Structure vs. Slouch: What's your bag style?

[bunny]

I much prefer slouchy hoboesque handbags. I have a variety of bags in my collection and most of them are slouchy.

Consider me a "Slouch Potato"! There's nothin' like a puddle of yummy leather.

Another vote for Slouchy puddly bags! Never was a fan of structured bags.

I like both. It just depends on where I'm going, like work/school/shopping....etc.

I love love love structure but I wouldn't be able to use something that is rigid. It has to have a structured base, but the rest of it can be a little slouchy. My RM MAM was great because it was pretty structured so I could put stuff in it without it rolling all around and being in different places when I opened it up. I got a Matt & Nat Kali Hobo which also has a structured base but no structure on the top. Stuff rolls around, but its okay because I don't use it for work. Its my bright pink going out bag! =)

I like both. It depends entirely on the look of the bag and the if it's for school/work/every day. I do tend to lean more towards the slouch that hugs the body though.

Slouchy. I have the odd structured bag, but smooshy, soft leather makes me happiest.

I like both but tend to go for the slouchy ones more

I have both. Hadn't really thought much about it until now. Most of them are structured or somewhat structured and a few are slouchy.

I have a lot of hobo style bag because I prefer a more slouchy bag. The only "somewhat" structured bag I have is my LV Tivoli.

i said slouchy but like most people i prefer middle ground (ie LV speedy or coach sabrina) some bags (ie hermes) are so structured it is hard to get in and out of.

I used to carry structured bags but moved onto slouchy and never came back.

This is an old thread but I'd like to know how you all are feeling now. It seems like structured bags are maybe more popular these days but as much as they look nice on others, I think I still prefer something with soft leather.

I have a few very structured bags (my Prada saffiano tote perhaps being the best example) which I like using for more formal dinners or when I go to office for work, but I realized that majority of my handbags actually fall under the slouchy (or at least, more slouchy than structured) category. I suppose it's also because I work from home majority of the time now, and only go to office once in awhile when I have to go for face-to-face meetings - so the need for a more formal-looking bag is not so high. My vibe/style outside of work suits slouchy bags better.
