How to Style Your Unstructured Bag This Fall
Unstructured bags have been in fashion rotation since the 1930s. They peaked in the 1960s with the rise of bohemian styles, thanks to their relaxed shape and effortless, unfussy feel. Then in the aughts, they had another major resurgence—thanks to celebs like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who reimagined the oversized carry-all in the most luxurious way. Now that many of the 2000s-era fashions have made a comeback (looking at you, asymmetrical tops and bubble skirts), the unstructured bag has circled back around. And this time it’s more versatile than ever.
It’s for this reason that we made it the style star of our Fall Curation! Because our CURATEUR-in-Chief cannot keep enough bags in her collection, she makes it her mission to include one in as many of our seasonal boxes as possible—so you’ll be able to accessorize every outfit for every occasion. Not only does she love an unstructured bag (like the Margaux in our latest curation) because it’s totally on-trend, but it also happens to go seamlessly will all your fall favorites. Think slouchy suit separates, tailored blouses, and curve-hugging sweater dresses.
But to make this bag feel intentional with all of the above, we’ve got a few pro tips. Keep reading for all the info and make sure to sign up for the Fall Curation if you haven’t yet! Not only does it include the season’s hottest bag, but four other Rachel Zoe-approved products to freshen up your wardrobe and beauty routine. And at only $125 for over $500 worth of style, it’s a deal you don’t want to miss.
Pair with Tailored Pieces
For a modern take on the unstructured bag, try styling it with contrastingly tailored pieces. Think blazers, trousers, or crisp white button downs. It will add that touch of effortlessness to an otherwise traditional head-to-toe look.
