Structured bags are the new IT bags for 2021
COVER STORY / 2021-04-07
Minimalism feels like a more relevant approach than ever for 2021. There is something rough, effortless, yet sexy about dressing that 2020 has taught us. There’s a shift in how we see fashion and this vibe was very much welcomed in SS’21 fashion shows. We think it has something to do with an unsaid ‘clean slate’ sensibility in the industry right now. This new beginning makes us want to stay edited and focused.
Minimal bags are perfectly clean and effortless accessories to carry with any outfit. If you're eager for an edgy bag, consider structured bags with sleek silhouettes.
Let’s face it, at this point, no one really knows how often we will be relying on our handbags. But it's safe to assume that no matter what the new norm ends up being, buying versatile accessories like structured handbags will always sound like a good idea. After all, Spring 2021 is closer than it appears. Sifting through all the glorious newness that the spring and summer runways brought us not too long ago, we're reporting the biggest spring bag trends overall. We're here to hone in a bit tighter and share with you the most important trends of 2021.
1. Two-dimensional
This new two-dimensional or perfectly structured handbag shape is one we are very excited about. Resembling flat 2-D surfaces, these handbags are practical in terms of storage, and boy, do they make for a sleek piece of arm candy! Think versatile hues, such as neutral tones. While a classic cream or brown bag makes the most sense if you're going for practicality, you can still match your ensembles with a bi-color style. Structured bags will seamlessly coordinate with your wardrobe, we bet.
2. Candy-colored
This one’s a perfect upgrade to the iconic '80s pop-culture bags. Choose a structured shape for a retro feeling that combines the best of popping colors. We've seen major fashion houses lean into this trend, and we're calling it the best investment style for 2021. We saw structured handbags of all shapes and sizes come down the runway in some of the brightest and boldest hues we've seen in a while. These candy-colored bags are what you can count on to breathe new life into your wardrobe come spring.
3. Micro Cross-body
This is one of the easiest trends to get started with, given the crossbody strap. But, we do understand how some of you who are used to carrying your world inside your bags, might be appalled by it. Well, we love how this ‘structured’ way to wear your micro bags takes any look to the next level. Keep the rest of your accessories minimal, put your mobile phone in your tiny purse and you've got the look.
4. Tie-dye
Tie-dye has had a huge moment this past two years, and though the winter is warming up, we're not ready to completely say goodbye to the print just yet. So designers are finding subtle ways to flaunt this style with a few additions to our structured handbag collections.
5. Circular
Crossbody that can also be used as a clutch, or get a belt bag that can also be worn as a crossbody. Either way, your circular structured bag will be a head-turner.
Whether your plans for 2021 include achieving career growth, traveling more or being the healthiest version of yourself, we know you're not going anywhere without the perfect handbag. Step into 2021 with brand-new structured arm candy. If we haven’t said it enough, this is the hottest bag trend of the season. Mind you, structured bags also come with cool details like feathers, chainmail, and beads, so there's really something here for everyone.
