Bags and clutches hence become very essential to every outfit that you wear. They possess both, a fashion value as well as a utility value. They come in handy when you need to carry around your money, cards, keys, and phone and of course, your make up.

2) Pick the appropriate size:
Even if you’re a petite person, you may have a lot of things that you need to carry around. In such a case, pick a clutch one size bigger than what goes best with your body.

Before buying your clutch or sling bag, think about the color a couple of times. If you wish to use your clutch on a daily basis, then make sure that the color is neutral and goes with all or most of your outfits. Normally black sling bags or clutches tend to go along well with all colors. However, nude shades and tan brown shades are also fast trending as neutral colors. If you are buying a clutch or sling bag only for special occasions, then choose bling colors and bright colors that will compliment your outfit and make you stand out.
4) Choose a multi way clutch:
Multi way clutches are those which also have a metal strap or a thin leather strap attached to them. This way you can also use it as a sling bag. Changing the way you carry your clutch can revamp the entire look of your outfit.
