Tips for Choosing the Perfect Bag

Pairing your outfit with the right accessories can be a task. From deciding which earring to choose to going through your shoe closet to pick the right footwear, the choices are numerous. However, one of the biggest accessory decisions that you have to make is choosing which bag to carry when you go out, especially for bigger events like parties and dinners.

With so many bags, clutches and pouches online, the internet has confused people even more. Here are a few tips that will help you choose better the next time you are stepping out and are stuck in a dilemma. 


Body Structure

The first thing you need to ensure when you are choosing your bag, either from the internet or from your closet is that your bag should always complement your body structure. If you are a petite and small person then a clutch will suit you perfectly and it will not overshadow your outfit. Similarly, you can also choose between bigger bags with bling to complement your tall height and built. If you do belong to the latter group, you can also go for bigger clutches and sling bags for a perfect mix of style and function.

Utility

Choose your bags according to the particular event you will be taking it for. If it is for college or for work, you can easily use a tote bag or a sling bag because you will be carrying a lot of items that will not be feasible for bags with smaller footprints. Similarly, if you are going out to attend a party or a dinner date, a small clutch shall suffice. You can even get card holders online and use them as a clutch alternative as they are tiny, chic and carry only your essentials.

Colour

It is very important to coordinate your bag according to the color of your outfit. If you want a bag that you can use regularly then it is wise to buy black or very dark shades like brown or dark blue. Nowadays, even neutral and tan brown shades are getting a lot of traction so it is also a popular choice. If your needs are niche, like using your clutch or bag only for parties then make sure you buy bling colors or bright colors that can make you and your outfit shine.

Material 

This is a very crucial thing to keep in mind when you are choosing or buying your bag. The material of the bag should be sturdy and durable along with being stylish and chic for a long time. The ideal material for bags is leather as they do not weather down easily and also last very long. Bags with questionable fabric or construction can droop or look flabby which might pull your whole look down.
