As we move into spring, I understand if you're feeling a little intimidated by some of the more vivid colours out there. After a long stretch of dark days, you might be reluctant to move away from the black and navy shades that kept you comfortable all winter. However, with the sky finally adopting an energised blue tone (at least on some days) and spring’s new blooms peppering pavements, there’s no better time to style some shades that speak to this glorious new-season energy.
Perfectly encapsulating this mood, Kendall Jenner just stepped out in a transseasonal outfit that’s instantly become my template for early-spring dressing. Wearing a coordinated navy suit with dark sunglasses and a bright orange handbag, Jenner introduced a playful pop of colour into her outfit in the most wearable way.
Reviving her winter colour palette, Jenner's thoughtful handbag addition tapped into the growing bright handbag trend that's arrived just in time for spring. Following the recent popularity of the red bag trend and the growing interest in olive green and sky blue shades this season, bright bags are taking off as one of the easiest—and chicest—accessories to experiment with.
Allowing us to create smart and polished yet equally playful looks without excess colour, I predict that we'll all be adding bold arm candy to our muted looks very soon. Whilst Jenner's Bottega Veneta Kalimero Città bag is currently unavailable, we've already spotted plenty of other bright bags at so many of our favourite brands.
From COS' best-selling crossbody bag to other equally covetable Bottega options, read on to discover our edit of the best bright bags to shop this season.
