Grandmothers and mothers of modern fashionistas were required to have three handbags in their wardrobe. But the lifestyle of our days hardly makes it possible to stay within such limits. We need a lot of bags!
What bags should you have in your wardrobe?
Different - just like our social roles: you can (often need to!) be both a successful business lady and a caring keeper of the family hearth, a traveler and a socialite. At the same time, always look great.
IMPORTANT: You should never skimp on a bag! If the accessory looks expensive, it will “stretch” the whole image. Even if the clothes are quite modest.
Every style, clothing or lifestyle, requires special carry-on luggage.
For office
She is the same hard worker as her owner: she accompanies her owner at important meetings and interviews, holds business papers, stationery, a tablet and even a laptop. Wear resistance is a mandatory requirement for the companion of a successful lady.
At the same time, the office bag is required to be presentable.While protecting valuable documents from damage, it must maintain a decent appearance: the corners are not frayed, the folds are not damaged. This increases the requirements for materials: leather - natural, suede - if there is no risk of getting such a luxury wet, textiles - high-quality.
TIP: The severity of such a thing will be softened if you wear it with a dress of a moderately feminine style or with shoes without heels.
Carry more than is possible
This problem has to be solved often! If you are planning to deal with a lot of things, go shopping, or take a long walk, we choose the appropriate model. It could be:
- tote;
- bucket bag.
The tote is a large item with two handles. Initially, it did not have a clasp at the top, consisted of one compartment and had no pockets. However, designers have recently worked their magic on the model and created different options: with and without clasps, for the beach and for the city, rectangular and trapezoidal. The handles often have a thin strap added to them, and sizes range from chunky to medium.
You can use such an accessory in winter and summer, on vacation, and even, if the colors, shape and size are moderate, on weekdays. True, we must remember about some inevitable chaos of the things put in it!
An alternative to a tote is a bucket bag that fits perfectly into everyday ensembles. Worn on an adjustable shoulder strap and a loop that fits a graceful hand, on a short belt and even on a belt. Suitable for walking, training, going to clubs.
TIP: Carry-on luggage was invented to carry everything you own with you. When deciding on the size of the bag, you need to calculate how many things you will need for today. Everything transported must be laid out conveniently!
Backpack
Indispensable for active and energetic people, as well as for connoisseurs of comfort. Various versions of this accessory have significantly expanded its possibilities of combination with different ensembles. Leather and suede, denim and nylon, decorated and simple – backpacks are loved by fans of sportswear, boho and ethnic, casual and oversized.
IMPORTANT: When choosing a backpack or other large carry-on luggage, compare the dimensions of the accessory with your own! Both the fragile young lady with a huge trunk and the plump lady with a tiny backpack look comical.
Clutch
Clutches come in two varieties:
- everyday - good when the occasion is not formal, but you can or should be light;
- evening – complements an evening outfit.
The model, color, presence or absence of jewelry depends on the situation, the chosen style and personal preferences. It can harmonize or contrast with the outfit, be on a chain or without (the latter option is only for always collected people who do not risk forgetting their purse in a taxi or on a restaurant table).
Compact model
An intermediate option between a clutch and a medium-sized bag. It can have a sporty or elegant design, complement a classic or super avant-garde ensemble. Indispensable when you need to have the minimum on hand - a passport, driver's license, money, bank cards. For example, when traveling, when the bulk of your luggage is sorted into suitcases and larger bags.
Original bag
Fashion now allows you to swing your fantasies to the fullest extent and use any idea (remember Paris Hilton with a bag made from garbage!). In addition to the most original forms (backpacks in the shape of hedgehogs or a minaudière designed to look like a bright book), a variety of materials are used: felt and hand-knitted fabric, velvet and wool.Patchwork and appliques are beyond competition!
The most daring can afford delights like a mesh, reminiscent of the old days when bottles were handed over and not thrown away, a guitar bag and even... a bra bag!
Minimum arsenal
Whether you practice modern asceticism or simply find yourself in a situation of forced savings, you still can’t get by with just one bag. Three is enough.
For work
The capacity of such a bag is checked with an A4 sheet: it must fit without compromising its safety. It is better to choose a classic style, high-quality material (thick leather is optimal). The accessories are minimal, the color is universal, since you will have to wear it with different things. Classic - black, gray, brown.
IMPORTANT: Contrary to the stereotype, black is not suitable for every ensemble! Especially in summer.
A moderate-sized briefcase can serve as a replacement for a bag.
On every day
For everyday wear, you need a medium-sized handbag that can fit a book. It can be leather, suede, textile. In cold weather - black, gray, brown; in summer - light, but of a universal tone.
It is best that the accessory includes a strap - it will always come in handy if your hands suddenly find yourself full. It is better to choose a classic model - there will be no dissonance with any things. Minimum decor and maximum convenience - you are ready for any circumstances!
In case of a holiday
A festive item is a must, even if life is not replete with social events. What if they invite you to a restaurant? Or would you like to go to the theater?
Small clutch – with or without a chain. Will help out at any celebration, banquet or party. The main thing is not to give in to the temptation to use it for everyday needs - it’s better to think about a fourth handbag...
