Trend Report: Casual Clutch Bags Are In

Dec 13 2011 • by Maria

I don’t know where the notion came from — that clutches are only used for formal wear.

Being a sworn lover of the day clutch, I have seen many a pair of curious eyes dart to the over-sized purse in my hand while I’m dressed in jeans. Well, here’s the scoop: I’m not the only one!

Rihanna carries this enviable Fendi clutch bag while up and about town.

 

Sweet Emma Roberts chose a nude Kate Spade clutch.

A Miu Miu clutch for Rachel Bilson.

Miranda Kerr’s LV casual clutch is to die for.

It’s the Burberry Porsum day clutch for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

I am so loving this trend that I had just had to find me a new day clutch asap.

This hot red fold-over clutch bag from Clare Vivier is simply holiday-licious. Measuring 11 inches in height and 11.5 inches in length, it is def roomy enough for all your day (to night) essentials. Talk about the perfect holiday clutch! $150.

I find this haircalf clutch by Laura Merkin sophisticated and chic, not to mention luxurious — a statement clutch that can be worn whether day or night. You will not be disappointed by the size, too. Measuring 8 inches by 12 inches, for me it is just the right size. $495.

 An over-sized gold clutch bag is convenient for any type of day wear –  be  it jeans, dress or skirt. What I love most about a gold clutch is that it can also match your evening wear! Felix Rey’s Zip Me Up Snake Clutch combines trendy and classic. Trendy for the snakeskin leather and classic for the color and cut. $195.

The ROMYGOLD Weave Clutch in Saddle is elegant and refined. I would pick this out any day, if I wasn’t so budget challenged that is. Best worn with tailored pants or feminine dresses but can also be worn with anything else in your closet, this clutch is an absolute must-have. Also available in black. $435.

All available at ShopBop.
