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!

How did summer get here so quickly? It’s been a hectic last few weeks, so summer break crept up on me and now we are here! I am finding these are the handbags I reach for on warm weather days, and plan to rotate through this summer season.

I am loving small handbags right now. They are fuss-free and just hold the basics. This black convertible bag is a mainstay in my handbag rotation, and this green bag is turning into one of my favorite go-to’s. Of course, I also reach for this beautiful top handle bag frequently too. Since I am not ready for the oversize “everything and the kitchen sink” bag trend that appears to be trying to happen, I am rocking my small handbags until I cannot rock them anymore. haha

What would summer be without totes? Of course, a large beach tote is a given, but small basket bags, woven bags, and small totes are hotter than hot this summer season. I love this classic basket bag, which also happens to be an IT bag. I also love this small tote which fits more inside than it appears. It’s my version of the “everything and the kitchen sink” bag! Of course, it is much smaller than that! Thankfully!!

Who doesn’t love a pouch? The pouch trend is still going strong, so keep your pouch bags and wear them this summer! I love wearing this fun chain pouch for dinner and going out. This smaller pouch is a great everyday bag. It works at night too, but I love it as a daytime bag.

Spring 2022 handbag capsule wardrobe from top left: black Prada hobo / red slouchy hobo / small black convertible handbag / pink bucket bag / small yellow pouch / chocolate brown chain pouch / yellow tote bag (in stock soon, larger version here) / bright blue tote / black top handle bag /

As you know, spring 2022 is all about smaller handbags, and lots of colors! In addition to small and colorful, we are looking at handbag styles for spring 2022 which can be found in many of our closets. The hottest handbag trends for spring 2022 include the bucket, the small tote, top handle bags, the continuation of the pouch and the hobo handbag.

Since I was a huge bucket bag fan seven to eight years ago when the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag reached its insane IT bag status, I knew I had this trend in my closet to shop. While spring 2022 is bringing us new versions of the bucket bag, I prefer to stick with the classic that I already own. I decided for spring 2022, I would pull my pink bucket bag out of the back of my closet. I have found myself reaching for it often already! It’s so easy to wear and has fabulous interior capacity. Plus, the light pink hue freshens up a foggy day and adds a touch of spring to my overall look; even in my workout cloths. haha Mansur Gavriel has a lot of really pretty colors in stock for spring, just in case you didn’t invest in one the first time around. You can see them all here.

The small tote bag is a great returning trend too. I had this blue tote bag in the back of my closet, and it’s still in stores! I love how small tote bags give the illusion of being a small handbag but are actually quite roomy inside. The cross body strap on most small totes comes in handy too. Love that!

This fabulous yellow tote was from Coach’s spring 2022 runway. They released a small batch right during New York Fashion Week, but plan to release more very soon. I will keep you updated for their in-stock return! In the meantime, they do have larger versions of this classic tote online. I love the neutral hues and the green.

The hobo bag and the pouch are continuing to be hot in 2022. So, if you already invested in these two styles, keep wearing them! If you don’t have a hobo yet, you can still invest in one, they will stick around awhile. Love!
