A clutch is generally a small, flat bag, that doesn’t have any straps or handles. However, there are larger bags out there that have detachable handles and straps which are also labeled as a “clutch”. The main characteristics of this bag are slim and hand held.
Not all of the clutches you’ll see below are vegan but we just love how these styled their clutches. Don’t worry though we did link to some vegan clutches and our vegan accessories in this article too.
How to Wear a Clutch
For the most part, as the name implies, clutches are meant to be held. Knowing how to hold a clutch properly can be difficult. There are several ways to hold one, which can complement your outfit and help flatter your body shape.
Here are a few different ways to hold your clutch:
- Hold the clutch from the bottom, like it’s a newspaper. This is a secure way to hold the clutch and it leaves one of your hands free.
- Hold the clutch with both hands at the front of the body. This should be a position that you transition through, otherwise it may look like you’re uncomfortable and don’t want to socialize.
- Hold the clutch at one of its ends. This is a super casual way to hold a clutch, before you do this be sure that the clutch’s fastening is secure.
- Hold the clutch under your arm. When you really do have to tuck into that plate of yummy food. Just like option 2, this should be a pose you transition through otherwise, you’ll be in danger of looking stiff.
