It may seem silly to buy a bag just for the holidays, especially when your wallet is probably hemorrhaging as you check names off of your list, but hear us out. There’s no reason a glimmering, glittering bag needs to be relegated to parties. Sure, they’re small, but do you really need to tote everything around with you all the time? Consider this a chance to edit down your everyday carry. But for those looking for a special occasion bag, there’s nothing that says “special” like the shimmer and shine on our favorite going-out clutches and pouches.
Our picks include all colors of the rainbow, so whether you’re rocking an LBD or a sequined cocktail frock, there’s something that’ll add a touch of pizazz to any outfit. Clutches may seem too constricting — basically you’ve handicapped yourself for a night — but a few of our picks have longer shoulder-length and crossbody straps, too, making them pretty great for running errands as well as stepping out on the dance floor. Swap your tote for a clutch, if even for a day, and you’ll see that carrying more than the essentials doesn’t always have to be your daily M.O.
