MOST WANTED BAG TRENDS OF FALL 2012

Any true-blooded fashionista can easily feel naked without a purse. This is why every season, designers come up with high end pieces for women to carry around and show off the crowd. For fall, here are the ten most noted bag trends that will make you wish you had one of these.

 

1. Gladstone Prone. Yes, we’re prone, indeed. Also called the Doctor’s bag, the Gladstone bags are back in fashion. And who says you must have a Ph.D. at the end of your name to carry one?

2. Granny Fancy. Vintage is definitely in. You can now wave your Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily purse into your grandmother’s? faces. That is, if she doesn’t show you hers first.

3. Box Bag Gag. Don’t you just love geometry? Once again, this exquisite branch of science is applied in fashion design. For a fresh take, it comes out in shapes rather than in patterns. The cute little handle of a box bag is probably enough to stop your doubts. It may look like an interesting square or cube-like thing but it’s actually a glamorous accessory that matches well with cocktail dresses and whatever suits your mood.

4. Red Alert. If last season was all about orange hues, the color of blood, cherries, and Louboutin soles is out to wipe out every other color and reign as the fiercest one of all. Welcome back the shade of scarlet which is courageous, dashing, and elegant as ever. Simplified design works best for this trend so it’s advisable to stay clear from super embellished versions or too shiny ones.

5. Bold Gold. One of the hottest and most luxurious metallic colors, gold stands out and becomes the ‘it’ glittering hue for this season.One at a time is the most fabulous way to wear it. Don’t listen to people who tell you it’s only good to wear in the evening. Come on, were they born yesterday?
