5 Hottest Winter Bag Trends, According to Fashion Editors

With the cold winter weather comes new and exciting fashion and accessory trends. The fall/winter 2024 runway gave us stellar bag trends like the east-to-west bags, wristlets, and bag charms. We love seeing these styles, and they’re sure to maintain their popularity well into the new year!

Most recently, the spring/summer 2025 runway also showed us some certain styles that we’re ready to adopt ASAP. I’m talking bags with belts or pockets (you’ll see what I mean in a bit), fringe, and vanity styles. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to incorporate some of these trends into my winter bag collection too. So, without further ado, check out five of our favorite bag trends for this winter below. And while I have you, check out all of our winter fashion stories for the best fashion tips and style guides for the chilly season!
