Winter is here, and it’s time to swap out your bags for something practical, cozy, and a little stylish too. The right bag can do so much more than carry your essentials—it can pull together your whole look and make even the chilliest days feel a bit more polished.
This season, roomy totes are everywhere, making it easier to carry everything you need (and then some). Slouchy “squishy” bags are another favorite—they’re relaxed, comfortable, and just feel right this time of year. And I can’t get enough of the warm, chocolatey tones in suede and leather that instantly make any outfit feel a bit richer.
These are the kinds of bags you’ll want to reach for all season long, whether you’re dressing up for the day or embracing a laid-back look.
Scroll ahead to see the key bag trends of Winter 2025–2026 and find the perfect one to update your wardrobe!
