Here’s how you can wear F/W ’19’s latest colour trend for work and play

The best box bags you need to get for F/W ’19

The new cross-body bags you need to have now
Camera's the new cross-body
image

Here, three reasons why camera bags should be your new go-to purse. One: They sport a boxy silhouette (ICYMI, box bags are the It pieces for F/W ’19). Two: They have sufficient space to store all your belongings without being too bulky like a roomy tote. Three: Unlike clutches, they keep your hands free.

Scroll through for our top picks for this versatile style, plus some tips on how you can wear them.

1. Leather, $258, Kate Spade.

Don’t be a square: Camera bags don’t have to always be oblong and rigid. This Kate Spade number has a slightly curved silhouette, which gives it a softer appeal. Amp up the girlishness with a white broderie anglaise dress.

2. Leather, US$1,820 (S$2,509.14), Fendi at Net-a-Porter.
image

This purse sports the maison’s iconic FF logo that was introduced by Karl Lagerfeld in 1965. It looks best with a classic camel trenchcoat, but a skirt-suit works too.

3. Raffia, $2,370, Saint Laurent.

We’ve just found our ideal holiday bag. The black and nude upper makes this piece so versatile – it looks just as good with a black bikini ensemble for the beach as it does with a cheery summer frock for a casual brunch.

4. Leather, US$1,290 (S$1,778.46), Gucci.

Sporting the Italian maison’s iconic Marmont logo refreshed by current creative director Alessandro Michele, the GG Marmont camera purse boasts a bold colour that will look great with a simple white tee and denim jeans combo.

5. Cotton with leather trimmings, US$1,156 (S$1,593.77), Burberry at Net-a-Porter.
image

This Burberry bag has a certain modern-meets-vintage appeal. Its equestrian detailing and checkered upper looks great when worn with anything pastel.

6. Grained leather, $1,570, Balenciaga.
image

This bag is made for cat lovers, plus the colour just amplifies its cuteness. It’s not quite work appropriate, but it’s definitely great for weekends, especially when paired with a loosely buttoned white shirt and denim shorts.

7. Croc-embossed leather, US$1,989 (S$2,742.69), Tom Ford at Net-a-Porter.
image

Black bags are a closet staple. For a new spin though, get one that plays with texture, like this Tom Ford croc-embossed baby. The best part: It goes with everything.

8. Leather, $619, Coach at Farfetch.

Its London-punk-meets-Japanese-Lolita aesthetic is best complemented with a girlish white frock and leather biker jacket.

9. Nylon, $650, MCM.

Not everyone can pull off the utilitarian trend and camo prints, but when it’s in the form of a bag, all you need to do is glam it up with a chic A-line dress and black pumps.
