Cold days, colder nights. When winter arrives, you'll want a bag that does more than just look good (and help you look put together)—winter handbags should be extra functional, too. Think: durability, structure, and colors that will work with what's already in your wardrobe. Whether you're traipsing across the city or campus in the snow, or need to accommodate styling a bulkier jacket to say warm, here are some of our tips for finding the best bag to take on winter weather.
What Are the Top Bag Styles for Winter?
Carryalls & Totes The great thing about carryalls is that they will quite literally carry all of the belongings you need throughout the day (and even into the evening)—minimizing the need to spend extra time making stops or dashing about in freezing temperatures. An effortlessly slouchy style, or a more refined design crafted from leather, will make wintering easy while looking polished. Best For: Workdays or travel when you'll be toting your laptop, gloves, and a spare sweater in addition to your daily essentials.

Crossbody Bags Another year-round staple, but especially during cold weather; the crossbody bag's generously adjustable strap will enable you to still wear it comfortably over a puffer jacket or bulky wool coat. And since it's hands-free, you'll be able to keep them warm in your pockets without worrying about dropping your valuables. Best For: Off-duty days spent wandering around the city, or when you're traveling. Style Pick:Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 with Pillow Quilting, Tabby Shoulder Bag 26
Shoulder Bags The elegance of a structured shoulder bag makes an even more stunning style counterpart when contrasted against winter's oversized outerwear and plethora of cold-weather accessories. With an archival-inspired shape, the Tabby bag looks equally as iconic outdoors as it does once you're inside and seated for dinner. Best For: Meeting friends for dinner, dancing and beyond. Style Pick:Tabby Shoulder Bag 20
Mini Bags Just because the sun's setting earlier doesn't mean you need to put a curfew on the fun. Mini bags are the perfect plus-one for cocktail parties, formal events, or when you just want to escape campus with minimal essentials on hand. Choosing a super timeless style will ensure you get the most wear for your mini. Best For: Happy hours, dressy occasions, running quick errands or heading to the movies.

What Handbag Materials Are Best for Winter?
Leather The ultimate classic, and for good reasons. Leather bags are incredibly durable; variations such as pebbled leather, smooth leather, grained finishes and more will resist moisture and also withstand carrying even some of your heaviest belongings. Leather also only gets better with time, developing a beautifully aged patina that tells your own personal story. Style Pick:Tabby Shoulder Bag 26, Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 34
Suede Best for days with no precipitation in the forecast, bags crafted with suede's soft, cozy texture pair perfectly with winter's chunky knits, cashmere sweaters and more. Style Pick:Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28
