3 Fall Bag Color Trends Celebs Are Already Wearing

published 13 August 2024

Always one step ahead of new-season trends, some of my favorite celebrities are already incorporating major fall buys into their daily wardrobes this month. Stepping out wearing elegant fall colors, actors Tracee Ellis Ross and Katie Holmes along with model Elsa Hosk are all readying themselves for the change of the season in the chicest way.

While summer calls for colorful accessories—think coral, blue, and yellow—the fall months are a time for reeling things in and turning to those richer, more refined shades. Taking this on board, Ellis Ross elevated a casual sneaker-and-blazer ensemble with a rich burgundy bag just last week. With a sculptural silhouette, the Loewe bag refined her off-duty outfit while layering a point of interest into the cream-and-navy palette.

Tracee Ellis Ross carries a burgundy bag with a black blazer, a white t-shirt, white sweatpants, and multicolored Asics sneakers.

A perennial fashion favorite, the burgundy color trend comes back year after year, but for fall 2024, the color is set to level up in popularity and truly saturate fashion. Appearing on countless runway shows and peppering designer collections, the burgundy bag trend is already destined to be one of the biggest of the season.

Stepping out in a similarly casual look, Holmes used a trending fall tone to add some polish to her laid-back outfit. A small leather tote in a light caramel, the actor's chic bag added warmth to her outfit and complemented its tones.

Katie Holmes carries a brown Khaite bag while wearing a brown-and-white striped button-down shirt, gray sweatpants, fisherman sandals, and brown sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Hosk opted for a richer iteration of a brown bag with a chocolate shade, which she used to accompany her blue button-down and white pants. Dark and decadent, this expensive-looking bag trend is set to thrive next season. In my opinion, dark brown is just as chic as black for the cooler months and always styles well with gold jewelry.

Elsa Hosk wears a chocolate brown Gucci bag with a blue-and-white striped button-down and white trousers with a belt.
