Find a Great Formal Purse for Fall

December 2nd, 2013 by admin

Fall has arrived, and with it a new season of fashion trends you’ll love keeping up with.  From small clutches and wristlets to bigger , carryall tote bags, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for these hot trends in the purse world.  Here are this fall’s biggest fashion trends for formal purses.

1) Beading
Beading and sequins are always in style when it comes to formalwear. The flashier the better, some say! That being said, it’s no surprise that once again, it’s a hot fall trend for formal purses. Sequins and beading catch the light and literally make you look like you’re sparkling, and they’re the perfect accent to nearly any evening gown, especially simpler ones without a lot of details. If you’re already wearing a glitzy, elaborate dress, you can still use beading for your purse, but try to make it a solid color that accents the already-stunning gown.

2) Large Clasps
Bold clasps on clutches and wristlets are a great addition. Think of it as jewelry for your purse! When a bag has a large clasp, the eye is drawn to it, and typically when bags have this feature, the clasp is something beautiful like a large rhinestone or polished stone.  This is a chance fore designers to add something onto an otherwise plain-looking clutch. They also make opening a purse easier, but as we all know, purses are not necessarily always function. They are, however, always for fashion, and with a large, statement-esque clasp, you’ll be totally en vogue.

3) Bright Accents on Neutral Purses

One other trend for formal purses is adding bright accents to neutral-toned purses. For instance, if a purse is a subdued taupe shade, adding a string of bright, jewel toned ribbon or a beaded sash across the front can really make it pop. This also makes the purse more versatile, as then it can go with more than just one outfit.
