When you think about timeless staples, you might automatically think of little black dresses, pearl earrings, and white button-downs, among others. When it comes to handbags, though, we all have a favorite silhouette. From totes and shoppers to fanny packs and crossbody styles, all handbags have a place in our closets (and hearts).

Though we might alternate between them when it comes to what colors we gravitate toward, that’s when they become truly seasonless. Brown, red, black, mustard, and forest-green styles work for every season, and today we’re going to prove it. Scroll on to see which color is your favorite. (And maybe shop a new silhouette.)

Black will always be, well, the new black. You can never go wrong when purchasing a black purse.

The perfect size.

And now I’m ready to book a beach trip.

A cool classic you’ll wear forever.

So luxurious. 

Just like black, you can’t go wrong with a brown bag. Simply go through the fashion archives, and you’ll see more than a handful of brown bags you’d still wear today. 

Such a great sculptural shape.

So sleek.

So ’90s.

This will elevate any outfit.

Timeless.

When you want to make your outfit pop, you can always count on a red bag. Red bags are our favorite styling trick to elevate a neutral outfit. 

A bag you can wear again and again.

The slouch adds such a fashion-forward touch.

The key to my heart.

We’re always suckers for a good Jodie bag.

An everyday crossbody bag that makes a statement.

Contrary to its slime-green cousin, forest green will never go out of style. There’s something about this hue that makes any bag look impeccably chic. 

How cool is the shape?

How luxe does this look?

So good for the price.

Chic and easy to wear.

A fashion favorite.

If you already have your neutral bag collection set and want to expand to colors, we highly suggest going for a mustard bag.

You can’t go wrong with a good tote.

Simple and chic. 

You’ll need this in time for summer.

How cute.

To wear with jeans and a tee.

There will always be room for pink in our closets. It’s bright, fun, and can make any outfit feel brand new again. My T-shirt-and-jeans combination is not so boring when I add a pink handbag.

I’m obsessed.

The perfect shade of pink for 2023.

This is such a “right now” bag.

Did someone say Barbiecore?

Here for this.
