Oversized bags came into trend at the perfect moment for me, and I welcomed this shift with genuine relief. This style is not only fashionable but also incredibly practical, especially when your daily life requires you to carry more than just the basics. With a baby, you quickly realize that leaving home lightly is no longer an option. You never know what the day may bring, so the idea of a bag that can hold half of your life suddenly feels not only appealing, but essential.

For me, an oversized bag represents a sense of calm and preparedness. It gives me the freedom to move through the day knowing I have everything I might need. And when your lifestyle becomes more dynamic and less predictable, this feeling becomes priceless. I no longer treat my bag as an accessory; it has turned into a reliable companion that supports me in the most ordinary and the most unexpected moments.

What do I keep inside? The list is long, but every item has its purpose. There are two wallets — mine and my husband’s — because somehow his always ends up in my bag. A few beauty essentials also travel with me: a color stick, a hand cream and a mini perfume from Byredo that add a small moment of comfort throughout the day. I keep a scrunchie in case I need to quickly tie my hair. A separate section always holds my SPF for the face because sun protection has become a non-negotiable part of my routine.

Practicality also plays a huge role. Anti-bacterial wipes, a face mask and hand sanitizer help me stay prepared for crowded spaces or unexpected situations. Sunglasses are always there too, because I never know when I may need them, and I prefer not to depend on the weather forecast. One of the most important parts of my bag these days is my breast pumps by Elvie, which make my on-the-go routine more manageable. I also carry a power bank to keep my devices charged and a bottle of water to stay hydrated throughout the day.

This may sound like a lot, but every item has its role in making my day a little smoother. An oversized bag simply allows me to carry my life comfortably and without stress. And honestly, this trend feels like it was created exactly for women who balance multiple roles and responsibilities.

What about you? Which items are always with you, no matter where you go?
