I'm 5'2" and Finally Coming Around to the Giant Bag Trend—See Which I'm Eyeing
While I may decode the latest fashion trends and It items for a living, as a careful shopper myself, I'm rarely the first to spend on one. Instead, I like to wait a bit to make sure something feels like it has staying power, confirm it works for my petite frame, is true to my relatively classic style, seems practical, and is something I'll actually love long-term. In short, I like to avoid buyers remorse, and as such, I'm always a little late to the game—by design.
Hopefully this explains why I've only now come around to the giant bag trend, as modeled so effortlessly by the always-cool Hailey Bieber above. Sure, I've been intrigued for a while, but as a 5'2" girlie who often buys mini bags because they look regular size on me, I had to make sure I felt like it really worked and wouldn't be something I get over quickly. So here we are. I've finally bought in, and in case you haven't taken the leap yourself either, I thought I'd share the options currently in the running. Just keep scrolling to see what's on my preliminary list!
