Since spring weather has arrived, I have already pulled out my spring capsule wardrobe for 2026. When it comes to handbags, my tried and true favorites will be front and center. Love!

As far as handbags are concerned for spring 2026, the anonymous handbag is still king. Handbags should be investment worthy and offer high quality construction as well as practicality. Love this era in handbags!

Spring 2026 is all about the belted tote, early 2000’s IT bags, pops of color as well as classic neutral hues, and drawstring bags. While I have a soft and slouchy drawstring pouch bag, I don’t find myself reaching for it, so I didn’t include it in this post.

My favorite handbags for spring 2026 are my small, belted totes, my Balenciaga City bag (moto style), my little green loop bag, this classic black shoulder bag, and my beloved caramel top handle bag. These are the bags I find myself reaching for often, and they are currently getting the most use.

My larger bags will be perfect during the day, and my small shoulder bags will be perfect in the evening, as well as days when I want to carry a smaller bag.

What are your favorite handbags for the spring 2026 season?

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Handbag capsule wardrobe summer 2025

My summer handbag capsule wardrobe for the summer 2025 season is casual and carefree. I love the slouchy, effortless look of these bucket bags, and my little east/west handbag is perfect for everyday. This straw tote is a fun, beachy tote which can be customized with initials, a name, or a little phrase. Mine says “Jet Set.”

Of course, I also reach for my caramel top handle bag and belted tote often throughout the week. These are my current bags on rotation. Love them!

As we look toward the handbag trends for summer 2025, we are still seeing the anonymous handbag, east/west bags, slouchy bucket bags, belted totes, and seasonal straw handbags. Also, spending thousands of dollars on a handbag is currently out, while purchasing sensible, high-quality handbags at a reasonable price is “IN.” Your bag shouldn’t be easy to identify, and it shouldn’t break the bank. That’s the “IT” bag of 2025. Love that!
