Participants of L'OFFICIEL's men's global shopping survey desire adaptable accessories that are anything but binary.

On the runways of recent years, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/mr-porter-celine-homme-hedi-slimane-pop-up-e-boy">menswear</a> and womenswear have joined as single shows, with designers viewing the two less as counterparts and more as equals. Take it from a luxury house&nbsp;like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celine-spring-summer-2021-hedi-slimane-monaco">Celine</a>, which Creative Director Hedi Slimane <a href="https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/celine-shows-menswear-for-the-first-time-in-brands-history">introduced menswear to for Spring/Summer 2019</a> and showed a fully unisex collection for <a href="https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2020-ready-to-wear/celine">Fall/Winter 2020</a>. In the latter, men and women walked the runway in&nbsp;practically&nbsp;identical tailored <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-designer-moto-jackets-to-shop-fall">outerwear</a> and&nbsp;lavalli&egrave;re blouses, displaying both masculine and feminine interpretations of androgyny. Meanwhile, labels like <a href="https://lofficielbaltics.com/en/fashion/the-cfda-2020-award-winners-are-the-most-diverse-cast-yet">Telfar</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/eckhaus-latta-winter-2018">Eckhaus Latta</a>&nbsp;have spearheaded <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/is-gender-neutral-fashion-the-future-here-are-the-brands-to-know-now">gender neutraility</a> in high fashion from the start.

According to L&#39;OFFICIEL&#39;s Fall/Winter 2020 men&rsquo;s global shopping survey, our readers are fond of this setiment. As men gain the courage to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/what-is-soft-boy-aesthetic-harry-styles-timothee-chalamet">break free from implied style rules</a> (with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/harry-styles-fashion-moments-golden-music-video-tattoos-shirtless">Harry Styles</a> covering&nbsp;Vogue&nbsp;in a tiered <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-fall-2020-runway-show">Gucci</a> gown, no less), the fashion forward among them welcome the&nbsp;binary-breaking aesthetics on the runway and in their closets, with versatile bag styles among their favorite accessories of the season.

Ranking at the top of the bag styles selected by&nbsp;our global audience is the&nbsp;intreccio weave clutch by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/bottega-veneta-fall-2020-runway-show">Bottega Veneta</a>, a key piece in the label&#39;s&nbsp;Fall/Winter 2020 collection. A handbag silhouette originally favored by women, men are now embracing the timeless piece. Shoppers appreciate the classic size&mdash;not too small&nbsp;but not oversized to the point of inconvenience for the day-to-day&mdash;and the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/shopping-trends-louis-vuitton-monogram-handbags">heritage</a> quality of the house&#39;s signature pattern.

As designers proved on the runway, understated accessories are not meant to squander creative expression through personal style; rather, they&#39;re the perfect compliment to more <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sexy-shoes-fall-shopping-trend">adventurous</a> pieces. The solid-colored&nbsp;intreccio weave paired naturally with both a neutral, streamlined look and a vibrant, sequined dress.

Moreover, like the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/womens-shopping-trends-functional-handbags-fendi">female shoppers we polled earlier this year</a>, men are gravitating towards neutral-toned accessories, both for the color family&#39;s&nbsp;versatility as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/handbag-resale-gucci-jackie-1961-purse">shopping patterns adapt to the pademic&#39;s precarity</a> and their gender-neutral nature. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/womens-shopping-trends-functional-handbags-fendi">Practicality</a> in function is also favored, with small and medium-sized crossbodies and around-the-shoulder bags, like the multi-pouch offering from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/6-facts-dior-spring-summer-2021-show-maria-grazia-chiuri">Dior</a>,&nbsp;gaining popularity over trend pieces like <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/fashion/trend-micro-bag-makes-way-for-microscopic-bag-from-jacquemus">micro bags</a>.
