Nothing says, “I belong here,” like a classic, structured work bag.
If you’re someone who experiments a lot with color in your workwear, choosing a black bag is your best option. Black workplace bags are always elegant.
But if you tend to stick to more neutral colors in the workplace, opt for a jewel-toned purse which offers elegance and timelessness. My personal favorite: emerald.
The great thing about a large work tote is that it can carry everything you need for a commute and a full day. Appropriate compartments are key!

While a structured bag is perfect for day-to-day office life, a beige tote is the essential bag for your everyday errands.
A classic tote is the kind of bag every 21st century woman needs. From shopping for groceries, going to class, hitting the gym, and seeing your pals, the shopper bag is the ideal size for fitting everything you need inside.
It’s also the kind of purse that never looks out of place, whether you’re in your gym clothes or a work event. It’s always functional.

A little red bag is always in style, but especially so for 2021.
Red is alluring, daring, and vibrant. A little red bag is a classic style for a dinner party or to go shopping with your friends.
Plus, it’s an ultra versatile style. It can be casually edgy or formally elegant.
Saddle Bag

While the saddle bag takes its roots in equestrian style, you certainly don’t have to own a horse to rock one.
The saddle bag is wonderful for its ability to be taken just about anywhere in the daytime, from running errands to attending afternoon tea with the queen (anybody else a fan of Bridgerton?).
