Far from fading into the background, bags were even bigger—quite literally–on the fall and winter runways. This trend comes as a relief, as we finally re-started our old routines, being out and about, longing for more than just cute micro bags, perfect only for glam night-out. Whether you're looking for something shiny and new like a fabulous chain-link bag, or simply need a back-to-work accessory boost (maybe a very polished single strap shoulder bag?), I've broken down the biggest winter bag trends for you.
1) Extra-large geometric totes Is bigger actually better? These bags will argue yes. For winter, ditch your multiple carrying vessels for an extra-large tote that can handle your laptop, an extra pair of shoes, and so much more.
2) Chunky chain-link bags More posh than punky, chunky chain-link bags are still trending. Choose the season's "it" bag with either a gold or silver metal to suit your style.
3) Soft Shearling and faux-fur bags won't just live on winter jackets this season. They're leaving their huggable mark on handbags too.
4) Lock bags The Chloé Paddington bag was once the talk of the town and all fashionable girls possessed one. This winter, locks are having their moment yet again. There's no better way to secure your goods than with one of these padlock-adorned purses.
5) Single-strap shoulder bags A bit retro and undeniably-sleek, these single strap shoulder bags can be handheld or conveniently cradled under your arm.
6) Coin-purse-closure bags the traditional coin purse got a stylish, modern revamp.
