Choosing the perfect bag for your outfit might seem like a small task until you start. Should you go with the black one that’ll match almost every dress, or the colored one that matches an exact dress? These are the issues.
Not only do we get your struggle so well, but we also have the solution. Here are five simple tips on how to choose a bag that’s suitable, comfortable, and makes you feel great.
5 Tips On How To Choose A Bag
Once the hurdle of choosing your outfit is down, here are five tips to add the perfect bag touch.
1. Match the Vibe, Not Just the Color
It’s tempting to pick a bag just because it matches your shoes or outfit shade for shade. But style is more about the mood than the match.
A structured handbag instantly gives off boss energy, even if you’re in a casual dress. A slouchy tote? Very chill and laid-back. Ask yourself: what’s the vibe today? That’ll narrow it down fast.
2. Size Matters (A Lot)
We all love a cute mini bag… until we realize our phone, wallet, and lip gloss can’t all fit. If you’re running errands, brunching, or heading to class, opt for something roomy and functional. But for a night out or quick coffee date? Small and sassy works just fine.
3. Keep Comfort in Mind
A stunning bag is great… until the strap digs into your shoulder or keeps slipping off. Always check the straps, weight, and material.
You want something that feels good as you carry it because confidence is hard to fake when your bag is a burden.
4. Consider the Occasion
You wouldn’t carry a beach bag to a wedding unless it’s a beach wedding (and even then, please don’t). Just like your outfit changes with the event, so should your bag.
Think sleek clutches for formal events, crossbody bags for casual days, and roomy totes when you’re out to conquer the world.
5. Let Your Bag Speak (A Little)
Sometimes, your outfit is simple, and that’s okay. That’s when your bag gets to do the talking. A bold color, funky shape, or unique texture can add that oomph without being over the top.
Let it shine, but just one spotlight-stealer at a time. That means if your dress is already loud, let your bag be a simple touch on it. Remember, just one spotlight-stealer at a time.
