Winter is the perfect season to showcase versatile outfits, where every item you wear can become part of your fashion style. People often struggle to style different clothing and accessories, and the bags we carry frequently become focal points in our outfits. Here, we’ve selected five bags and described how to use different styles and colors to create layered looks that enhance your winter fashion, allowing you to stay warm and stylish.

Choose the right bag to complement your outfit and become a fashion icon this winter!

 

As temperatures drop, coats become a staple in our wardrobes. However, pairing a bulky backpack with a thick coat can create a heavy and unbalanced look. Additionally, you have to remove your backpack before taking off your coat, which can be quite inconvenient. Shoulder bags may easily slip off due to the weight of heavy clothing, while handheld bags can leave your hands cold since they can’t be tucked in your pockets. In this case, crossbody bags or waist bags are excellent alternatives for winter, as they can hold your essentials while also adding flair to your outfit.

 

[Nova Sling Extreme]

A sling bag can be worn on the chest, which is fashionable and practical.

 

The Nova Sling Extreme is incredibly trendy, whether worn under or over a coat. When worn underneath, it adds layers between your outfit and the coat, enhancing your style. Plus, having the bag close to your chest makes it easy to access your belongings, and it won’t complicate things when you take off your coat. For a cohesive look, you should choose a bag in a color that complements your coat.

Celebrities and fashion enthusiasts love wearing sling bags over their coats, transforming them into focal points of their outfits. This showcases unique bag designs and adds layers to the outfit. When worn over a coat, consider vibrant colors - like a Samba Sling bag paired with a black coat for a striking contrast, or DK Mint with earth tones for a festive touch. Sheen can also serve as an eye-catching highlight against more muted outfits.

These colors that can be too flashy in spring and summer become great accent pieces for winter outfits.

 

[Napier Rad Crossbody]

The slim crossbody bag keeps your overall look from feeling cumbersome.

 

The Napier Rad Crossbody is suitable for both male and female, featuring a contrasting strap design that adds a trendy touch to the darker tones of winter outfits. If your coat isn’t too thick, you can wear the bag on the outside to showcase its unique style. However, when pairing it with a heavier coat, it’s best to wear the bag underneath while draping the coat over your shoulders. Since the crossbody bag is quite flat, wearing it over bulky clothing can disrupt the layering. And wearing it underneath can easily cause the bag to be completely hidden by the coat. Therefore, by draping the coat instead of fully wearing it, the bag can peek out subtly, revealing its colorful design as you move—both understated and stylish.

The Napier Rad Crossbody is compact and lightweight, striking a balance between style and practicality. It offers enough storage for essentials like your phone, wallet, and makeup, keeping you trendy while meeting your everyday needs.

Even if you’re dressed in all black, the bag's contrasting design and colorful phone strap can add a bright touch to your outfit.

Covert Green adds a touch of British style, while the brown leather Moral logo shows taste. Pair it with a wool coat, and you’ll feel like you’re strolling through the streets of France in winter.
