Golden metallic majesty. It’s party clutch season. While I’m still on a sequin cleanse, I can’t resist some shine during the holidays. Enter: our favorite accessory, the clutch. It’s little enough that you don’t have to feel guilty for choosing something that pops (hello embellishments), but it can still transform your whole look. And when you roll into the party with the right clutch, you’ll be fending off compliments all night long. Cha-ching.
There are a few golden rules I always follow when it comes to clutches; 1) It’s gotta be able to hold the holy trinity – phone, keys, and lipstick, 2) It’s gotta transcend seasons for all of my party-going needs, and 3) It’s gotta have personality.
With anything metallic, it’s easy to fall into the age-old shiniest piece on the shelf trap. While I’ll never be one to turn down some shimmer, I still like to shake things up. Anyone that says metallics are boring, just isn’t doing it right. Here are a few topping my list.
