Studded bag - classic or too trendy?

Twinklette · Mar 4th, 2008, 01:02 PM

I'm considering buying a studded bag (black w/studs all over) and am wondering if it's too much for daily use or if it's too trendy? I'd love some thoughts - thanks!

Well, I'm biased because I love studs, but I think it depends on what you would be wearing with it. Great with jeans and casual wear, not so much with a business suit. Which bag are you considering?

I Happen To Love Studs, Too. They Remind Me Of The Punk Era, And They Have A Certain Motocycle/rocker Chic...

I Think They Are Always Cool!

I Ve Seen A Lot Of Sandals This Season With Studs On Them, Too.

trendy but oh so fabulous!

Trendy IMO. They were not that popular until celebs started wearing them and even then, though they look great, you dont see them as often as you see the true classics. But if you wear it right, you could definitely use it as an everyday bag.

"true classics" = BLAH!

Be a rock star! Who wants to look like everyone else on the block with a classic bag?

(Sorry, no offense, volleyballgal- just MHO!)

i am not a huge stud person...but i don't think they are a "classic" look...but i don't think they will be going anywhere soon. if you love them, get it! who cares?

Trendy.

chicclick · Mar 4th, 2008, 07:26 PM

Definitely trendy with a cool rock-n-roll influence. I'd say go for it, but I'm not into the classic look so I'm a bit biased.

Trendy, but fun. I have a bag with studs on it and love it.

It depends, if it's like a Thomas Wylde bag, the skull look is so over!! Otherwise if it's regular studs I don't think those really ever go out of style but they're definitely more casual.

All that really matters is if YOU like it.

I have a black studded bag that I only wear with jeans, but it is most definitely a favorite look. The Rock N Roll look is so fun. I can't imagine studs ever completely going out of style.

tano expert · Mar 4th, 2008, 09:17 PM

I agree that the skull thing is passe. But studs ALWAYS look cool!

schadenfreude · Mar 4th, 2008, 09:34 PM

I adore studs! Post pictures or a link!

FWIW, I'm not entirely convinced that skulls are completely over. Tacky, cheap, Hot Topic like skulls - yes - done - yuck. But I still like subtle skull stuff done in high end materials, paired with simple pieces.
