Dress bag. Which one to choose?

2023-12-22

When we go to New Year's Eve, a carnival ball, Christmas Eve, a corporate event or a meeting with a client, we wonder what dress bag will turn out to be the best. We want to create a fashionable yet cohesive styling and show that we follow the latest trends. When composing an outfit, consider the practical aspect. We use the bag to store various things, including cosmetics, smartphone, wallet, keys, hairbrush or mirror. Some of us carry a tablet in it, on which we show our clients audiovisual materials. We suggest what to follow when choosing handbags for dresses.

How to match your handbag with the color of your dress? We debunk the myths!

  1. It is accepted that the handbag and shoes are accessories that should appear in the same color, forming a composition buckle. However, we do not have to follow this rule. The red shoes match the cobalt purse and black bodycon dress, as they are from the same color palette.

  2. Another myth that we follow when matching handbags with dresses is the belief that if we opt for black stilettos, a navy blue trunk is out of the question. Meanwhile, the two darker and neutral colors work perfectly together.

  3. The handbag for the dress should be the same color as the creation. If you put on an emery in multicolored patterns, it is good if the letterbox with its shade harmonizes with one of the colors. Introducing another would spawn chaos. If, on the other hand, the dress is plain, such as red, let's make sure that the handbag coordinates with it in color. We can bet on navy blue, black, gray or cobalt.

  4. What handbag to go with the green dress? When we ask ourselves this question, we often automatically rule out red. This is because we believe that carmine or cinnabar conflicts with green. Nothing could be further from the truth, it can harmonize beautifully with it. If we are winter or spring, let's not be afraid of this kind of combination.

  5. Another myth that many of us believe is the notion that a handbag must match our beauty type. Color analysis specialists argue that this rule is not justified. The aforementioned addition occurs away from the face. Accessories help bring in favorite colors that don't suit us. E.g. winter can afford brown shoes and a chocolate handbag.

  6. Do not combine colors with different temperatures. If you have a purple dress and you like the mustard mailbag, there is nothing to prevent you from putting them together. The two colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, making them contrast beautifully with each other.

  7. Black handbag goes with everything. No, because it sometimes creates too much contrast with a white or pastel dress. It weighs it down and takes away its lightness.

How to choose a handbag for elegant styling?

Many women wonder which handbag for an evening dress will be the best. It is worth looking at the creation itself, its color, pattern and cut. To begin with, determine what kind of shoes and jewelry you want to wear. If you're going for a classic little black dress, black stilettos and minimalist silver earrings, a silver box seems like a good option. The aforementioned handbag adds glamour and emphasizes sophisticated elegance.

Elegant handbag to a formal dress fits best, because it creates a harmonious whole with it. If the creation is purple, it will be wonderfully complemented by an emerald clutch bag.

A small handbag for a dress seems to be the best solution when going to a larger gala. It should hold the essentials - keys, phone and wallet. We can carry it on our shoulder. Small bags embellished with cubic zirconia and other ornaments are great for emphasizing the solemn dimension of the ceremony.

If you are going to a business meeting, then a capacious black trunk will be a good solution, in which you can fit the most necessary things. Pay attention to whether you can easily insert and remove the tablet from it.

The best handbag for a wedding

What kind of handbag for a wedding dress will be best? First of all, answer the question of whether you intend to hang it over your shoulder or hold it in your hand.

At this point we would like to emphasize that, although a small handbag usually passes the test, but its size should be directly proportional to our figure. If you belong to the filigree women, then a small one will prove to be a good choice. When we have a rounder shape, let's bet on a larger handbag. Stylists stress that the contrast between our figure and this accessory works against us.

A clutch bag seems to be a good solution, with the size to fit your figure. Note whether it has a removable belt. Sometimes it's better to sling it over your shoulder because it's more comfortable that way. For dresses in cool tones match a silver clutch bag, and for creations in warm gold.

For a wedding, a zirconia-embellished box, which we will hang over the shoulder with a chain, will be perfect. Pay attention to whether you can fit all the things you need in it.

How to match a handbag with a dress? Summary

In summary, when choosing handbags for dresses, there are a few things to consider. Take into account the circumstances, the color of the creation and other accessories. Besides, the handbag is supposed to be directly proportional to your figure. Petite women are suited to small postcases and clutch bags, and ladies with fuller shapes to larger shoppers, trunks and bags.

Handbags vary in finish. Some are made of smooth grain leather, others are made of fine suede, and there is no shortage of lacquered or ornately embossed leather either. Consider your taste so that the handbag best reflects your personality. If you feel good in embossing imitating alligator skin or snake skin, then don't give it up even during larger outings. On the other hand, when you care about classics, opt for suede or smooth grain leather in a neutral color that blends in with most of the clothes in your closet.

Remember that the handbag to the dress can be selected on the basis of similarity, neutrality or contrast. This accessory is away from the face, so it doesn't have to come from your color palette.
