The mini bag is making a huge comeback in fashion, bringing with it a whole new level of style and versatility. These tiny treasures have become the go-to accessory, especially during the holiday season because of their petite size and big impact. Wondering how to make these mini wonders work magic with your holiday outfits?
Here are some helpful tips to rock those trendy mini bags with flair and confidence!
The Mini Bag Revival
Mini bags have been around since the swinging 60s, reflecting the fashion trends of shorter skirts and a desire for more compact accessories. However, it was in the Fall of 2017 that Jacquemus revitalised the trend, making mini bags the 'it' accessory once again. Their influence has since entered modern fashion, becoming a staple for those looking to make a statement.
Tips for Mastering Mini Bag Magic
Check out our top tips for styling mini bags with holiday outfits, whether it's cross-body, handheld, leather or suede
- Dress in the Same Colorway Dressing head-to-toe in one colour might sound intimidating, but trust us, it's a timeless fashion tip. Grab your favourite mini bag in a nude shade and build an outfit around it. Think monochrome with a dash of neutral white to balance the look.
- Enhance with a Bold Red If you're feeling a bit adventurous, pair your serene all-white ensemble with a striking red mini bag. It’s all about making that bold statement without overwhelming your outfit.
- Play with Shapes Round-shaped mini bags can be your fashion ace. They effortlessly jazz up casual outfits, adding that touch of uniqueness without relying on colour or print.
- Accessorise with artistic accents: Channel your inner Jane Birkin and adorn your mini bag with ribbons or scarves. It’s the little artistic touch that can elevate your look, especially during the holiday season.
- Go neon! Inject some vibrancy into your outfit with a neon-coloured shoulder bag. Think Prada-inspired colourful vibes that can light up any ensemble.
- Make it your active sidekick. Shoulder bags are your ultimate sidekick for active days (not to mention last-minute holiday shopping) and nights. They blend seamlessly with your movements while keeping your style intact.
- Pair with vintage style: Pair your classic black mini bag with distressed pants and a vintage knit sweater for a retro-inspired look that’s undeniably chic. With Kipling's Black Noir small bag, this outfit combines sleekness with retro-chic and packs a powerful punch of cute.
- Clash colours for impact: Embrace the clash! Mini bags are perfect for creating colour contrasts without overpowering your outfit. Mix and match to your heart’s content.
- Try minimalistic elegance: When in doubt, go for a tiny black purse. It pairs effortlessly with different outfits and adds a pop of colour and can transform the look entirely.
- Choose white on white: For a feminine touch, pair a small white purse with a delicate white dress. Think lace and minimal hardware for that bridal-inspired charm. The New Delia Compact in a bright metallic shade will elevate this ensemble. You'll look chic and coordinated in this small yet functional bag.
- Balance with neutrals Heading for a night out? Tone down a vibrant clubbing outfit with a neutral-toned mini bag. It’s about looking sleek without stealing the show from your ensemble.
What Type of Bag Goes With Every Outfit?
The shoulder bag stands as a must-have with its adaptable strap; look for a leather boho for casual flair or a refined baguette for formal occasions. A crossbody bag is a classic essential that you can wear across the body. Some designs come with a removable strap and carry handle, making them ideal for carrying essentials such as a phone, keys, wallet, and other must-have items.
Meanwhile, the bucket bag is casual yet stylish, ideal for sundresses and jeans. The ultimate multi-tasking bag is a leather tote—perfect for everyday use, work, and even beach outings. Last but not least, the clutch is a petite powerhouse; choose a leather day clutch for relaxed vibes or a jewelled clutch case ("minaudiere" for the fancy title) for sophisticated evenings out.
