Making its presence felt quite brazenly on the catwalks of the world this season is the bag. It has become an item without which an ensemble is neither complete or in vogue. The man bag is, in most instances, large and boldly masculine in appearance. Just as with women’s bags, functionality underlies its rise to high fashion but has also become a clear statement of being in vogue. The look this season is for highly prominent tote bags, shoulder bags and outsized travel bags, although many fashion houses have trimmed the size of their bags since the 2010 season but the college boy still underpins the designs following the successes of 2010. Matching shoes and bags, at least as far as color is concerned, is very stylish. The shoulder bag has caught the attention of all the designers and their followers and many carry the distinctive signature of the designer. The man about town must have the business-like leather shoulder bag for his sojourns into the city but turns to a more relaxed fabric look for casual wear. The tote, similarly caters for both the town look and the informal statement. Again leather is well used in formal totes while the softer look of the barrel tote in a range of colors and tones adds a stylishness to a casual look. Travel bags are big this fall and winter. The leisure tourist has a choice of classy travel bags in a wide range of fabrics and hues so that the adventure begins from the moment you pack your luggage while the sophisticated leather bags, often in two or three tones will appeal to the formal traveling man. Nights call for something more subtle than the large masculine designs for daytime. The tidy clutch or large wallet is just the thing. Do not use an old clutch because the styles and fabrics are not the same each season. A favorite is the clutch in shiny new or well-worn Italian leather. Generally the darker hues are favored, especially a midnight blue or a shade of ruby. However, the approach in London is much more daring and bold checks and busy patterns have made their way into the trendy nightspots. The vintage leather look, neutral or very dark colors such as navy blue or burgundy red are in mode. Two-tone is a favorite of some of the top designers. Detail, such as pockets and zippers on the bag, is important. Gold clasps remain a sign of good taste although antique brass hardware adds a fashionable touch to this season’s designs while zippers remain on the hip list and straps, in matching and contrasting hues, are really in style. A brightly colored and glossy lining is an indispensable feature. To be sure that you are amongst the trendiest in your city you can do no better than to turn to the great fashion designers as there is not one of the greats who has not produced a stunning range of bags this season.
