You can really go to town on the decorative features of evening clutch bags. Velvet or satin scattered with sequins will add both a softness and a sparkle to your look. Beaded decorations on clutch handbagsgive them a nice weight and make them feel and look expensive. If they’re in contrasting shades, the beads will also brighten an outfit if you have opted for more muted colours or a monotone outfit. Features such as rosette flowers – whether small and subtle or big, bold and bright – add a touch of fun and flair to your bag. If you’re looking at leather clutch handbags for evening wear, choose a patent rather than a matte finish. The shiny patent will reflect the light and look more ‘special’ than plain leather. Simple patent bags look elegant, but ones with added details such as chain handles, diamante decorations or studded patterns will add further to the style of the bag. Even something as apparently inconspicuous as clasp details can make your clutch bag look spectacular. Vintage-look (or even genuine vintage) clutch bags make for an extra-special evening accessory that will set you apart from the crowd.
Clutch handbags are the ultimate accessory. Sophisticated, casual, fun, professional… a clutch handbag can enhance whatever look you’re trying to achieve. Fashions in handbag shapes and sizes change from season to season – from large totes that can carry everything but the kitchen sink, to wrist bags only big enough to hold the taxi fare home – but the clutch is the staple of ladies handbags, the one that never goes out of style. A few well-chosen clutches can see you through every occasion and will last you for years if you want them to.
