Welcome to the month of love, in the fashion world it is the month of red. The colour red is the theme but you can compliment it with black or white. Remember since red is so bright, avoid ending up looking like a fire extinguisher if you overdo it. Well, last week we focused on the rule of belt and shoes especially on gentlemen.
Let me salute some men who are following suit on the rules. Yes, the belt should match the shoes. For ladies, I won’t dwell much on them on the law because most ladies make it a point to follow the rule.
However, Mrs X, or let me just say “socialite” approached me at some corporate function. With her post, I was humbled and I thought maybe I was making noise while she was presenting but she came to say, I follow you on social media and I guess I am your biggest fan on this column.
I was so happy hearing such words, then it gave me strength to always do good especially when it comes to fashion on wherever I am. Luckily as usual, I was on point.
But what caught my eye was the different types and designer handbags at the event.
Considering it was a fashion event, I could expect it but this then made me decide that since last week I had promised to focus on women and handbags, this is the right and golden opportunity.
According to Lauren Paxman, for many women, handbags are the most expensive items on shopping list – but they are also the most satisfying purchase, thus according to a survey.
The pleasure associated with snapping up the perfect arm candy even outweighs the thrill of spending money on a glitzy pair of heels.
Did you know that one in every four women said they enjoyed buying a smart bag to buying dressy shoes. It makes sense.
Handbags are the accessory that we use the most, and they need to go with every outfit we own so there is a lot of satisfaction in finding the perfect bag.
A summer dress and a well-fitting pair of jeans were among the other items which women were ‘excited’ to buy.
Today, women worldwide can enjoy the beauty and artistry of these hand-crafted bags.
When it comes to understanding why a handbag is so important to a woman, men have always been at something of a loss.
However, here are seven easy rules to consider when accessorising your handbag with a favourite outfit so it always looks fabulous.
1. Coordinate handbag with shoes when going casual
When your go-to casual outfit is a pair of great-fitting jeans with a fitted tee, it’s all about the accessories to take the look from ordinary to extraordinary.
It’s tempting to match your handbag to both your top and shoes.
Style expert Bridgette Raes said, colour-coordination is essential.
Instead, when wearing black flats or boots with that casual outfit, choose a black with brown embroidery or black with grey embroidery Laga Besar handbag.
2. Formal dress needs clutch
When putting together a formal outfit it’s easy to focus on the jewelry as the main accessories.
Don’t forget about the purse.
A formal look needs a clutch bag, never a tote or hobo style as these are too casual for a special occasion. The clutch-style, Laga Uang Fold Wallet is classic and always in style when going formal.
3. Cross body bag for day out
Nothing’s more fun than a day out sight seeing in a new city or just shopping with friends. Keep your hands free but valuables close with a stylish cross body bag.
Cross body bags are comfortable and easy to use, making them the must-have accessory for holidays.
4. Brighten business wear with pop of colour
When your business attire consists of neutrals like black, grey, white, and brown, don’t be afraid to wake it up with a pop of color through the right accessory.
The handbag is the perfect accessory to add color.
The Damai handbag in burgundy with cream thread or royal blue with black thread easily brighten any business outfits.
5. Light outfit = Light handbag
A lightweight blouse and slacks or summer sun-dress never should be weighed down by a heavy or cumbersome purse. Accessorise lighter outfits with a smaller style of handbag that still allows you to carry essentials but doesn’t look like you’ve packed for a week trip.
6. Casual tote bag for casual outfit
Handbag accessorising Rule 1 recommends matching your bag to shoes but not to your shirt. Now it’s time to think about the shape of the bag. The tote bag is a great accessory to complement a tunic, leggings, and boots as well as when wearing jeans and a team tee to cheer for your favorite team.
7. Print outfit needs monochromatic handbag
Coordinating a beautiful print outfit with a solid colour or monochromatic handbag always looks stylish and on-trend.
Hope this trendy look will help some ladies and avoid having the same handbag over and over again.
Now I respect, why my good friend and sister, fashion enthusiastic Tariro Makanga has over 200 handbags in her closet. Every bag for each outfit, alas, that is fashion.
