What to look for when shopping for your formal clutch purses?
When it comes to finding the perfect clutch purse for formals, there are a few things to consider:

- Material: Consider materials like velvet or embellishments like beading to amp up the luxe factor.
- Color: Metallics are a go-to for formals

You can't go wrong with a dazzling metallic clutch when you're wanting to add some real wow factor to your outfit. In our view, silver is a lot easier to wear than gold, and a bit of a safer choice. Our top pick for 2024 is the Ellie Crystal Mesh Ring Handle Bag. Part bag, part bangle, what's not to love?! If you're a lover of bling, then this is definitely for you thanks to its crystal mesh pouch. This would be our ideal pick for a highschool dance or a fun night out on the town.
