How to Up Your Street Style with Sling Bags

If a modern maiden needs one accessory to conquer the world, it’s a sling bag. Slings bags for women are probably the most popular accessory since the invention of no-pocket jeans. And as seen on our favourite street style stars, sling bags are a must-have carryall of the season. Structured, sturdy and stylish, these little bags weigh half as much as your tote, but make a statement bigger than one. So swap out your clutch, throw out your totes. This season, it’s all about rocking the right sling bag. Here is how you can do it too:

Don’t hide your quirks
If you want to create iconic street style looks, you have to step out of the ordinary mold and embrace your odd quirks. Square bags are so passé. It’s time for eccentric designs, flashy colours, and odd shapes to shine on your arm. Pair these pieces with solid coloured outfits for a neutral note and make your bag the centre of attention. Make a statement by stepping away from the standard. Don’t shy away from showing your colourful personality, though. If you want to rock a printed dress with your bag, go ahead and do it. Make sure to keep your colour palette in mind, so the tones of your outfit can be highlighted effectively. 

Show your metal
Going for a glitzy date night? Opt for a chin-strap bag and let the metal do the talking. Bronze, gold, silver and more – sling bags for girls and ladies alike are available with all sorts of metal embellishments. And if PFW was any indication, the fashion world is totally loving this shiny trend right now. Wear these sling bags cross body-style, adorn it over your shoulder or crumple up the chain to carry it shorthanded. Make a powerful statement by opting your chain-strap bag with a single-coloured power suit. Or create a dynamic look with a gauzy dress and a structured bag of a poppin’ metal shade.

Basic isn’t bad
While having an arm candy that stands out is great, sometimes all you need is something basic. Especially if you’re going to have to use more things than your wallet, a basic sling bag can always be dependable. For students, college slings bags are an ideal choice for a simple outfit option. Pair them with ripped skinny jeans, a crop top and top it up with a jacket of your choice. Our choice for a laid-back look has always been a faded denim jacket. If you’re in the mood for high-fashion without wanting to put the effort, then opt for a branded sling bag with your outfit. If the brand or designer’s name is visibly obvious, brownie points to you.
