You are obviously far more fashionable than me. Apart from minis, I wouldn't know a current 'it' bag if it hit me on the head
I wore my Alma monogram PM and felt like a "fuddy-duddy".

I guess the "it' bags that I see are-the LV Coussin, and the Bottega Cassette.

Personally, I enjoy wearing both very classic LV bags such as Noe mono and classic speedy 25 mono and my newer pieces such as the new Boulogne with a chain or Felicie on a multi pochette strap. It depends on the vibe of the day. Love having a variety in my bags 
It bags come and go
.The reason why the Chanel reissue (1955) the Hermes Kelly (1930s as a Sac Depeche) and Gucci Bamboo Top-handle (1947) are called classics are because they are reissued again and again, never really out of fashion.The Alma is almost a century old, created in the Modern age (1930 - high Art Deco).
You have taste!
You have style!
You have a classic!
You have summed it up perfectlyIt bags come and go

I think this is indeed very subjective. You chose that outfit for a reason that day and then you let others indirectly make you feel old-fashioned - which definitely wasn't the case. I am pretty sure nobody actually thought that. Probably some even thought that you look really cool with that outfit and the classic Alma. I am not a fan of "IT-Bags" they are hot for a season and then they are out and never be seen again. The Alma is forever. Wear her with confidence

I love using my 27 yr old Alma pm. I think it’s a classic.. I actually love when I see someone wearing a well loved classic LV bag. Funny, I get most compliments and comments when I’m carrying my Galliera pm. I had a woman come up to me the other day in the grocery store just to tell me that it is her favorite LV bag ever. I also love carrying my classic Speedys.
I went through the same feelings with my alma in damier ebene too. I bought it because it’s a classic but never reached for it. I ended up selling it and have never regretted it. I later realized what my problem was with the bag. It’s too “dressy” for my style. I have a laid back, casual style. White t shirt, ankle jeans and Oran sandals are my summer dress code . All of my bags are either shoulder bags or cross body bags. Maybe you are similar and that’s why it felt fuddy duddyish?

It looks like these days everyone is either carrying small crossbody bags or large totes like the size of a Neverfull. You don’t see many people carrying medium handheld sized bags that much anymore. Maybe that’s why it feels dated. I prefer a medium sized bag because I carry too much. I noticed a lot of women out in Central London carrying small crossbody bags including a lot with chain straps and a canvas tote on the shoulder to carry extra things.
Girl, sounds like your rocked that Alma! It is a classic, while lots of those It bags, come and go at the drop of a hat. Maybe you can try a strap, or chain or some satin twillys wrapped around the handles for a different look
I saw someone carrying the vintage mono alma PM when I was in Seoul. It caught my eye! She looked fab even with a purse charm on it. (It was a fur ball charm) But tbh, it hard to look bad carrying this or speedy bag. LOL
Maybe you've just outgrown the style. How you feel wearing something is valid, and if it makes you feel fuddy-duddy (funny wording!) then move on from it and sell it. Get a bag that reflects how you want to feel and gives you positive thoughts about yourself.
