Which bag fits is also a matter of taste

There used to be stricter styling rules. We had a precise idea of which bag went with which look. Today it's different, many fashion-conscious people work with style breaks. A clutch with jeans and a T-shirt? That can look great. A leather bag with jeans and cowboy boots? Perfect! However, you should also be confident in this case. The look will definitely attract attention.

If you're not sure which bag goes with what, stick to the classic rules. Even if people are combining like crazy nowadays, these stylish styling rules still work today. The result is a coherent and harmonious overall look.

The following points should be considered when choosing an outfit:

• Match shoes and handbag in terms of color
• Match shoes and handbag in terms of material structure, for example smooth leather to smooth leather and suede to suede.
• Combine sporty outfits with sporty bags.
• Elegant, small handbags such as a clutch go well with chic clothing and special occasions.
• The size of the handbag should match the intended use, for example a large shopper for a shopping trip.
• Colorful handbags or handbags in bright colors create a deliberate contrast. The rest of the outfit should then be kept simple.
• Patterned handbags go best with monochrome outfits. Alternatively, the colors should harmonize.
• The later the time, the smaller the bag. Large bags are therefore something for the morning or for work, small bags for going out in the evening.
• Handbags and accessories should match, this applies to the style and the metal colors. A bag with silver buckles, for example, goes better with silver jewelry.
• Handbags and accessories don't have to be the same color; combinations from the same color spectrum look harmonious and a little more interesting.
• The basic rule for colors is either harmony or contrast. Anything else looks random.

Choose handbags according to the occasion

Regardless of styling, rules or outfit ideas, most women naturally also choose a bag based on practical aspects. How much space do we need? What do we need to take with us? How long will the bag be worn? The length of time we carry the bag is very important. A heavy bag can lead to shoulder pain and neck tension if it is carried for hours on end.

The right bag for work

Which bag is the right one for a business woman naturally also depends on the work itself. For teachers, for example, there are stylish leather teacher bags. Classic shoulder bags in dark leather, on the other hand, are also suitable for many office jobs. If you want to transport a laptop, opt for a laptop bag that also offers space for important utensils. The classic briefcase is still being bought, but as we are increasingly digitizing data, briefcases are now somewhat smaller.

A high-quality bag for a business outfit is best bought in a color that matches any work outfit. That's why many women opt for a black bag if they tend to dress elegantly and classically at work. Women who also prefer a more casual outfit at work usually opt for a brown leather bag. This goes well with smart and casual clothing.

Bags for sport and leisure

Bags for sport and leisure must be one thing above all: practical. They should offer enough space for everything we need. Lightweight materials are an advantage, as the bag won't be so heavy. Backpacks have also become very popular with women of all ages. They come in different styles, from sporty to more elegant. Backpacks put less strain on the neck as the weight is distributed more evenly. This is why a rucksack is also ideal for long shopping trips. Anyone who walks a lot in everyday life or uses public transport will also benefit from a backpack.

Casual and cool bags generally go well with sporty outfits, for example in brown natural leather or fabric. When it comes to fabric, we can choose between classic cotton canvas and modern materials such as nylon.

Large bags for shopping trips or city breaks

If we need more space, shoppers and Tod's bags are ideal. The large pouch or shoulder bags offer enough storage space for outings or a long stroll through the city. Shoppers are available in every style from sporty and casual to elegant. Many women have these bags in several sizes because they are so practical.

Elegant handbags for special occasions

Whether it's a wedding, a visit to the theater or another festive event - women definitely need a clutch for these special occasions. This small, compact accessory goes best with an elegant cocktail dress or evening gown. The clutch is also the best companion for a festive outfit with trousers or a skirt and blouse. Clutches in bright colors are absolutely trendy at the moment. They serve as a contrast and splash of color for an otherwise rather plain, solid-colored outfit.

Of course, clutches are also suitable for parties. Clutches offer enough space for some money, a lipstick and keys. To enjoy an evening on the dance floor, a small cross-body bag is also a good choice instead of a clutch. There are also stylish and elegant models here.

Which bag goes with everything?

There are bag models that go with almost everything. But they are hard to find.

A real all-rounder is a medium-sized shoulder bag or a crossbody bag for more sporty women made of high-quality leather. The classic Luis Vuitton logo print bag is also said to go with every look. This is true, as the brown looks harmonious with warm and light colors and goes great with jeans. The black in the logo print, on the other hand, goes well with black or dark outfits and therefore also with more elegant looks.

A black handbag goes with many things, but not with everything. An outfit in the currently popular boho style in warm colors, for example, is not the right choice for a black bag. Less popular but very versatile is the opposite of black: white. Handbags in white or the trend color off-white actually go well with many outfits.

Conclusion:Findingthe right handbag for every outfit is basically not difficult. We can either choose a bag that harmonizes with our outfit or deliberately accentuate it. The occasion is also important. Last but not least, the handbag should also meet practical requirements.
