How to Match Your Handbag to Your Outfit

27 March 2023

Matching your handbag to your outfit is a great way to elevate your style and create a polished, put-together look.

Matching your handbag to your outfit is a great way to elevate your style and create a polished, put-together look. Here are some tips to help you match your handbag to your outfit:

  1. Consider the occasion: The occasion and dress code will often dictate the type of handbag you should carry. For example, a small clutch or crossbody may be more appropriate for a formal event, while a larger tote or shoulder bag may be better suited for everyday wear.
  2. Choose a color scheme: When matching your handbag to your outfit, it’s important to consider the color scheme. If you’re wearing a bold, colorful outfit, you may want to opt for a neutral handbag to balance out the look. Alternatively, if you’re wearing a neutral outfit, you could choose a handbag in a complementary color to add some interest to your ensemble.
  3. Coordinate with your shoes: Coordinating your handbag with your shoes is a classic styling trick that can help tie your outfit together. For example, if you’re wearing black shoes, a black handbag can create a cohesive look.
  4. Consider the style: The style of your handbag should also be taken into account when matching it to your outfit. For example, a structured handbag may be more appropriate for a formal outfit, while a slouchy hobo bag may be better suited for a casual look.
  5. Don’t be afraid to mix and match: While matching your handbag to your outfit can create a cohesive look, don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles and colors to create a more interesting ensemble. Sometimes a pop of color or a contrasting texture can add some depth to your outfit.

Remember, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to fashion, so don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with your handbag and outfit pairings!
