Shop The Best Bag Trends Right Now At Marshalls

Though your bag game may be strong all year long, if there’s one time it acts like MVP, it’s the transitional weeks in between seasons. As summer winds down and fall steadily approaches, your bags can carry you — and all your essentials — right through the ambiguous sartorial time with total grace and style. After all, the presence of a chic shoulder bag or head-turning tote can be transformative. And shopping for those covetable bags is made way easier when you can get them all at Marshalls.

Your local Marshalls has a breadth of handbag styles available for every kind of dresser, and the shelves are filled with designer brands at incredible prices. That means you don’t need to choose between a durable everyday or premiere special occasion bag: You can treat yourself to both. With its diverse selection of high-quality pieces, Marshalls will ensure both you and your wardrobe are ready to start off the season on a high note.

Below, find three must-have trends that BDG Executive Beauty Director Faith Xue (BDG’s resident beauty expert who also excels at accessorizing) is shopping this season. Bags with crescent shapes, bold colors, and high-end details can all be found at your nearby Marshalls. Get inspired with the ideas here, then head in store to find your favorite takes on the styles.

1. Crescent Shapes

“Crescent-shaped bags are playing a major role in my closet this season,” says Xue, who considers a sporty version of the look (think: a fabric strap with a cool racing-stripe design, or exterior storage keychains) to be the perfect everyday accessory. And if you’re in search of a dressier variation of the crescent bag, then Xue adds, “A croc-embossed [version] adds just the right amount of glitz to any neutral outfit.”

The half-moon design comes in many forms, from bright glossy numbers with glitzy chain hardware to minimalist versions in monochromatic colors that act as the ideal outfit-finisher. And though the eye-catching crescent bag is having a major moment right now, its versatility ensures the look will live on for seasons to come.

2. Bright & Bold Colors

Even the most color-shy won’t be able to resist the new crop of vibrant hues. As Xue points out, “When I want to make a statement, I go for bright and bold colors.” Try a hot pink shoulder bag for a fun night out, or trade in your everyday black carryall for a siren red or Kelly green.

Any kind of head-turning hue “gives an instant pop of color to spice up my look” says Xue. No matter what shade you choose — be it a coordinating or contrasting color — that not-so-subtle pop is guaranteed to elevate your look.

3. High-End Details

“To step up my bag collection, I look for high-end details,” says Xue. “Glamorous gold hardware or a feminine ruffle accent is the kind of detailing that takes it to the next level.” High-end touches give any bag (in any shape) that little extra oomph.

Plus, their versatility is unmatched. No matter what style you choose, you’ll find a bag with high-end details works as well for casual daywear as it does for night-out looks.

So whether you’re in the market for one of these top-trending bag designs or something else entirely, discover styles that complement your look and help you seamlessly transition into fall at your local Marshalls.
