Colors, fabric and size

In terms of colors for fall, you can pretty much stick to a palette built of shades of grey, navy, charcoal, burgundy and black. White, most shades of brown, as well as yellow, can look great as well, depending on your bag’s quality and choice of fabric.

Speaking of fabrics, you cannot go wrong with choosing leather, but if the style proves to be too expensive or too heavy there are always other options to consider. Canvas makes for a suitable alternative, along with suede, nylon and tweed.
The size of your bag should be directly proportional to your list of daily essentials. If you usually don’t carry much, except for a few documents, a pouch would do for you. If you walk around with magazines, books, tablets and other such things, than probably a messenger bag or a tote might be the best thing for you
