Fashion seems to not like necks at the moment.

First it was the obligatory roll-neck layered under everything, and then it was the neck scarves; skinny and hanging loose or the paisley handkerchief.

For whatever reason we’re being encouraged to keep it covered, or at the very least obscured from view.

And as the most recent shows demonstrated this isn’t set to change, in fact Prada and Loewe in particular want you to put your neck on the line and to good use.

Still wearing your bag cross-body with your possessions safely tucked inside? Don’t be so boring. Embrace the neck bag, sling your keys around a chocker, or make like Rihanna at a recent Lakers game and take the bag you already own and throw it around your neck?

Either way we’re intrigued by this new micro micro-bag trend and interested to see how the early adopters will wear theirs in the coming season.
