Fall 2022 is upon us! This means shifting our capsule wardrobes into the new season. For the fall season, handbag trends are shifting along with the weather, so a few minor adjustments to my handbag capsule are in order.

Shoulder bags are back. They are displacing cross body bags as the daily go-to bag of the season. This doesn’t mean you have to store your cross-body bags. They are handy for running errands and more. That being said, if you want to snap a picture of yourself for the gram, quickly move your bag to your shoulder, snap the pic, and then go back to wearing it cross body. The fall season is all about the shoulder bag.

Speaking of shoulder bags, the hobo bag is also a type of shoulder bag. As you know, hobo bags are hot, despite consumers slowly adopting the style. There are plenty of styles to choose from. You can go for a soft hobo, structured hobo, large hobo, small hobo, or moon shaped bag. The moon shaped bag is the IT silhouette of the season! I love this one for under $500. It’s always fun to rock a hot trend without breaking the bank.

For the fall season, I am keeping my handbag capsule neutral with the exception of my little green bag. I love this little green bag and the bright pop of color it offers. I highly recommend having at least one fun color in your fall 2022 handbag capsule wardrobe!

While not pictured, bucket bags are huge this season! I do plan to wear mine; I just didn’t photograph them. You can go with a classic Mansur Gavriel bucket or test out their new version which offers a top handle. It’s on my wish list!

Coach Luna bag review

Coach Luna bag review

How cute is this handbag! One of the big trends for the fall 2022 season is the moon shaped handbag. The new Coach Luna bag is the perfect moon shaped bag for rocking this trend while looking chic. Love it!

The moon shaped handbag trend arose from the hobo handbag trend. It is a slightly more structured version of a hobo without being a larger handbag. Moon shaped bags offer the hobo look without the bulk that comes with a hobo bag. This is a great handbag style for minimalism while being on the cutting edge of current handbag trends. You know I love that!

As soon as the Coach Luna bag popped up on the Coach website and in stores, I fell in love. This handbag is the right size for all of my daily essentials which include a wallet, lipstick, keys, and phone.

In addition to holding my daily essentials, there is still room for sunglasses or other things I need to pop inside my handbag. The Coach Luna is a great size for everyday wear.

One of the things I love about my Coach Luna bag is that the leather is amazing! Coach is known for having high quality leather and craftsmanship at affordable prices. With the Luna bag, Coach does not disappoint. This handbag is made from strong, pebbled leather and offers superior craftsmanship. I am really impressed with this bag, especially for the price! Who doesn’t love a fabulous IT bag under $500! I know I do!

Inside the Coach Luna bag you will find one open pocket. This pocket does not fit a phone, but it does fit folded bills and credit cards. If you don’t want to carry a wallet, this is an optional place for those items. I am just using it to fold and store receipts to keep my interior organized.

Shoulder Bags for fall 2022

Shoulder bags fall 2022 from top left: classic black bag (see my review here) (under $500) / caramel and chain strap bag (under $1000) / black square bag / dark brown and gold shoulder bag (under $1000) / floral clasp handbag (under $500) / ivory stamped croc handbag /

The pendulum is swinging back to classic and quiet handbags, and I am here for it! Logomania is tired. This fall is all about timeless quality; a move back towards investment dressing and understated luxury. No matter the price range, a chic box bag is the ultimate shoulder bag to carry this fall season. Love!

Shoulder bags for fall 2022 are structured, not soft. They also tend to be square, or close to being a square. If you see a shoulder bag which is an obvious rectangle, it belongs in the east/west category; which is also a chic silhouette for the fall season.

If you have been following along, you may have seen my review for the DeMellier Vancouver bag. This is my new shoulder bag for fall and I am in love with it! The pebbled leather is soft, yet the bag offers that classic and on trend structure we all crave this fall season. Since I purchased a black bag, I may add another structured shoulder bag from the above collage in another color. I love the ivory bag and maybe something in caramel or light beige.

You might be asking yourself if your Chanel flap or 2.55 will work for the fall season, and if you have one, you the answer is yes! Although the classic Chanel shoulder bags tend to be rectangles, they are structured and classic. You can rock them during the day as well as into the evening. So, stop letting them accumulate dust in your closet and wear them! I have a chocolate brown classic flap I plan to pull out for fall. Maybe my ivory 2.55 too.

Another thing this fall, we are going back to wearing our handbags on our shoulders, not cross body. Of course, if you are running errands or chasing a small child, by all means, wear your bag cross body and free up those hands! If not, it’s time to go back to wearing your bag on your shoulder. That’s what’s hot!
