A Ladylike Pastel Tote Will Ease You Into Fall

Photo: ASOS

Forgo the usual brown or black tote this fall — and instead try a large blue shopper to carry your essentials. Its matte finish and muted color are the ideal thing to play against rich fall colors, like burgundy or orange, and it’s big enough to use as an everyday work bag or to carry you through weekend errands.

Leather Bag With Metal Handles, $154.78 at Asos.
