The clutch is the most elegant and most intimidating bag in any wardrobe. Here is everything you need to know about carrying a clutch with confidence.
When to Carry a Clutch
Weddings, galas, cocktail parties, formal dinners, theater performances. Not for the office, grocery store, or gym.
The Three Types
The envelope clutch is the most versatile. The minaudiere is for black-tie events. The wristlet is the practical hybrid for security plus elegance.
What Actually Fits
Phone, ID, credit card, lipstick, and key. Edit ruthlessly. If your phone does not fit, it is a fashion-only clutch.
How to Hold It
Tucked under your arm with opening inward for security. Held in front with both hands for photos. Beside you on the table during dinner, never in your lap.
Color Rules
Metallics and black are safe bets for formal events. A colorful clutch against all-black creates a striking focal point.
