I'm a Handbag Expert—Shoppers Are Gravitating Toward These Trendy Bags the Most
If you love gorgeous accessories (like me), you're going to be quite intrigued by what's coming your way. Yep, I'm here to talk about my favorite subject, handbags. Specifically, I chatted with Lara Osborn, senior procurement director at luxury resale brand Fashionphile, to uncover what she thinks are the top silhouettes of the season. Given that it's her job to more or less be a handbag expert, she seemed like the perfect person to ask about trending styles.
The bag trends in question are not only It bags by Osborn's definition, but they are also favorites because shoppers are gravitating toward these specific investment-worthy styles at Fashionphile. These are the front-runners and the styles people are engaging with the most right now. I'm talking about items like statement-making, colorful finds and sleek logo picks.
With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out a few of the best summer 2021 handbag trends along with insider tips from Osborn. There's also visual inspiration, complete with pre-owned shopping picks from Fashionphile if you're looking for a designer investment piece. There are other chic options sprinkled throughout as well.
"Quite literally, logos speak for themselves and show up as repeat monogram prints, hardware formed into initials or motifs of the house, and, of course, boldly printed lettering. If we can take a history lesson from the king of all monograms, Louis Vuitton, we know that logos in some shape or form are a perma-trend, which makes buying bags with logos a smart investment choice. If you're the type who grooms your closet often to make room for new pieces, then you've probably noticed that bags with some type of recognizable logo are a sure thing for a quick sell.""There is a certain kind of freedom that comes from carrying not much more than a phone, keys, and AirPods, which is why we're seeing no end to the nano-, micro-, and mini-bag trend.""It never seems to be the wrong time for pastels lately. There's the downright spring/summer vibe in fresh hues that we seasonally expect… and then there's the (now) timeless pastel trend that seems to find new life even in fall and winter. It could be that many of us missed the better part of two spring seasons in recent times, so our nostalgia for pastels runs strong. Staying on-trend with archival pastel bags is now easier than ever.""While chain straps aren't new, the sheer heft of some chain looks will make you do a double take. Surprisingly, they're not nearly as heavy as they appear and are well suited with a nice puffy silhouette. Chanel quite possibly reigns supreme when it comes to who does the iconic chain best.""Savviness comes in all forms, even in pouches. When a bag can also be an organizer, a wallet, a travel case, and a solo piece carried by itself, it's hard to say no. For next-level savvy, slip a thin shoulder strap through the top, and you'll wonder what took you so long to figure out this little luxury hack. We just love seeing how these pouches show up 'in the wild.'"Flawless for summer.A staple.Make that statement.Bring polish to any look.Adorable.A nice travel bag.Baguette bag, anyone?Gorgeous colors.A beauty.
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...

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...
