Need inspiration for the forthcoming party season? Think Halloween parties, college balls, award ceremonies, thanksgiving gatherings, festive parties. And today is National Handbag Day (I kid you not) and I wonder if, somewhere in the world, someone is celebrating!! No worries as here at bagwhispers.com we are continuously seeking out the handbags that are the ideal party bag. There are many bag shapes and styles to consider for the party season; whether you are planning on wearing a LBD or a full-on sequined outfit. Find out the bags that won’t cramp your style but can carry your essentials effortlessly.
And before we dive into your helping of bag inspo, despite the fashions of the season, know or decide which type of partygoer you will be at the event. For example, are you the host with the most or will be on the dancefloor from start to finish and there’s no getting you off it? Maybe you are skilled at holding a pose at the bar and are there just to show off your fashionista skills. The ambiance you want to enjoy will influence your bag style:
- Dancing all night – opt for a slim baguette bag or clutch bag with a wrist strap so nothing interrupts your killer moves
- Holding court at the bar – a long slinky shoulder strap with a beautifully crafted bag or top handle bag as you don’t have plans to move anywhere
- Meeting and greeting – a soft clutch that you can grip in your hand or manage well under your arm
Once you know your vibe for the evening, let’s get to what will work best with what you are wearing. Without further ado…
