H&M Just Dropped a $25 Version of a Major Street Style Bag Trend
Who What Wear editors are always on the lookout for emerging trends, and when fashion week rolls around, it turns into a friendly competition. Since two is a coincidence, but three signals a trend, it's easy to identify accessories, shapes, and even colors that are on the rise before they're absolutely everywhere. But let's not pat ourselves on the back too quickly; the bright-orange bag trend is pretty easy to spot.
Stylish people from NYC to Stockholm have been caught carrying bright-orange bags, which, surprisingly, go with everything. Whether you're adding the bright bag to punch up an otherwise everyday look or simply having the most fun possible with an array of colors, this street style trend is easy to participate in and enjoy at practically any price. In fact, H&M recently rolled out its version of the trend with a shapely shoulder bag that comes in electric orange. The best part? At just $25, it's too good not to take out for a spin this weekend, no matter where your plans take you.
Okay, now that orange bags are officially on your radar too, we've pulled several eye-catching styles that are sure to stop street style photographers and fashion fanatics in their tracks. So which orange will you pick?

We're not sure what's more eye-catching: the shape or the color.
An everyday bag made even more elegant with a beaded top handle and bold color.
And of course, it wouldn't be a serious street style trend without Loewe's iconic Puzzle bag getting in on the action.
