This Controversial Bag Trend Is Becoming a Thing

Just when you finally figured out how to get all the stuff you need for a day to fit into one of those tiny mini bags, the fashion universe had to go and make a bag that's basically the polar opposite a thing. (But not to fear—your beloved mini bag is still cool.) For the past couple of seasons, there have been indications on the runways of Jacquemus, Proenza Schouler, Loewe, and more that oversize bags are barreling back into relevance in the form of clutches, totes, and top-handle satchels. Sure enough, we're finally seeing indications of this on Instagram and the streets. Many show attendees at the recent Paris Couture Fashion Week fully embraced the oversize bag trend, with Bottega Veneta, Loewe, and Maison Margiela (its puffer bag was everywhere) iterations being some of the most popular.

The good news is that this trend can fit your laptop, a water bottle, your phone charger, and even an extra pair of shoes in some cases. The bad news is that issues come up like where to put it when dining at a restaurant (besides the floor, yikes), or how to pull it off when you're petite.

Now, I love a new bag trend as much as the next fashion girl, but I will say that at 5'4," I'm struggling with how to pull off carrying a bag that's nearly half my size. I've seen photos of myself from the past with giant bags on my shoulder or arm, and it's definitely not my best look. Perhaps heels would help? I'm determined to find an oversize bag that works for my frame after seeing how many cool ones are popping up among retailers' new arrivals and how chic fashion-show attendees looked carrying them. Keep scrolling for the evidence and the very best oversize bag shopping the market currently has to offer.

This top-handle tote is an obvious choice for the office, but it's a cool, unexpected choice for OOO events.
Maison Margiela puffy clutches were all over the streets of Paris during couture week, and we expect the same for the next fashion month.
Want to try the trend on the cheap? Grab an oversize canvas tote and call it a day.
Bottega Veneta's Pouch Bag has solidified itself as the It bag of the moment. It may leave you with only one hand free, but it's so chic that it's worth it.
An oversize Loewe bag is enough to turn into outfit into something special. Case in point.
If you love the boho look, you're going to love this bag trend.
The big puffer clutch strikes again. (PS: This style looks amazing with ripped denim.)
Why not just match your bag to your dress?
This Maison Margiela bag provides the perfect contrast to a cheery summer outfit.
Also does double duty as a pillow (which you can't say for a mini bag).

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...
