I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like it’s taking a while to adapt to the changing seasons and new needs for knitwear. Just when you think you’ve really started getting into summer style, it’s suddenly fall and you need to remind yourself how to dress chicly for the cooler months. Not wanting to be swallowed up by chunky knits and oversized jackets, I’ve been looking for ways to maintain the polished vibe I’ve had in recent months. Thanks to a few celebrities, we think we’ve found the solution.
Nowadays, I rely on accessories to elevate my outfits. Inspired by the chic handbag trend that my favorite celebrities are using to spice up their casual looks, this fall I’m officially bringing a sophisticated burgundy bag to market.

I’ve seen Jennifer Lawrence use chic accessories to refine her relaxed outfits, and I’m hoping that her burgundy bag will do the same. Wearing a slouchy cardigan, simple white T-shirt, and relaxed black pants, Lawrence added structure to her look with a burgundy bag with croc embellishments on the top handle. Lawrence, who has an enviable collection of designer bags in her wardrobe, is one of the first celebs I turn to for accessory inspiration as the seasons change, and her crimson pouch has made me feel good again .
Actor Gwyneth Paltrow, who also opted for a handbag in a rich merlot hue, styled her Hermès Birkin with a relaxed V-neck knit and cropped dark-wash jeans while in Paris this week. It may be a casual outfit, but Paltrow’s chic holdall infused her outfit with her well-known elegant energy.

As the seasons change, the burgundy bag trend taps into the rich color palette found in nature this time of year. Adding luxurious tones to an outfit creates depth and gives it an extra dimension. Its runway appearances at many fall 2024 shows, including those from Chloé, Miu Miu, Jil Sander, and more, proved that this wearable shade remains as relevant as ever.
Another elite member of the burgundy bag club is Sofia Richie Grainge. She also jumped on the trend last month when she was spotted wearing head-to-toe Hermès style on a shopping trip in LA. Perfect for hands-free mom life and other outfits. As understated as Lawrence and Paltrow’s respective looks were, her sophisticated bag choice made her ensemble feel even more sophisticated.
Not only am I inspired to try this trend myself, I’ve hand-picked the best burgundy bags you can buy right now.
