Well, since there are two types of handbags I am loving right now; I had to split them into two photos by type! The top photo is my hobo bag capsule wardrobe, and the bottom is my pouch bag capsule. These are the two handbag styles I am loving to wear this winter season.
The handbag trends we will see this winter 2022 season will include hobo bags, pouch bags, small totes, bucket bags, and micro-mini bags; and as we move into warmer weather in the spring season, we will see more straw bags-just like last year! So, for right now, in the winter season, I am rocking the hobo bag trend, and the pouch bag trend. Love them!
Structured and slouchy hobos are everything right now. So, I have a mix of both styles, as well as differing colors. I hope to add an ivory hobo to my collection soon. I also have a mix of pouch bags for both casual and dressier occasions. I love having different colors and sizes, it helps mix it up. I love the pouch bag trend, it’s fun!

The new year is bringing us updated handbag trends to look forward to! We have a few new trends, as well as a few continuing handbag trends to enjoy. Love! Without further ado, here are the top five winter 2022 handbag trends to look forward to!
1. Bucket Bags
Buckets bags are back! If you invested in a fabulous Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, then you are all set! Or, you might want to add to your collection. Bucket bags for winter 2022 include small versions of the handbag style, as well as round, pot-like versions. Look for the size and silhouette which suits your style and lifestyle. You can’t go wrong with a bucket bag!
2. Hobo Bags
This continuing trend from 2021 has been tweaked! Winter 2022 will offer both structured and slouchy hobo bags. Any shape of a hobo bag is hotter than hot for the winter 2022 season, as well as into the new year. Look for small, medium, and large versions of hobo bags. You cannot go wrong with any hobo bag. Choose the silhouette and size that makes sense for your lifestyle and personal style. This is a great everyday bag you will find yourself reaching for all the time. It’s about time the hobo bag came back to the handbag throne!
3. Micro mini bags
Micro-mini bags are back in style, and the trend is huge! Unfortunately, the size is not. If you like to carry a lot of items around, you know, things such as a phone, wallet, etc., you might be out of luck. This trend works when you only carry lipstick, one credit card, and a housekey. Hey, I can do this for a formal event when my husband has roomy pockets in his suit. Otherwise, I choose a larger bag; but that’s just me. You do you.
4. Metallic Bags
Metallic bags are hot right now. While gold bags are the current trend, the rest of 2022 will bring more metallic hues to choose from, and to covet. Pick a metallic hue that works for you, and you’ll be hotter than hot as you move through the 2022 year.
5. Pouch Bags
Pouch bags are still here! While this handbag trend has matured, pouch bags are still hot on the street, and flying off store shelves. They are turning into a great daytime or evening bag since pouch bags are roomy and chic. Love this trend! You might already own one, so you’re all set for 2022! If not, pick one up in a neutral color so it has staying power.

There you have it! The top 5 handbag trends for winter 2022. Which one if your favorite?
Well, the return of the soft hobo bag is here! The last couple of years we have watched as the structured hobo bag remerged from IT bag hibernation. As it became one of the most important styles in the handbag world over the past year, the soft hobo decided to join it, and return to the world of must-have handbags; and I’m here for it!
The soft hobo is the ultimate street style IT bag. This handbag style has a naturally casual vibe to it, and soft hobo bags also happen to be extremely popular as an everyday, go-to handbag. This makes the soft hobo bag very common on the streets, and well loved by people everywhere. This is the people’s handbag.
Soft hobo bags were extremely popular in the 1990s, and they trickled into the early 2000s. Sadly, they were replaced by the rise of the structured satchel which enjoyed popularity for well over a decade. As the structured satchel moves back into office-gear, the hobo bag remerges as the bag to own.
Hobo bags are fabulous because they are lightweight, can be worn on the shoulder, and can easily be placed on your lap, or behind you on a chair while at a restaurant. They are easy, everyday handbags which generally fit everything we all need to carry around on a daily basis. Love that!
Structured hobos reemerged first, and they were a great transition from the satchel since they offer a structured silhouette which can be worn casual or dressy, as well as with office attire. As we move into 2022, we are looking to expand our hobo bag wardrobes, and the soft hobo bag fits the bill. This unfussy handbag style gives us a go-to, casual look which has an effortless, chic vibe. Plus, who doesn’t love the soft fabrication of the hobo bag?! Love!
Although I have a large, soft black hobo in my archives, I wanted something smaller, with a pop of color. My clothing choices have been neutral and dark lately, so adding some color to my capsule through a handbag seemed like a fun way to jump into the soft hobo bag trend. Isn’t this a pretty red?
I love this small, soft hobo bag for everyday use. You can check out my review here. It has an effortless chic vibe which I love; especially when I really don’t want to try! haha
This top and jeans are my go-to look right now. I have been changing it up with different shoes and handbags. I wore this look to go Christmas shopping with my daughters the other day, and we also popped into Din Tai Fung for some yummy dumplings. My bag fit nicely underneath my napkin, on my lap. If you are always wondering where to put your bag when you dine out, check out my post about it here.
What are your thoughts on the soft hobo trend emerging for the new year? Are you excited about it too? Do you plan to rock it?
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
