Jennifer Garner Carried a Bucket Tote Bag, Get the Look from $27

Along with a good pair of walking shoes, there’s another everyday essential that’s needed to hold all of your belongings while you get your steps in: a roomy bag. And Jennifer Garner just ditched her usual tote for this sleek style we would also like to carry instead.

While walking in New York City, the actress wore a spring uniform of fitted jeans, riding boots, and a lightweight sweater. She styled the look with a bucket tote bag, which we’ve spotted on stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Katie Holmes, too. 

Bucket tote bags are similar to regular tote bags in that they offer plenty of space; however, they have a more cylindrical shape and a flat bottom that resembles, well, a bucket. Not only is this more sophisticated-looking than your usual tote, but it also distributes the space differently, so you can hold long items like water bottles and books. And the flat bottom is sturdy to prevent your things from toppling around.

If you already have a tote bag and want to give bucket bags a try, we found ones that remind us of Garner’s below — they start at just $27.

Want to carry a bag that looks just like Garner’s? We found a similar style at Everlane. The bag has an adjustable strap, so you can carry it in your hands or sling it around your shoulder. In addition to the spacious main compartment, the bag has an exterior pocket for quick access to essentials. It’s also made of premium leather that looks oh-so-sleek. 

The Drop Bucket Tote

You can get in on the bucket tote trend with this Amazon find that has an adjustable strap and metal hardware — adding an elegant vibe to your look. The inside section is protected by a zipper to secure your belongings, and you can find a hidden pocket within it. It’s available in three staple hues like beige, burgundy, and black.

Afkomst Leather Bucket Tote

Ditch zippers with this bucket tote that has a drawstring closure instead. The drawstring allows you to customize the size to fit more items or shrink it down when carrying a light load. The bottom is flat and sturdy, so it will stand up on its own if you, say, store it under a plane seat in front of you while traveling. “I get so many compliments on this bucket bag. I actually bought it in three colors,” one five-star reviewer shared. “I was surprised this bag was not $125.”
