Imagine: It's 2012 and log on to Youtube. In the mix of makeup tutorials with Urban Decay's popular Naked Palette and Prank videos, you'll find your favorite beauty gurus and vloggers sharing what's in their pockets. The video trend was rampant, and from the beauty staples to the random selection of items they had with them, viewers were eager to know. I was in high school at the time and although the only thing in my pocket at the time were textbooks, I couldn't help but attract my curiosity and watch what everyone was keeping in their black hole of a purse.
While nostalgic trends have surfaced heavily lately, I thought I'd relive these videos and ask my colleagues at Who What Wear about the must-have items they keep in their bags, along with their current handbag selection. What you keep in your pocket is something more personal than you think as it can tell a short story about someone and how they think about their day and what they need in any situation. Some like to keep their supplies minimal while others like to be prepared with everything. If you're curious about which fashion editors keep them on the go, keep scrolling.
