Handbag trends 2022

handbag trends 2022 it bags

The 2022 IT bags are here, setting the handbag trends 2022 in motion. We are seeing a mix of continuing IT bags from previous years, a few classic handbags, and newcomers for 2022 which will knock your socks off. Ready? Let’s go!

The year is giving us small handbags which offer a simpler silhouette than we have seen in previous years. IT bags for 2022 are also offering retro vibes from the 1990s through to 2022.

Here’s a snapshot: The pouch; modern and continuing from the last few years. The bowler; retro vibes and new for 2022. See that small black Dior bag? It’s a classic IT bag you might have invested in years ago, it’s hotter than hot this year. There’s an IT bag for everyone this year, and I am here for it!

So, without further ado, here is a breakdown of the 2022 handbag trends:

Hobos bags: Hobo bags are a huge classic style from the late 1900’s, and they started to finally have a comeback last year. In 2022 you can expect structured, soft and slouchy, as well as moon shaped styles which will offer architecture and geometry. Look for circles and fun, rounded styles that aren’t exactly circle bags from five years ago.

The Pouch: this daytime clutch style is still running strong! Look for large, medium, and small sizes. Simple pouch bags and pouch bags with cross body straps or chain straps are also still hot. Keep wearing your pouch!

Bucket bags: The classic bucket is back, and there are two styles to covet this year. Look for classic buckets such as the iconic Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, or look for bucket bags which mimic a pail. There isn’t one standout, must-have bucket. If you have a Mansur Gavriel bucket in your closet, go ahead and rock it this year.

Small Square Tote: The tote bag is a classic which is always in style, but for 2022, look for small, square tote bags. All the designers are coming out with their own version of this iconic style. They are the perfect size for daily use without being huge work bags. Many square totes also include a cross body strap. Love that! The Dior style is the IT bag in this category but look for some fabulous affordable versions coming from Coach this spring!

Bowler Bags: The bowling bag is back! Dior launched a collection of bowlers for the cruise 2022 season, and they are already sweeping the streets. If you have the cash, this is the IT bag to invest in for 2022. I will watch for more affordable versions as the year progresses, and I will definitely share them with you! This is a great style which isn’t too big, yet still offers a good amount of interior capacity. Bowler bags are also less bulky than those large canvas statement totes everyone has been rocking the last few years from Dior.

Micro-mini bags: I’m not sure why this trend keeps on trending, but it does! The smaller and less practical your bag, the better! Look for small and nano sized bags from most designers this year. If you don’t need a place for your phone, then these are great bags. If you need a bag for your phone, go with the small size instead of nano or micro. Just sayin’.

Lady Bags: The Lady Bag is back, and she never really left. This is the single top handle bag which is a classic satchel or tote style. The Balenciaga Hourglass top handle bag is a big one for 2022. There are also plenty of choices in this style if the Hourglass isn’t your thing. Love this classic and chic style!

Well, those are the handbag trends 2022 we are watching this year. Now, in addition to handbag trends, we have the ultimate IT designers to carry around in 2022. After all, anything from these designers is considered an IT bag and can be deemed gold.

IT designers of 2022: Not interested in the exact IT bag from the streets, but want to carry an IT designer? Here is the IT list! Look for anything by Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Prada, Coach, Jaquemus, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes.

Of course, there are IT colors too! Luckily 2022 is all about a rainbow of hues. You can rock neutral hues such as black, shades of brown, beige, tan, ivory, and white, or you can look for bright colors from the rainbow. Pastel bags are good too, but the brighter, the better.

The biggest IT bags of the year are pictured in the collage above. Which one if your favorite?

Dior nail polish cruise 2022 review

The Dior nail polish cruise 2022 collection is here, and it’s both refreshing and fabulous.

Neutral and classic nail polish was a huge trend in 2021, and while bright colors, and happy ensembles will be hotter than hot in 2022, we are currently looking at more classic nail polish colors as we move into the new year. These timeless hues will balance our happy and bright looks this cruise, spring and summer 2022 seasons. Love!

For the cruise 2022 season, Dior is giving us fresh hues which make us want to book a yacht, go on a beach vacation, and basically go somewhere warm. Yes, I am wishing I was on a warm beach, or a desert vacation right now, but I digress. . .

The Dior cruise 2022 nail polish collection offers four beautiful colors for us to wear, so even if you are like me, and you don’t have a resort vacation booked, you and I can at least look like we are on a beach with our fabulous nails. We have a choice between feminine and classic pink with N**e Look, edgy neutrals with Cashmere and Tutu, or a dark beige-pink with Dansante. Love!

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the four fabulous hues from the Dior cruise 2022 nail polish collection!

Dior nail polish cruise 2022 | Dior N. . . Look 100

dior nail polish cruise 2022 review

Dior 100 is a beautiful classic, medium pink nail polish. The name has nothing to do with the color, and I cannot type it for obvious reasons. haha That being said, this is a classic pink, and if you don’t already own a good pink polish, this is a pretty one to invest in for 2022. We will be seeing more pink polishes as the year progresses.

Dior nail polish cruise 2022 | Dior Tutu

Dior Tutu nail polish from the Dior nail polish cruise 2022 collection is an orange-based beige which is a great, edgy neutral hue for the warm weather. It’s similar to colors other designers will be putting out for spring, so if you prefer Dior but admire the trendy nail polish colors that designers release, this is a great investment, not only for the cruise seasons, but well into the spring season too.

Dior nail polish cruise 2022 | Dior Dansante

Dior Dansante nail polish a dark beige with purple-pink undertones. This the darkest polish from the cruise 2022 collection by Dior, and it’s the best color for transitioning from winter into the resort season. I am currently wearing Dansante and I love it! I plan to wear it for a while, or at least until I start to get more in a cruise season mode. Since I am writing this a week before Christmas, my head is still in the holiday season. haha

Dior nail polish cruise 2022 | Dior Cashmere

Dior Cashmere is a light and feminine neutral with slightly orange undertones; or you could say peachy. This is a great nail polish if you like wearing a lot of color or, if you prefer your nails to blend into the background. Cashmere is the best color for a conservative, office environment too.

Well, there you have it! Four fabulous hues for the cruise 2022 season by Dior. Which color is your favorite? I am currently wearing Dansante and love it!
