Kate Middletoncan’t stop and (hopefully) won’t stop carrying thischic handbag style.
The Princess of Wales, 42, stepped out for the annualChristmas carol concertin December, and once again, we spotted a timeless top-handle bag in tow. On theme with her Chris Kerr coat andHolland Cooper trousers, she accessorized herwinter white outfitwith a$555 Strathberry bag, per the brand, that followed suit.
Top-handle bags look more elevated than a crossbody bag and are more functional than a clutch. You can fit a handful of essentials in them, and when you get tired of holding them, you can wear them on your arms instead. They also pull an entire ensemble together, often tying in various elements of an outfit. TL; DR: They’re probably what your outfit is missing.
