The easiest way to up the style quotient is by adding to the attire a trendy handbag that stands out.

In the recent months, clutches have become the favourite of fashionistas the world over for the versatility in their designs and the ease with which they can help upgrade any outfit. Whether you decide to wear a pantsuit for work, or are headed out for a casual evening outing, or are planning to get decked up for a wedding, clutches can make you elevate your fashion game. Here are some fashion tips on how you can style your clutch bags to suit any occasion.


Go big:
Oversized clutches are back in vogue and there couldn’t be a better way than these super-sized bags to carry everything you need when you’re stepping out. If you’re planning an evening out with your friends and family, pick out a jumpsuit in pastel colours like baby pink and pair it with an oversized black clutch. Instead you can also choose a plain white dress to go with an oversized multi-coloured clutch purse for a brunch. With these bags, you also don’t have to give up on carrying the sunscreen, mascara and any other touch-up essentials you may need.


Think quirky: You don’t have to stick to a conventional and common shape when it comes to wearing clutch purses. Go as quirky as you can, when it comes to the shape and pattern on these bags. For instance, take a hint from Bollywood’s Huma Qureshi, who rocks her metallic blue gown with a clutch shaped like a gold fish. You can go as bold as you can when it comes to choosing your clutch. These trendy accessories also come shaped like a colourful book, or a carton box. Remember to keep your outfit simple if you’re going for a bold clutch.


Opt for bling: For special occasions like parties and weddings, there’s no other accessory that can help you look so fashionable as a purse. If you’re wearing a black dress for a special gathering, a metallic finish clutch can be a perfect addition to make your outfit look elegant and also party-ready. The bling in the bags can also be paired perfectly well with ethnic and Indo-western fusion clothing.
