My Dream Designer Bag and 16 Less-Expensive Ones I'd Buy in the Meantime

When it comes to fashion items, there's basically no better investment than a designer bag. Depending on the brand, they've proven time and time again to hold their value, making it a great thing to save up for. Currently, the investment-worthy bag I can't stop thinking about is none other than the Gucci 1955 Horsebit Shoulder Bag. 

Every time I've decided to save up for a designer bag, the bag has veered classic and timeless. Who wants to spend a lot of money on something that's going to look dated in just a matter of time? Introduced last year, the Gucci 1955 bag is based on a decades-old style, which is certainly a good sign, and the medium-sized saddle-style bag is incredibly versatile. Plus, that horsebit detail is as chic as it gets. I'm partial to the logo-printed iteration (that's been the most popular among the fashion crowd), but I'd be a proud owner of any one of the all-leather styles as well.

Although the Gucci 1955 bag is completely worth the wait, I'll be the first to admit that the waiting game is no fun. When there's something I really want, I can't stop thinking about it (I'm sure you know the feeling), so to tide myself over, I chose 16 less-expensive ones that I'd be thrilled to carry in the meantime (and beyond). Scroll to shop my dream bag (and see how some of fashion's most stylish are wearing it) and a selection of other bags that I'd be just as excited to own in the meantime.

Model Adwoa Aboah hit the nail on the head with this perfect look.
Caroline Issa shows how cool it looks worn as a crossbody.
Maria Bernad's red-trimmed iteration is investment-bag gold.
That print just never gets old.
So good with a suit.
The size of the bag makes it so functional.
Jo Ellison is one of the many fans of this dream bag.
Staud updated its popular Moon Bag with ruching, and I love it.
This bag makes me think of spring like no other.
I love the unique shape of this one.
More likely than not, this will be an It bag by summer.
Simon Miller never disappoints.
I bet Kendall Jenner can't wait to wear this one.
A little business, a little party.
I can't believe this sculptural Yuzefi bag is on sale.
The It bag shape of 2021, hands down.
I'm a sucker for a statement strap.
Guaranteed to make even my most boring outfits exciting.
Not every bag needs to be a statement bag.
I can't resist a little beading.
This color palette goes with everything.
I'm starting to think that I should probably go ahead and get an orange bag.
Way to make a statement.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
