A red crossbody bag is the ultimate statement piece for any occasion — but especially for Valentine’s Day.

For years, a red bag has been a go-to accessory for an all-black ensemble: They demand to be seen. When you walk into the room dressed in black, let the bag do the talking.

Pair it with a black dress, a more casual pairing of black pants, and a black sweater.
