The trendiest and most desired bag for winter 2023 is the shoulder bag: practical, enveloping and versatile

According to the online research platform Lyst, the shoulder bag is the most purchased and worn model for this winter: that's why there's more than one reason to have even more than one

Small, medium, large: the shoulder bag knows no format or even a precise identikit, perfectly embodying our desire for freedom in mixing and experimenting with ever-changing, never predictable and conventional styles. And perhaps this is precisely the reason why the shoulder bag is the most purchased bag this winter, from minimalist underarm models to large ones that keep us company on days away from home or to accompany us as comfortable and carefree luggage during our trips. It is worth betting and seriously investing in this model, tailored to our needs and the latest trends, already aware that just one will never be enough: this year there is truly an embarrassment of choice.

Small shoulder bag, 2023 trends: shoulder yes but also handbag, the perfect evening model

If in our daily look we need maxi bags and backpacks to spend days away from home and roam around the city, in the evening we can say Relax! Take it easy and choose a bag that focuses more on a refined design than on practicality, something special that represents a real eye-catcher in our look. The now consolidated trend is that of the shoulder bag which also becomes a hand bag so that we can decide how we prefer to wear it.

Valentino's Locò Bag moves in this direction and seems to be the perfect remix of all the latest trends: sparkling details, logo in full view, small but not too much in its rectangular format and chain shoulder strap. An investment that could be transformed with its delicate colors into the perfect bag for ceremonies to come this summer.

Minimal and essential, a bag that is now a cult could not be reconfirmed among the must-haves: in its smallest format, the Gucci Jackie can be worn perfectly under the arm and taken for a walk hand in hand. For those who dream of a vintage touch and love nostalgia-effect looks, what more could they want?

However, also keep an eye on the Givenchy bag universe, because if you are one of those who like to bring much more than what is needed in the evening to redo the make-up on the fly, the 4 g soft quilted in denim, available in two different mignon designs, could solve any concern. A mini bag with multiple possibilities and to be carried under the arm like a baguette or by hand.

The shoulder maxi, accomplice of every day and travel

Don't underestimate how much a maxi shoulder bag can be precious even for traveling: roomy enough to be able to put those bijoux or that extra book that if we put it in the suitcase it would explode. The trendy models are so enveloping and large that they can be worn on the arm as if they were a backpack, until they blend in with a hobo bag, sustainable and enveloping like the Mam models.

And for those looking for an original model, also look out for the buckets with handles so wide that they can be transformed into a shoulder bag: the trend comes from Loewe , a specialist in the creation of always original bags, which for the Chinese New Year's rabbit year has created its Hammock bag in a design that recalls the shape of the animal. Can also be worn over the shoulder.
