In the ever-evolving world of trends, oversized tote bags have really triumphed this year. They’re stylish accessories and runway favorites, but moreover, they cater to the demands of modern, on-the-go lifestyles. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, larger-than-life totes seamlessly blend fashion and functionality, making them a staple for individuals navigating bustling schedules. In an era of multifaceted needs, oversized tote bags stand out as more than a fad; they are a practical solution, offering a perfect marriage of form and function.

Jessy Dover, co-founder and CCO at Dagne Dover, loves an oversized tote. “From my experience, people tend to buy bags that are too small for their needs,” she says. And you know what? Dover is right, as evidenced by the micro-bag trend. Let’s stop kidding ourselves about how much we truly schlep around.

Over at Polène, another popular bag brand, head of design Juliette Hoffman speaks to the importance of a bag’s capacity, saying, “it needs to be spacious enough to accommodate all of one’s essentials but not be too heavy. Care must be taken with the materials used to avoid extra weight.” Hoffman also recommends paying attention to the mouth of a bag, too. “A good tote bag should have a generous opening to allow quick and easy access to its contents,” she continues. “This contributes to a better organization and more efficient use of the bag on a daily basis.”

While the reasons to have an oversized tote in your arsenal are virtually endless, we curated a list of bags that offer the best of both worlds. From classic canvas totes to leather work bags—and even some styles adjacent to hobo bags—there’s something for every taste and budget. Below, the 22 best oversized tote bags to add to your wardrobe now.
