Bags for Different Occasions

Are you looking for the perfect bag to suit any occasion? Whether it’s a formal event or a casual day out, having the right bag can make all the difference.

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for the right situation. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the best bag for any occasion.

Every Day Bags

When it comes to building a versatile bag collection, there are a few essential styles that every woman should have in her wardrobe.

These bags will serve you well for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to formal events. Here are some must-have bags to ensure you’re ready for anything:

Tote Bag

A tote bag is a large bag that can be used for a variety of purposes. It’s perfect for carrying your everyday essentials, such as your phone, keys and makeup, but is also great for carrying bits and bobs you’ve picked up from the supermarket. A good tote bag can be a great investment as they tend to last a long time and are usually pretty affordable.

Look for a tote bag that is made of durable material, such as jute or cotton, which reduces the possibility of any damage, such as tears. Also, try and find one that has plenty of space to ensure you have room for all your daily essentials!

Crossbody Bag

A crossbody bag is a small bag that is perfect for when you’re on the go. It’s great for going to concerts, travelling, or simply going about daily life; all while looking great! The strap, that’s worn diagonally across your body, can usually be adjusted to suit whatever style you’re looking for.

Look for a crossbody bag that is lightweight, comfortable, and has lots of pockets to hold everything you’ll need while on the go. Crossbody bags are also a great way to add a pop of colour to your outfit, so make sure to pick a colour that is a bit different to what you usually wear.

Our Naya Crinkle Crossbody Bag is a great option! 

Backpack

We all know and love backpacks. They’re unmatched in their useability for when you need to carry a lot of items while on the go, such as hiking, traveling, or going to work.

Look for a backpack that is made of durable material, such as cotton or leather, and has plenty of compartments to keep your items organised. A backpack is also a great way to add a casual feel to your outfit.

Evening Affairs

When it comes to evening events, the right bag can be the perfect accessory to complement your outfit. Whether you’re attending a wedding, a gala, or a fancy dinner party, you’ll want to choose a bag that is both stylish and functional.

Here are some must-have bags for more formal occasions:

Clutch Bags

A clutch bag is a small, elegant bag that is perfect for more formal events, such as weddings or dinner parties. They’re designed to be held in your hand and usually don’t have a strap.

Don’t expect to fit much in a clutch bag, other than your phone, keys, and maybe a lip stick. These bags are more of a fashion piece, rather than a functional accessory.

Evening Purses

An evening purse is slightly larger than a clutch bag and can hold more items if the occasion calls for it.

You can choose from a variety of materials, such as satin or leather. A beaded or embroidered bag can add a touch of elegance to your outfit, while a brightly coloured one can help you make a statement.

Wristlets

Wristlets are a practical and stylish choice for evening affairs. They’re small enough to easily carry around, but large enough to hold your essentials.
They’re often confused with clutch bags, but what makes them different is the strap that you can wear around your wrist, which makes them slightly more convenient to use.

You can choose from a variety of styles and materials. For a more sophisticated and elegant look, we recommend choosing one made from high quality leather. Look out for one that has plenty of compartments to fit everything you need for that special night out.

Conclusion

Overall, the right bag can not only elevate your style but also provide much-needed functionality when going about your busy life. Whether you choose a clutch bag for a formal evening, or a backpack for your next adventure up a mountain, we hope that our list has helped guide you in your next purchase!
