The Leading Trends in Designer Backpacks for 2014

While the small clutches and hobo bags dominated the scene over the past few years, the designer backpacks are back in 2014. Leading designers like Tommy Hilfiger and Stella McCartney have set the trends. You simply need to find out what is hot right now to get inspired. Then you can pick the ideal model for you based on your personal preferences.
Retro Style Inspiration
The trendiest designer backpacks have been inspired by the traditional school models worn by students in the beginning of the 20th century. They are perfectly rectangular in shape and quite narrow. They have two to four outside pockets. These models look fabulous and can be paired with all sorts of office outfits. They are super practical as well.
The designers have been inspired by the cruder street style models of the 1990's as well. They have loose bulky shape and a drawstring at the top. This makes them ideal for casual outings and for work as well. If you plan to go to the beach, such a model would be the perfect accessory.
Geometric Shapes
This is perhaps the biggest trend in designer backpacks for 2014. The rectangular models are great for every day and especially for work. The square ones also make super stylish accessories. Depending on their size, they can be used daily or for evening outings. The trapezoid models are particularly chic. They have the shape of the classic women's handbags and the functionality of the modern backpacks. The models with inverse triangular shape are great for wearing on one shoulder. They are particularly elegant and go well even with more sophisticated outfits.
Size Variety
There are no limits when it comes to size. The small models are great for the evening. They are super stylish and can match perfectly all kinds of trendy skirts and dresses. These models can be used for accessorizing more formal outfits as well. The big models are great for every day and for holiday makers too. They can accommodate virtually everything which you need to take with you while giving you a super hip look.
Bright Colors and Animal Prints
There are literally no limits when it comes to the colors and color combinations of the trendiest designer bags in 2014. The black and white models are always hip. The same applies to the monochrome models. At the same time, blue, purple, red, orange, green and yellow in various shades are super stylish as well. You can readily choose models with pastel colors for the more romantic outfits which you have in your wardrobe. The brighter colors can go well with office suits and evening outfits.
The animal prints are also a huge hit right now. The snake skin patterns in bright colors and in classic beige and cream are among the most hip options which you can pick from. The leopard patterns are also quite stylish. They are playful rather than aggressive.
Last, but not least, you should know that the chain straps and the big flashy buckles are among the most stylish embellishments for designer bags in 2014. They are followed by leather tassels and cute ribbons.
