We often plan in great detail the outfit that will accompany us on that occasion that we have planned so much in our calendar. However, when the day of the long-awaited event arrives, an important, but hidden, detail can ruin all our plans, making all our previous efforts in vain.

In these types of situations, we never tire of repeating that the success of any look lies in the details and that accessories are the elements that end up providing total sophistication to that outfit that you want to show off so much.

Invest in the basics

Just like with clothing and footwear, your closet needs to have a series of basic bags so that you have the option of selecting the most appropriate one for each type of occasion.

The list of essential bags in any fashionista’s wardrobe is as follows:

  • Clutch
  • Bandit
  • Bucket bag
  • Doctor bag
  • Tote bag
  • Backpack
  • Satchel

Don’t wear your handbag in the same color as your shoes.

Remember that color combinations are one of the most important aspects to take into account when dressing, so it is essential that you never be redundant in your outfit by wearing the same color shoes and handbag, simply because this is one of the recently imposed fashion maxims . Take it as a rule of etiquette to follow and automatically look more sophisticated.

Take care of the proportions

As with any style issue, when choosing a bag , you need to take into account your height and the most prominent features of your body, so that you do not make the mistake of looking disproportionate when choosing a large bag that makes your petite figure look even smaller or, failing that, a mini bag, which can make you look even taller than you really are.

Be careful with the prints!

Just because it is an expendable accessory does not mean that the bag should not be taken into account when planning an outfit , so it is important that you take into account that your bag should never have the same type of print as your clothes, since this will only make neither of the two elements look in all their splendor.

Likewise, in the case of animal print, it is vitally important to never mix more than one type of print of this type, that is to say: if you carry a leopard pattern on your bag, it is unacceptable for a zebra-type fabric to cover your body, and vice versa.
