The word clutch comes from English and means to take or hold tight and it is possible that the party bags have earned that name precisely because they are handbags that need to be held all the time. But this is just a hypothesis. Another denomination for clutch bags is evening bag, that is, a bag for the "night", which in Portuguese we call a party bag.
The fact is that clutches today are necessary items in the wardrobe of any woman who attends parties and evening events. And you can even find versions of the clutches to use for looks for the day, which has made this piece even more popular and useful.
When it comes to party bag, you think of small models, which are the vast majority, but the maxi clutches are also part of women's accessories collections. In addition to appearing in various sizes, the models can be more structured, for example acrylic, or less structured ("soft"), in fabric such as silk and sequin embroidered fabrics.
And how to choose your clutch? It's simple if you wear a patterned, embroidered look or with many colors and details, the ideal is to opt for a more neutral, smooth clutch in a color that matches the look. In the case of using a more discreet look, with smooth pieces, the ideal is to go with a clutch with stones and embroidery to highlight the look.
In addition to this tip, it is up to you to choose according to your taste and the occasion. Notice if the clutch is large enough to carry your belongings and if it is comfortable to hold, as you may need to hold it for a long time. Remember that many clutches have delicate handles that can be great allies when you get tired of holding the bag.
