invest without any spending guilt!

The belted tote: Belted totes are continuing to be hot as we move into the fall 2025 season. Since it too is a classic style, this is a great investment tote for seasons to come. Your belted tote can be small and hold essential items, or it can be large to hold a laptop and the kitchen sink. Invest in the size which fits your lifestyle and tote needs.

The east/west bag: This horizontal style is still going strong, so you may already own a few. If not, feel free to invest in a shoulder bag style or double top handle style.

The slouchy north/south tote: Sometimes mistaken for a hobo bag, the slouchy north/south tote was hot last year and continues to be hot this year. There are plenty of styles under $300, so you don’t need to break the bank to find a nice one.

Suede: This is the fabrication of the moment, or should I say the year? Or the current era? Suede is hot and showing no signs of slowing down. I recommend staying under $1000 when it comes to suede. This is a leather which can be susceptible to weather and can be hard to clean. I love my suede bags, which all cost under $500. Suede does give you the ultimate slouch! I have to admit I am a fan! Just not on rainy days. . .

Hobo bags: The hobo is still going strong! You can wear a slouchy hobo, structured hobo, and anything in between. The hobo is hot.

Moon shaped or circle bags: Handbag which convert from a half-moon to a circle are hot. Also, circles are hot. Stay round.

Neutral hues: In addition to shades of mocha, including chocolate brown, handbags for fall 2025 are in neutral hues. Look for black, mocha hues, white, ivory, beige, tan, and navy. Seasonal hues such a deep red and dark green are also acceptable. Otherwise, stay away from overly trendy colors. They are not hot.

There you have it! Shop your closet for these styles first, then fill in with what you want to invest in! Love that!

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more fall coverage coming up!
