Although sisters Sofia and Nicole Richie have many things in common, I always thought that their taste in style was one of their few distinct differences. Always associating Nicole Richie with a more un-done, boho aesthetic, and Sofia Richie Grainge with a quiet luxury vibe—their latest outfits just put in to question everything I thought I knew.
Proving that they have even more in common than I imagined, the two stepped out styling the same autumn bag trend in very similar ways this weekend. Pushing aside the brown and black handbags that fashion people often reach for across the autumn months, the two sisters instead plucked rich burgundy bags to complete their weekend looks. Selecting a Hermes Kelly bag in a deep burgundy shade, Richie Grainge wore hers slung casually over her body with a simple t-shirt and trouser outfit. Adding a flush of colour into her black and white look, Richie Grainge’s sleek bag choice kept her outfit feeling refined and chic, but far from boring.
Whilst Richie Grainge chose a style large enough to see her through her day’s worth of activities, her sister’s choice was neat, compact, and perfect for evening styling. Selecting a small burgundy bag in a supple suede composition Richie’s bag choice felt chic and sophisticated and easily elevated her jeans and t-shirt outfit. Matching her bag to shoe hers, Richie also employed the clever styling trick that fashion people come back to all the time.
It’s no surprise that the bag trend is catching on right now, as the trend made a huge impact on the runways in a February. Appearing across Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Ferragamo’s A/W 2024 collections, the rich hue rivalled its black and brown counterparts as the style know about this season. Styling well with soft shades such as butter yellows or rosy pink, the shade also works incredibly well with rich autumnal shades, including khaki, as Richie demonstrated with her subtle khaki layer over the weekend.
