My Handbag Criteria Are Trendy and Timeless—These 30 Made the Cut
I don't know about you, but I've been on a major handbag kick this year. This is probably due in large part to the fact that I hardly even used a handbag in 2020, let alone bought any. This year, I just want to be out in the world with real clothes and a pretty bag on my arm. Can you blame me?
I think that a year without bags has really made me reassess what I need and want in one. My main takeaway is simple: trendy yet timeless. I love getting in on new bag trends, but I also like to invest in bags that I'll carry for years to come. And luckily, this isn't a predicament because there are always lots of bags on the market that meet these slightly ambitious criteria. And yep, I found them.
I admittedly spent hours honing in on the best handbags right now that are on-trend yet not over-the-top or too specific. Translation: They'll still look cool in five years. Scroll on to shop them before they sell out. (Supply chain issues, ya know?)

Hey, it's remained relevant for this long.This bag is so cozy. How could it ever go out of style?Tweed looks so polished and is even a little unexpected.

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...
