Move aside micro purses. Thanks to the fashion set's growing affinity for the practical and timeless, Le Chiquito and its kind appear to have lost their street style luster. Their usurpers? Since the Fall 2023 shows, seriously oversized totes have dominated both on and off the runways.
You probably already own one, but at Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, Loewe and more, designers made a case for updating the perennial wardrobe staple. This season's XL handbags come in prismatic shapes, mood-boosting colors and texturally rich materials, like woven leather. They're functional, yes, but still sure to stand out in a crowd.
For tips on styling your mega tote, look to celebrities like Zoë Kravitz and Gigi Hadid. The two are regularly seen sporting supersize handbags from The Row and Givenchy, respectively. Complement your voluminous arm candy with simple, clean lines. For your outermost layer, pick a color that contrasts that of your tote. This way you'll distinguish your silhouette from that of your hardworking handbag.
