All The It-Bag Trends From The A/W25 Runways
This season, bags speak louder than words — from sleek in-hand clutches to cozy fur finishes, the A/W25 runways proved that accessories aren’t just add-ons, but the very statement of a look.
As the cooler weather approaches, it’s not just our wardrobes that need a refresh, we can’t forget about accessories. At Bazaar Arabia, we’ve already discussed the standout A/W25 fashion trends, but no roundup would be complete without a closer look at our most beloved companion — the bag.
From in-hand clutches to relaxed hobo silhouettes, the palettes may have toned down since spring, but the A/W25 runways were anything but dull. Here, Bazaar Arabia rounds up the season’s most stylish bag trends.
The structured top handle bag
The structured top handle bag is making a big comeback. We saw it during the spring and it’s not quick to fade away. A robust silhouette and rectangular frame makes this a bag that says you mean business – perfect to complement chic workwear separates and evening tailoring.
In-Hand Bags
Whether in clutch form, as seen at Stella McCartney, or your everyday bag reimagined in mini proportions, this season’s directive is clear: everything belongs in your hands. Designers are trading shoulder straps for a tactile approach, making the act of carrying your bag part of the look itself.
Brown, Brown, Brown!
Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Color of the Year, has ensured that brown in all its shades has been everywhere this year — from runways to street style. No longer a supporting neutral, brown has positioned itself as the new black, the ultimate go-to. This autumn is no exception, with designers doubling down on chocolate, caramel, and coffee hues in every bag silhouette imaginable.
Slouch Season
Slouchy It bags are the epitome of quiet luxury. Crafted from buttery leather and suede, this season’s slouchy bags give off an easy cool-girl vibe whether they are tucked under the arm or worn on the shoulder.
Spot On
Animal print has been everywhere this year, and handbags are no exception. Whether it’s sleek snakeskin, bold cheetah spots, or graphic zebra stripes, designers are embracing the wild side for A/W25 and so are we.
Fur Factor
Fur is everywhere this season — especially in outerwear — so it’s only natural that bags follow suit. Perfect for keeping things cozy, the trend translates into accessories both big and small: add a touch of fur as a detail, or go all in with a full faux-fur bag for maximum seasonal impact.
The Hobo Revival
With boho style not going anywhere, hobo bags are reclaiming their spot as the ultimate everyday carry. Universally flattering and effortlessly utilitarian, their slouched crescent shape offers both ease and style. A true wardrobe staple, the hobo proves it can go everywhere — and with everything.
