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!

Handbag capsule wardrobe spring 2025

Loving that the anonymous handbag is still hotter than hot. This year we will see a continuation of logoless IT bags. The silhouettes of the season will continue to be east/west bags, slouchy buckets, hobos, studs and grommets, belted totes, doctor bags, shades of mocha, and classic black.

Although I have a spring handbag wish list, my spring capsule wardrobe continues to be my investment bags from last year, and farther back in time. These silhouettes continue to be popular in 2025 and show no sign of slowing down. I love a high-quality handbag without an obvious logo!

In 2025, the new IT bag is one that people cannot recognize and is also reasonably priced. Gone are the days of paying for a name and not quality. IT bags are all about high quality, fair pricing, no logos, and an “If you know, you know” vibe. Seen as IYKYK on social media. haha

So, this spring season and beyond, look for high quality, unknown handbags. Love that!

Handbag capsule wardrobe fall 2024

I love the fact that beautiful, high-quality handbags are still important in fashion and street style. Logo bags are still being stored in the back our closets, so this fall season, we get to wear handbags we love with small brand emblems or no logo at all. Love that!

Handbags for the fall 2024 season include hobo handbags, small totes, east/west bags, north/south totes (I have one on my wish list), and classic shoulder bags. Doctor bags are making a comeback too. Lastly, we are also seeing an emergence of box totes in varying sizes. I have one on my wish list too!

In addition to silhouettes, neutral hues, black, shades of dark red including burgundy, and olive green are hot for fall. We are also seeing more suede this season, but for me, I would ruin a suede bag on day one. I just know I would spill something on it or set it down somewhere. If you think you can wear suede incident-free, go for it! For me, I plan to stick to regular leather.

So, this fall season, these are the bags from my collection I plan to have on regular rotation. I also hope to add two more, a north/south tote and a small boxy tote.
