At the AW22 runway shows, many designers showed off so-called “hobo” bags. Hobo bags come in many different shapes and sizes – what they all have in common is a crescent-shaped silhouette, top zip fastening and a slouchy look. They used to fall under the “bohemian” style, but this fall-winter season they have served as an accessory for a variety of looks, from casual to tailored. FashionUnited has compiled ten favorites of the season.
