Oversized, slouchy bags are predicted to be a trend for the 2026 fall season, according to the latest fashion predictions. Luxury retailers like Bottega Veneta and The Row are leading the way with their large, lived-in bags. These designer bags are meant to be carried with a relaxed, lived-in look, and can comfortably fit items like a cable-knit sweater, plaid blanket, and a pumpkin-spice container.

Bottega Veneta's Jodie bag, priced at $5,100, is an example of a designer bag that is big enough to be worn over the shoulder. Its size and neutral gray color make it a perfect fit for fall. Meanwhile, The Row's Jean Shoulder Bag, priced at $3,900, is nearly three inches longer and taller than the classic Coach Brooklyn bag, but has a slouchy design that gives it a more casual, lived-in feel.

For those looking for a more affordable option, Free People's cinched tote bag is a colorful and practical choice. Priced at $78, the bag comes in six different colors and has multiple pockets for carrying essentials throughout the autumn months. Meanwhile, Songmont's medium Gather bag is a more budget-friendly option at $599. The bag is big enough to accommodate a sweater and blanket, but not so large that it becomes overwhelming.

Overall, fashion fans and stylists alike are raving about the growing popularity of larger-than-life bags as fall approaches.
