What’s in the bag? Apparently, everything.

Fall 2017 is going to see the emergence of super large handbags and totes. I mean, pack-your-furniture-in-a-bag large.

This is a beautiful Tory Burch bag, and is certainly on-trend with the ultra-large bags for fall. As with all trends, though, a question you need to ask yourself is, “is this trend for me?”

One of the best things you should know is your style personality. This extra-large bag trend works well for Dramatics and Creatives. Those who are Elegants, Traditionals (although the check pattern is a fit), or Romantics will have a tough time making this trend fit their true styles. And, for sporty Naturals, this tote only works if it’s used for sporting goods!

Even if this size of bag works for you, you’ll need to find one in the colour and pattern that fits your style. While I personally love the rich texture and pattern of this handbag, the hounds-tooth might be too traditional for Creatives, for example. I do encourage you to think outside the black handbag. Consider luxe fall colours so the bag complements your wardrobe.

If you do choose a super large bag this fall, be sure not to stuff it full, or it will be very heavy to carry. Also, stuffed bags don’t look as nice as bags with some room. Finally, when you open your bag, nothing should spill out.

Have fun with your fall selections, but remember to stay true to your personal style so that you are comfortable wearing your clothes and handbags often!
