The Non-Boring Bag Color Trend Fashion People Are Wearing to Make Their Spring Basics Feel Special
Want to add some glamour to your wardrobe basics this spring? A gold handbag is the perfect choice. It's vibrant and expensive looking, and Gigi Hadid recently endorsed it.
For a Rabanne event in NYC, Hadid wore a sleek black leather bomber jacket and a pinstripe pantsuit. To enhance her look, she accessorized with gold chain earrings and a matching necklace. She finished with black booties and a stunning gold Rabanne chain-mail clutch.

While one might associate a gold handbag with a formal occasion like a wedding or gala, it is also surprisingly wearable enough for an everyday outfit. You can style it with a casual pant-and-boot combination like Hadid or dress it up with a gown. It is truly that versatile.
It's not just Hadid who's embracing this trend—a gold bag, especially a clutch, appeared on the streets during fashion weeks in Paris and Milan. Stylish attendees like Anna Dello Russo and Aimee Song have been pairing the bag with everything from trousers to maxi skirts, proving that a touch of metallic shine can make any outfit look and feel special.
