It’s no secret that accessories have the power to transform even the simplest of looks. Where would that little black dress be without a statement necklace, stunning sandals and a special clutch? They help translate your mood and let you express your style in a way that’s all your own.
Bags in particular have a way of anchoring an outfit. One of the hardest working pieces in your accessories arsenal, a single strap or flap detail can help usher in a new season in style. We’ve rounded up 4 of the best bags of the season, including a grommetted crossbody, a rich suede saddlebag, a tasseled tote and a 70s-inspired satchel, and shopped for all of the coordinating accessories so putting together a look is a snap. The ultimate bag ladies and queens of trendsetting style (one is actual royalty!), Solange Knowles, Soo Joo Park, Nina Agdal (Leo’s gf) and Princess Olympia of Greece show us how to work each style in the city.
See all of our picks you’ll want to have and to hold this season in the gallery below.

Danish model Nina Agdal easily embodies the carefree spirit of the satchel’s silhouette. Rich caramel suede and brushed metal hardware are a clever nod to nostalgia, while the tone on tone palette keeps it looking polished. Complete the look with classics like a white jean, a crisp striped shirt and a stylish sneaker.

Model Soo Joo Park easily embodies the tough, downtown feel of the slouchy feed bag. Coal-coloured leather and moody silver accents are best accessorized with a 90s-inspired slip dress and tee. Finish off the look with a studded wallet, skinny choker and badass boots.

In a seasonless neutral, the grommet-covered crossbody is the ultimate day to evening bag. Songstress Solange Knowles effortlessly transitioned from jeans and a trench to a bright fur and leather culottes with the tuck of a strap. We love the idea of wearing it with geeky glasses, a menswear-inspired platform and a personalized pendant necklace.

The structured saddlebag is the perfect fit for a free spirited princess (like Princess Olympia of Greece). The deep burgundy shade, oversized tassel and thick guitar strap give a luxe lift to this bohemian essential. Let the bag shine by keeping all other accessories sleek. Buttery leather pants and a cozy sweater work well with a bold cuff and fluffy flats.
