Keep your style on point as we share some ways you can incorporate handbag heat into your weekly wardrobe.

Editor’s Note: We’re back for another installment of Female Fit-Check that’s ready to secure the bag. This time around, we’re breaking down handbags available on StockX that you can match your on-the-go lifestyle. Adding an eye-catching bag is the quickest and easiest way to upgrade any fit in your closet. We know that a solid handbag is an investment not to take lightly, so we’re making sure you get your money’s worth out here. Don’t sleep on these bags. Read up.

For The Pop-Up Event

You just got word there’s a new pop-up event tonight. It’ll be a mix of networking and play, so naturally the outfit you choose is going to reflect that vibe. You really can’t go wrong putting biker shorts with anything these days, and a blazer perfectly steps it up a notch. Finish it off with a legendary handbag such as Louis Vuitton Polochon Papillon Messenger from Virgil Abloh’s first collection under Louis Vuitton and you’ve got a guarantee head-turner for the occasion. We have to warn you though, waiters will be tripping, attendees will walk into walls, and the photographer might only focus on you for the night. Hopefully it’s a risk you’re willing to take.

For The Festival

Coachella tickets were purchased 8 months ago, so you’ve been prepping this fit in your mind for a minute. Keep visualizing yourself on Vogue’s style recap. Between the heat, dancing, and a roster of after parties, an eye catching dress with a belt bag is the only way to get through this. The Balenciaga Belt Bag can be worn around the waist or across the chest, and is sure to keep your dress and belongings in tact while dancing to J Balvin in the desert.

For The Museum Exhibition  

Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrors exhibition finally hit your city and you have to get there early tomorrow morning to properly stunt on everyone via IG. There’s a casual vibe with the regular uniform: white t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. The Saint Laurent Kate Monogram is the perfect bag to upgrade your casual look, but is versatile enough to wear for every occasion. For a full day on your feet, this cross body works perfectly for the essentials and is light to carry. The color and detail alone is sure to make a statement in that fire IG photo awaiting upload.

For Retail Therapy

It’s Saturday and you’re heading to SoHo with your friends to drown your sorrows in shopping. Not only is this bag an amazing sight of vintage to see, but it’s also spacious for your potentially regrettable purchases. A simple and comfortable outfit is due because the Dior Toile De Jouy Book Tote really steals the show.

For The Trendy New Dinner Spot

The fan favorite from Top Chef just opened a new dinner spot in town and your friends were able to snag a reservation through a connect. Your fit is pre-fixe like the menu, including a 2-piece suit since they’re having a big moment right now and swapping heels for sneakers (always). In all honesty, we’re drooling at the sight of this Hérmes Kelly Cut Swift Bleu Saphir. This whole outfit put together is two words: Classy Flex.

For The Night Out

You left work having that inner conversation with yourself about staying in tonight…but then your friends called saying they’re going out to that new lounge that just opened. When picking out your outfit, if you’re anything like me, black is your go-to color to hit the town. Although safe, we know there’s something missing. There’s nothing better than adding a pop of color to stand out, specifically fluorescent green in this case. For that extra hand free access when you’re double fisting cocktails, this clutch also comes with a crossbody chain so it can easily go from night to day. Straight from Prada’s Fluo Collection, the Prada Padded Nylon Clutch is one you’ll want to wear out for seasons to come…or just the nights you buckle from FOMO.

That’s all for this month’s edition of Female Fit-Check. Stay tuned for next month’s as we highlight some of the ways to style our favorite women’s products. More importantly, stay Stylish. Stay Cozy.
