Style Notes: For spring, you needn't be subtle about where your bag is from. Heavily logoed arm candy reigned supreme on the runway, with monograms repeated over and over at Loewe and Fendi, and bold lettering at Chanel. As the saying goes, "If you've got it, flaunt it."

Style Notes: We wouldn’t ordinarily deem something as classic as a tan bag as being "on-trend," but seeing as it was so prevalent on the runway, it has to make our list. Chloé championed the hue, which it set against other buttery tones for high-end appeal.

Style Notes: It's true—sometimes the smallest details can make the biggest difference, and that's the case with this handbag trend. Chloé, Elleme and Altuzarra are just a handful of brands who have brought this artisanal method back for 2022. Look for contrasting stitching to make more of an impact.

Style Notes: Perhaps the most notable silhouette on the spring/summer runway was the bucket bag. Designers like Michael Kors opted to keep theirs structured as opposed to slouchy. This formal-looking shape but roomy interior makes them the perfect bag to transition from day to night with.

Style Notes: If you're one of the many (many) people who invest in a jazzy bag in 2021, you'll be pleased to hear they're going to be just as relevant in 2022. Following the rest of the runway's mantra of not saving your best for best, use embellished and metallic bags to dress up your simple jeans-and-blazer looks.

Style Notes: Having had something of a revival in clothing form, we're not surprised that fringing has also cropped up on 2022's hottest bags. Look for totes that are fringed all over to fully embrace the aesthetic, or if that feels too much, seek out styles with asymmetric fringing instead.

Style Notes: One of the swiftest ways to take your looks from one season to the next is by switching up your textures. Each spring/summer, woven totes make a return, and 2022 is no exception to this rule. Again, Chloé paved the way with its jumbo macramé-style handbag. Although it's not out just yet, there are plenty of other styles to peak your interest right now.
