This Bag Trend Won't Ever Really Be "Out"
There are a few bags that deserve a place in every woman's closet—they're around every season and will be worn again and again. Among these essential bags are the clutch, the tote, the shoulder bag, and one we're seeing everywhere right now especially: the saddle bag. The style originally served a utilitarian purpose for horse riders but now exudes cool, equestrian-esque style.
Fashion girls like Lauren Santo Domingo are fans of the classic style. Worn over a checked blazer with ankle boots and jeans, the crossbody bag is an easy style that can be thrown over any outfit. Whether you're drawn to more classic, minimalistic versions or ones embellished with tassels or patches, we've rounded up the best 19 saddle bags to buy now.
