The Trendy Grip of a Clutch
August 11, 2015 - 3:10 pm
While fall fashion always gives us more than enough to discuss, eclectic touches and aesthetics in the accessory department will absolutely turn heads this season. Clutches remain primary because they carry and display the fall luxury we have on hand.
Fall is perhaps the seasonal epitome of luxury. It allows us to play with layers, silhouettes, fabrics, exotic materials and embellishments assembled for an amazingly rich, impressive look.
Accessories support and enhance the function of those rich fabrics and layers we wear as fall garments, but they also instantly signal that we still have it going on in the cool trends department despite the change of season.
Knowing that change is the only constant in the fashion, designers have channeled their art and expertise into creating fascinating clutches.
Modest-looking but rich materials are being used to create a multitude of styles and shapes. Also trending are bold and expensive-looking clutches. From boxy and envelope cuts to unstructured and more organic silhouettes, they all scream opulence, whether crocodile skin, real and faux animal-printed skin or fur. Metal and silver hardware remain classic luxury trademarks and turn simple styles into sumptuous, sought-after ones.
The real delight in wearing a fall clutch lies in the way we carry it, carry ourselves, and in the way it also enables us to display our fall persona though our jewelry. A clutch is held with a firm grip of the hand or, as seen this season, the arm as well. Regardless of which, it subtly depicts our style and personality.
We display our rings, watch, bangles; tailoring finishes off our blouse or jacket, and even manicure. And there is more to clutches than what’s seen on the surface. They are not only cool, but they’re also a major accessory that carries our handpicked essentials. They project a feminine, urban style and provide space and versatility not only for evenings, but for daytime, too.
Pick a clutch to wear to the office, with tailored pants, jeans and certainly skirts and dresses. Maintain tradition and use them during evenings out to match or mismatch you shoes and outfit. A stand-alone clutch in a bold color over a one-tone or demure attire will attract the kind of attention normally reserved for the most expert fashionistas.
Rules have been broken in regards to these peculiarly chic handbags. They are no longer considered evening-only or exclusively “small” or “envelop.”
Whatever your choice of design and style, FashionTrend.vegas has an assignment for you this season: In the land of taking some risk, double down on a fun new look outside your normal comfort zone.
Las Vegas is an amazingly eclectic and aware fashion playground, so whether you prefer small and dainty or large envelope-inspired clutches, a bold personal statement will likely pay off in spades.
