The trendiest bag of the season is the “sausage bag”

Compact yet expressive, the sausage bag fits perfectly into the late ’90s aesthetic, which blends practicality with ironic chic. Its narrow, elongated shape visually lengthens the silhouette, while soft materials add a relaxed, comfortable vibe to any look.

Why everyone’s wearing it:

• It pairs beautifully with oversized coats, sweaters, and puffer jackets.
• It holds all your essentials without weighing down your outfit.
• It looks stylish and “cozy,” especially in leather, suede, or velvet.
• It suits any style—from office-appropriate to streetwear.

Ideal for:

• Petite women—the horizontal elongated shape visually adds height and improves proportions.
• Those with narrow shoulders or a delicate upper frame—it adds just the right volume to balance the figure.
• Fans of minimalist style—it doesn’t overwhelm the look and adds a soft accent.

Less suitable for:

• Women with broad shoulders—especially when carried under the arm, as it can emphasize shoulder width. Opt instead for more vertical shapes (bucket, hobo, or tote bags).
• Those with fuller upper bodies—the sausage bag carried under the arm can add unwanted visual volume. In this case, wear it crossbody, slightly below the waist.
• People who carry many items—the mini format is designed for lightness, not capacity.

• With a classic coat and wide-leg trousers—urban chic.
• With a mini skirt and boots—a nod to early 2000s style making a comeback.
• With a puffer jacket and knitwear—cozy winter casual.

Stylist tip: Choose a bag in soft leather or suede—it holds its shape longer and looks more luxurious.
