The baguette never really left — it just got more refined. Worn right, it is the chic underarm bag of now.
Wear It Short, Under the Arm
An underarm baguette worn short sits at the ribs and reads intentional. The crossbodies in a slim baguette shape are the modern pick.
Pair With Clean Lines
A plaid baguette loves a simple knit and trousers. The handbags in a small scale keep the look grown-up.
The Rule
Pro tip: the baguette is an underarm bag — wear the strap short. Slung long it loses the silhouette that makes it iconic.
Shop the baguette crossbodies.
