As someone who is chronically late, I struggle to give myself enough time to dream up a put-together outfit in the morning. ButAngelina Joliejust showed me the easiest way to look sleek without trying, especially when traveling — a monochrome black outfit with aroomy tote bag.

While stepping out in Paris with daughter Zahara, the actress wore dark flared trousers and a staple V-neck sweater, which I can mix and match with various items in my closet. She styled the look with a larger-than-life tote bag.

Oversized totes are a trend we’ve spotted onKatie Holmes, Jennifer Lawrence, and countless other celebrities — the bag style is as fashionable as it is functional, ideal for those days when you’re carrying clothes, a laptop, makeup, and other miscellaneous items. With holiday travel coming up, I’m relying on the spacious bag to get me through long flights and weekend trips.

You can, too, with these similar roomy tote bags — plus more Jolie-inspired trousers and V-neck sweaters for countless winter outfits.
