@thatgirlyusraWith fall comes lots of layering—and, inevitably, taking the layers off when the weather isn't as chilly as you expected. That, my friends, is where a tote bag comes in handy to stash knits, scarves, an extra pair of shoes—you name it. But when it actually does get cold, you'll also need the extra room to throw in some mittens, beanies, and lip balms to combat chilly winds. In any case, a roomy tote bag is basically a must-have for the cold season ahead.
Below, I rounded up 31 totes in all sorts of shapes and price points, from wallet-friendly finds to true investment pieces. Let's be real, if you currently have a pile of untouched tote bags you somehow got for free, why not buy one you'll actually wear time and again? I threw some trends in the mix like red hues (the color is really having a moment!), suede fabrics, quilted textures, and oversize shoppers. Fingers crossed you find a chic tote or two that speak to you. Though, I get the feeling that it's a done deal.
The Le Pliage Longchamp bags remain a classic for a reason. I'm very partial to this warm brown color and the embroidered logo on this style.
Reformation released its first bags this year, and this Vittoria silhouette is both roomy and stylish with its bow strap and asymmetrical shape.
Did your jaw just drop? Mine did when I saw this rich chocolate style with a silver clasp.
Cuyana's popular tote has multiple straps, so you can wear it at different lengths, and the buttery-soft Italian leather will stand the test of time.
A graphic print is super striking; plus, your wallet will be all about the price of this one.
The gold hardware, woven texture, and multiway strap make this Bottega Veneta bag a standout.
A hybrid between a tote and bucket bag never looked so good.
A tote that doubles as a pillow is always a good idea. But joking aside, you'll love how much you can fit into this shopper.

This pebbled faux-leather bag is in a showstopping shade of green.
Naghedi's bags are woven with durable, water-resistant fabric, so you're really getting your money's worth. The check design of this is perfect for fall.
A suede tote is timeless, and you can adjust the length of the strap with a convenient buckle.
A longer shoulder strap ensures this fits snugly in the crook of your arm.
Still into this whole red trend. Accessorize with the hue in the form of this puffy quilted bag with secure zipper pockets to keep everything organized.
For an everyday tote, look no further than this Coach one with the signature tassel.
This tote has lined interior, magnetic closure, chic side ties, and a contrasting handle.
Obsessed with a tote that looks expensive without actually being expensive.
Opt for a patchwork situation to make your 'fit a '70s-inspired moment.
For the minimalists out there, this sleek design is for you.
The texture is unreal. It also has buckles on the side to help keep the structure, or you can loosen them if you have to cram more in your bag.

If you're looking for a sophisticated tote with a deeper shape, this tan one is calling your name.
You've heard of Aritzia's Super Puff jackets, but it also has Super Puff totes. They're made with a water-repellent and wind-resistant ripstop fabric, so they'll hold up against any fall and winter elements.
