CLUTCH PLAY

Moving from a daytime to evening look has become easier with the newfound popularity of oversized clutches. The trend started last spring and continues to gain steam in the fashion world this fall. These bags with space to spare make it easier to carry more than a cell phone and lipstick while keeping your look chic and glamorous. Those who consider themselves fashion lightweights can carry the bag alone as their statement piece at night, but the more daring among you should add some accessories such as bangles or, when the weather gets colder, opera gloves with a cuff, to draw attention to your clutch. And petite women shouldn’t shun this trend; just keep in mind the proportions of the other clothes that you’re wearing.
