In need of a little something extra to spice up your wardrobe this season? Sometimes all it takes is the perfect purse to make an outfit complete. So we found five fall handbag trends to keep on your radar. Warning: You may want to buy them all!
The Portfolio Clutch
Perfect for traveling to and from the office, this clutch is professional and sleek. Its oversized, flat shape makes it ideal for carrying your most crucial daytime necessities. We found this faux crocodile clutch that coordinates with the structured lines of a business suit or pencil skirt for a sharp, polished look.

The Geometric Evening Clutch
Like a statement necklace or bold earrings, a geometric evening clutch adds glitzy glamour and visual interest to your evening ensemble. This clutch covered in oversized metal studs offers an edgy appeal to your favorite leather jacket or LBD.

The Printed Bag
There are so many prints to choose from this season, but some of us just aren’t daring enough to wear them head to toe. If you like to stay neutral, opt for a printed bag to spice things up. Animal prints like leopard and croc are in, while fall florals are a great way to show your girly side. The texture of this python-print tote pairs perfectly with all of your wardrobe staples, accenting white, black and cream flawlessly.

The Short-Strap Handbag
Feminine yet functional, the short-strap handbag is more fun than an everyday tote. A chain strap adds style and sophistication without being impractical. Look for bags in the colors of the season, like this one from Aldo, in a deep amethyst.

The Top-Handle Satchel
With two ways to wear it, this bag is a must-have. The long strap frees up your hands for running errands, while the short handles offer a more classic option. We love the Maddox Satchel from Fossil as an everyday bag because it’s roomy without being bulky. Try wearing it with jeans for a casual weekend look.
