Wearing a gorgeous bag with your winter look is the easy styling hack to follow this season. Here’s our edit of the best high street styles to shop now…
We Brits love to talk about all things weather, so naturally the cold snap is on everyone’s lips right now. Because, well, it’s pretty damn chilly, isn’t it? No doubt your puffer coat and thermals are your new best friends, and we are fully with you. But given that you likely throw on the same winter coat over every outfit, every day, it can feel a bit mundane. Instead of having to invest in new outerwear, though, our favourite styling hack is to think about the accessories you accompany it with.
We’ve already told you the humble scarf is having a style moment (big, bold and bright is the order of the day) but now it’s time to talk bags. There are so many stunning new season styles dropping in, and we don’t just mean the designer iterations. The high street has wowed us by ticking off this season’s key colours, supersize shapes and Zara even has personalised styles. The best part? Our favourite bags are all under £100. Get ready for everyone asking where you got these beauties from…
Next patchwork shoulder bag
Everything about this bag makes it a winner. From the contrasting patchwork design to the twisted straps, you could easily be fooled into thinking this faux leather style is a designer find.
Charles & Keith Cockade crescent hobo bag
Say hello to the high street bag giving off some serious Prada vibes. The crescent shape, burgundy hue and silver hardware is ticking off so many 2024 trends in one.
Mango padded bowling bag
For the Miu Miu autumn/winter look on a Mango budget, it’s all about this bowling bag. Channelling the designer for under £30, you’ll want to wear this padded pink style with a grey or burgundy outfit.
Zara crossbody bag
This tan bag with contrast stitching looks so premium, and it comes with both a faux leather shoulder strap and a canvas longer strap to wear as a crossbody. Want even more good news? For £3, you can also get your initial (in any of the 11 colours to choose from) embroidered on the long version.
Cos ripple crossbody
Everyone is obsessed with Cos’s quilted bags, and now there’s a new one in town. The ripple croissant-shaped crossbody also comes in black, but we love this cool blue hue to liven up grey, tan or navy outerwear.
H&M shopper
When it comes to bags this season, the bigger the better. Supersize totes took over the runways, and the high street has luckily taken note of this handy carry-everything (including the kitchen sink) trend.
Marks & Spencer leather woven shoulder bag
Whether you choose this cream style or the black, this woven wonder will be your new favourite everyday bag to wear with any outfit. Made from real leather, it looks far fancier than its under-£100 price tag.
Anthropologie Melie Bianco Larissa woven shoulder bag
If you love the Bottega Veneta Jodie bag, you’ll love this iteration from Anthropologie – the woven style gives it that designer look, and with grey being one of this season’s key colours, it’s bound to sell out.

Free People slouchy carryall
If you haven’t heard by now, red is the colour of the season/year. To get in on the trend, why not try out a bright bag to wear with an otherwise neutral outfit? If red isn’t your thing, though, this practical slouchy style also comes in 10 other colours.
