Trending: Hard Clutches
Sunday, January 16th, 2011
The right handbag has the power to make an outfit or add just the right amount of oomph. Hard clutches can do either. Whether they’re an ensemble’s main attraction or the cherry on top, these tiny gems pack beauty, style and attitude. Large enough for a compact, lipstick and cellphone, hard clutches won’t accommodate bag clutter, but they do leave room for major style power. The options are infinite–be it bedazzled or reptilian, outrageous or classic–and they’re gaining popularity on the street. Though currently a big trend, these accessories can still add an unexpected element to a look. The first thing to remember is don’t think of them as strictly formalwear. They can be paired with jeans as easily as they can go with a gown.
