subject: Trendy Handbags [print this page] The way you look has a major impact on your personality and how you come across. Little wonder that more and more people are investing in good looks like never before. As far as women are concerned, what they wear is as important as the accessories they wear it with. Therefore, trendy handbags and fashionable shoes are very vital to the overall look of a woman.
Trends in bags and purses are never permanent. They keep changing each season and several times in a year. For instance, two years back, the trend was to go for bags that had complicated designs. Purses were much smaller in size too. Today, handbags have become much larger. However, minimalist designs seem to be taking over. For a woman to look chic and trendy, it is essential to observe the trends of the season.
Hot trendy handbags of 2011:
Minimalist designs
These are making a comeback now, with monotones and straight lines that speak of total simplicity. An example of supreme simplicity is the Rochas Giallo tote, which is so minimal that it can hurt the eye! Still, these trendy handbags are a huge success with women.
Colorful handbags
There was a time when white, black and silver were the rage when it came to handbags. These days, however, handbags have become much more colorful. This season, there are a lot of takers for colors such as cobalt, orange and crimson (yes, even crimson!). Lovely shades of handbags are not a recent trend but it seems to be catching on like wildfire. In fact, some of these bags are good enough for formal wear too.
Zebra prints are another popular addition this season, as seen in some of the cutest bags introduced by Dolce and Gabbana. Leopard stripes are another enduring trend.
Another means of adding to the oomph factor is to make use of sequins, pearls and other decorative materials. Clever craftsmanship with perfect detailing can lead to breathtaking bags.
Quirky handbags
Trendy handbags are not always very conformist. Some of the recent styles are quirky yet cute. An example is the Louis Vuitton handbag with faux fox tails that could be detached. When these handbags first appeared in the spring of 2010, they were a runaway success. A year later, the trend is reappearing with Vuitton and Marc Jacobs reintroducing it in a major way.
