As a season spring is easy, breezy, light and airy; it’s only right that we follow suit. It’s time to ditch the oversized bags full of all the lotions and potions, winter layers, and tissues, and opt for something a bit smaller. Leave the weight lifting at the gym.

Cross Body Bags

Messenger/cross body bags are great for many reasons, they leave your arms and hands free to do whatever you like, great for shopping; for that reason they look cool; you can go from day to night quite easily as they double up as a clutch; on top of all that they’re so on trend right now. There are some great messenger bags available in all different sizes and an array of colours almost everywhere, from the high street to high end!

Clutches

A good size clutch will enable you to carry all of your essentials with you throughout the day, and will also look chic if you have a date/event to go to in the evening. Mischa Barton Bags has a great size clutch bag with numerous pockets for your daily items; your phone, touch-up make-up, your sunnies, keys, travel card, etc. Go for a box clutch for a bit of structure, this season we’re seeing some great printed versions as well as neon perspex treats!

Totes/Shoppers

If you find it really hard to downsize you’re capacity to carry your life around with you, there are some fabulous totes in some really amazing colours for this season, and they’re not too big that you look like you’re going on a mini break. The trapeze shape is a different take on a tote, high st brand Zara have mini versions of their popular A/W totes for this season in perfect on trend colours such as white and orange, also great prints, and metallics.

What type of bag will you be going for this season?
