Trend Focus: Clutch Mentality

Small, boxy clutches have been punching above their weight in the bags department for the past few seasons and they are still going strong. A fabulous accessory for both night and day, they help to keep your load light by giving you only enough space for keys, cards, phone and maybe a tube of lipstick.

For cocktail parties and black tie events, go with a hard, structured one like the Givenchy Mini Miniaudiere Clutch. For a less formal day look, pick more softly shaped and casual options, such as the Proenza Schouler PS11 Calfskin Clutch or Mulberry's Lily Chain Two Tone Clutch. Vintage clutches are well-worth a mention for their often beautiful hardware; best of all, they are usually one of a kind. Interesting details (e.g. unique closures) and functional add-ons (e.g. a detachable shoulder or wrist straps) are also things you should be looking out for.

The nifty mini clutch is the next best thing to being hands-free!
