To all my fellow minimalists looking to branch out sartorially, you don’t need to overhaul your entire wardrobe to usher in a new style. In fact, the devil is in the (styling) details. Instead of retiring your neutrals-heavy wardrobe, a statement bag — be it a travel-friendly clutch or a spacious tote — is all you need to instantly upgrade your look. As for the self-described maximalists who may already be well-versed in the power of a statement bag, there’s always a new standout style to add to your stash. But which head-turning bags actually fit seamlessly into any closet (and lifestyle)?

Coach’s Tabby — one of the brand’s iconic signatures derived from an archival 1970s design — is an especially versatile statement purse. Not only does it come in a variety of sizes (20, 26 and 36, to be exact), but it also offers a wide range of colorways and textures for any aesthetic. For example, the Tabby Shoulder Bag 20‘s suede fuchsia iteration serves as a perfect pop of color for any wardrobe, while the style’s 26 size comes in a bedazzled crystal signature jacquard for those looking for a touch of sparkle.

This season, fringe bags have been making the rounds on the runways (and on the shoulders of showgoers). Coach’s Faye Shoulder Bag, a crossbody style bedecked in all-around suede fringe, is the perfect starting point for a first standout purse. With detachable straps for crossbody or shoulder wear, the Faye silhouette’s brown colorway plays well with any outfit, while its fringe detailing adds a burst of personality.

Whether you’re beginning to incorporate new hues into your closet or you’re a professional at color blocking, the Brooklyn bag delivers a minimalist — yet still spacious — silhouette in an irresistible cherry-red shade. (Accessorize it with Coach’s viral cherry bag charm, and you’re good to go.) Speaking of spacious bags, Coach’s City Tote also serves as a roomy work-approved purse that’s available in vibrant shades of sky blue and hot pink.

Of course, a statement bag doesn’t automatically equate to bright colors, textural details and oversized silhouettes. Sleek, dark leather is also an eye-catching quality, as seen in the Brooklyn bag’s chocolate brown colorway and the Chelsea bag’s inky black pouch paired with a chain strap. These styles are both great points of entry into the statement bag universe — and perfect for fall, might I add.
