This season’s ‘’it’’ bag is the 90s stable one, the belt bag. Different designers and brands have been promoting the trend and we notice it in different varieties, shapes and colours. The trend seems to be at the front row for both men’s and women’s preferences as it was spotted on various celebrities and streetstyle. In both cases it is very important to have in mind the right tips on styling and how to wear it in order to avoid the ‘’tourist look’’. This can be achieved by investing in more luxurious fabrics, regardless the price of the ‘funny’ bag. Men can invest in leather and high-quality canvas belt bags and they should combine it only with more casual laid-back looks. In contrast girls can combine the belt bag with suits and dresses for a cool touch to the whole outfit concentrating on the waist, for a more feminine ‘ladylike’ look. Another one crucial factor to have in mind before buying the ‘it’ piece of the season, is to pay attention to the colour. In my opinion it’s better to invest on more neutrals and shades of the season, like burgundy, green and navy.
Christmas is just around the corner and we recommend you some of our favourites in the list below to help you choose a must have piece to invest for the holiday festive season.
