Bags for Building a Capsule Wardrobe

The Year of the Snake is coming to an end, making it the perfect time to shed what you don’t need and make room for building your capsule wardrobe—which is, of course, not complete without the essential handbags you’ll reach for on repeat. When you think of your curated collection as a foundation to your personal style, you’ll see how your bag’s ability to mix, match, and elevate any look is one of the smartest investments you can make. These are the bag silhouettes that will be timeless and endlessly wearable for years to come.

The Shoulder Bag

Polished yet practical, modern yet classic, a structured shoulder bag will be one of the core accessories you come to rely on.
Why you’ll love it:

  • Will dress up casual looks and balance formal ones
  • Works day to night and office to after-hours

Capsule Wardrobe Shoulder Bag Pick: Tabby Shoulder Bag 20

The Carryall Bag

Today’s best carryalls offer an updated take on the traditional tote bag, with a softer silhouette yet equally durable quality. Whether you’re going straight out to dinner after back-to-back classes, commuting to an internship in the city or catching a flight for vacation, the carryall bag is an essential for every wardrobe.
Why you’ll love it:

  • Can carry all of your belongings, all day long, while still looking polished and pulled together
  • Offers the perfect combination of style and utility
  • Works for just about any occasion, day or night

Capsule Wardrobe Carryall Bag Pick: Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 34

The Crossbody Bag

Every capsule collection needs one bag that lets you keep your hands free for the important things—like grabbing items while running errands, exploring while traveling, or when you simply don’t want to worry about holding onto a handbag strap as you’re out and about.
Why you’ll love it:

  • One less thing to worry about when you’re on the go
  • The ultimate versatility; opt for a crossbody with detachable straps that can also be worn as a shoulder bag
  • Can be easily dressed up or down

Capsule Wardrobe Crossbody Bag Pick: Tabby Shoulder Bag 26

The Mini Bag

Consider mini bags your perfect plus-one. With their small size and big impact, mini bags are a timeless option for special occasions or when you only need to carry your most essential items, like keys and cards.
Why you’ll love it:

  • Elevates even the most casual look
  • Adds personality without being over the top
