It often starts with Alexa Chung, doesn’t it? The perennial It girl still possesses an uncanny ability to put a completely unexpected outfit together and make you want to copy it immediately. That’s what happened to our commerce editor Kristina Rutkowski when she spotted Chung wearing a low-key outfit (trench, tee, twill trousers) with a snazzy lil sequined bag in the crook of her elbow. It’s a trend that started on the runway—bring a party bag (and its energy) to your daytime looks—and it’s so wrong it’s right. Case in point, these outfits.
