Forget Beige and Black: Spring’s Must-Have Bags Come in Ultra-Bright White

The white boot had its breakthrough in 2017, and in the seasons since, we’ve seen the color (or lack thereof) trickle into every other corner of our closet. White pumps, white jewelry, white puffer coats… the list goes on! This spring, we’re predicting that a white handbag is the next must-have. What else do you wear with the pastels, bright neons, and tie-dyes, after all? A neutral accessory is key to balancing those trends, and white feels a lot fresher than beige, black, or brown.

If you’re in need of styling tips, we already saw a few women carry white bags at the Fall 2019 shows: In London, a model combined a lilac blouse and chartreuse trousers with a chain-strapped white mini bag, while Georgia Tal teamed an electric-blue floral dress with a tiny white tote and shoes. If small bags aren’t your thing, another editor made the case for a roomy white hobo. To find your perfect hint of optic-white, shop the cross-bodies, lady bags, and totes we found below. You don’t have to wait until spring to wear them, either: This trend puts to bed that old “rule” about only wear white in sunny weather. Just don’t forget the Scotchgard!
