Don't take our headlines too seriously. No, you don't need to throw away your skinny jeans, stop wearing ballet flats, or quit fast fashion. At the end of the day, we'll support anything you want to buy or wear that makes you feel good, so you can take our advice or leave it. However, if you want to hear our opinions as fashion experts with decades of experience, you've come to the right place.
As for this particular story, I'm certainly not advocating for you to trash your favorite crossbody bag. There will always be a need for the practical piece that lets you go hands-free. However, if you're looking for something more elegant and fancy for a night out, I have a suggestion: an east-west bag like the one Sofía Vergara just wore to dinner in New York City. The horizontal, rectangular bag shape is hugely popular with fashion insiders right now, so I'm keen to invest in one. If you'd like to join me, scroll down to shop some options.
