Tell us otherwise what you will, but we ladies and our obsession with bags pay no attention to that. We know it’s better than owning just one essential bag and calling it a day. But we are also not so stupid to follow changing trends every season. All we’re saying is that every woman needs to own these 12 different types of bags in her wardrobe, no matter what bag styles come and go. Consider these types of bags evergreen and suitable for the specific situation that life has to throw at you. Happy reading and shopping!

When you buy one of these, there are neutral colors.

Oh, the bag that brings back fond memories and lots of nostalgia. However, we want to announce that the backpack is not forgotten, especially since it has so many styles – sophisticated, flirty, edgy – we could go on. This type of bag is also popular for its ease of carrying (on the back or as a shoulder bag), space to fit everything from a laptop to light clothing, and for styling any outfit.

Purely necessary for its appeal and style, the mini purse (many brands also come with a micro mini) is perfect for a night out that only needs your cards, lip gloss, ID, and phone. If you’re a trendsetter, this one will last and look like an unrelenting piece whenever you step out with it.
