In the social networks of fashion influencers, you can already see which bags will become the basis of the daily wardrobe this year. Large models are leading the way – roomy enough to fit a laptop, a sports uniform, and a change of shoes for evening plans. The focus is on colors and textures that are universal for any season. Next – five large bags, without which it is difficult to imagine a wardrobe in 2026.

Large (and business-like) slouchy bag
Along with slouchy boots – the hit of this fall-winter season – slouchy bags have appeared on the fashion radar. We are already familiar with several versions of this silhouette accessory – from clutches to small bags. If we talk about massive options, it is difficult to find a more versatile bag: it is appropriate for weekdays, busy weekends, and when traveling. Choose a slouchy in shades of brown or khaki – and it will stay with you for at least a year.

Elegant shopper
A shopper is synonymous with convenience, and its elegant version can be chosen as a basic bag: both for shopping on the way home and for going to the theater in an evening trouser suit. Among the shoppers seen in the looks of fashionistas, there is a woven model inspired by Bottega Veneta bags, and a soft, puffy one that is perfect for the spring and fall seasons.

Satchel bag
A recent hit accessory that claims a place in our looks is the satchel, also called the “doctor's bag”, because once doctors would carry bags of a similar silhouette on their trips. In a modern interpretation, fashionistas choose satchels in trendy bright shades, complement them with charms and combine them with printed looks.

Animal print bag
If anyone is tired of animal prints, it's definitely not fashion influencers and industry insiders. This year's animalistic arsenal includes every conceivable pattern and silhouette. The only requirement is roominess and modern styling so that, say, a leopard bag looks appropriate.

Structured bag
In contrast to the slouchy silhouette, we have a structured bag that holds its shape. Here you can go for a solid model that will keep the “back” straight in any position, or choose a bag made of softer leather that does not bend excessively.
