Hot Handbags for Warm Weather

The changing of the seasons is a great excuse to go shopping for a brand-new bag. The styles for spring are bolder and less structured, so be sure you're on trend by grabbing one of these hot looks. First, find your favorite color. The stylish neutrals this season include pastels like blush, soft golds, light browns and taupe. Or go bold if you like - colorblocking is a hot look in all shapes and sizes of purses. Fendi, Prada and Louis Vuitton all featured structured bags with bright pops of color on their runways, in clutches, messengers and saddle-style bags. Bright colors are great to add with the classic little black dress, and this season's colors are orange, coral, turquoise and muted fuschia. Weaves, chains, quilting and other "vintage" details are in style, as are tassels, whether all over the bag or simply as an added detail on a clasp.
