tote bags

Out with the minis and in with the oversized. Street stylers were looking for practicality when it came to their bags at the fall 2023 shows. The real fashion month winner was a multitasking tote that can fit your work computer, your plus-sized iPhone, an extra pair of shoes, and even a quick change of clothes for the cameras. For a statement-making look, try out a Jackie bag with some grommet detailing—just make sure that nothing small slips out of it. Duffels, clutches, and baguettes were among the other show-season go-tos.
