Fur, both real and faux, made appearances on almost every Fall runway we can think of. But with our wallets still on lockdown, we won’t be splurging on a cushy chubby anytime soon. That’s why we’re liking fur bags, especially this Angel Jackson clutch. We can try the trend on for size without dipping into the savings account. Click the image to shop.

One of the strongest color stories from Resort has been super-hot yellows, but you don’t have to sport an eye-searing cocktail dress à la Roksanda Illincic to get in on the trend. If you prefer neutrals to brights, we recommend taking a page from Phoebe Philo’s playbook by adding a pop of fluoro to your minimalist attire via a sleek statement bag. Philo’s drool-worthy new neon Classic bag won’t be out for a while, but this gem-shaped box clutch from Hervé Léger isn’t a half-bad substitute. And as Tommy Ton’s pics from Milan can attest, tiny clutches are making a big splash this summer. Click the image to shop.

Ever since Alexander Wang’s Spring gridiron-inspired show, we’ve been dreaming of his football-shaped bag. Sure, we loved the sexy, sportif sweatshirts and leopard-print wedges, but the kitsch clutch stood out. Would it actually be produced, or was it simply a fantastic show piece? Well, Wang fanatics, it’s for real. Touchdown! Click the image to shop.

We’ve clearly had leopard print on the brain this week; check out our spotty picks here. But we just couldn’t resist sharing one more. Alber Elbaz never fails to charm us with his witty and sweet accessories for Lanvin, and this colorful jungle cat clutch, complete with green and red beading, would make the ultimate stocking stuffer for your best-loved fashionista.
