I’ve recently been spending a lot of time musing about the anatomy of the perfect evening bag (because yes, I have my priorities in check). The very first essential element is pretty self-evident: It has to be captivating enough to turn heads. There’s no better time, after all, than the festive season to pacify our restrained adoration for all things gilded and glittery – the “Month of Incessant Parties”, as I would summate the year-end period to, basically demands for it.
More importantly, it has to be hands-free. I abide by a strict code of practicality when it comes to hauling bags, more so when I’m headed out for a good time. This basically ruled out strapless clutches as a top contender, even though they were the most universal go-to in the scope of evening bags. I can’t underplay the amount of times where I’m clasping onto a clutch for my dear life while trying to fist bump rather clumsily while dancing; not to forget the balancing feat I’ve had to perform one too many times with my clutch, a glass of wine, and bitty canapes (using only two hands, you do the math).
Enter: wristlet bags – mini-sized purses with attached bracelets that you can easily slip your wrist through. Sometimes adorning decorative beads and crystal-studded chains, the party wristlets of the season can double as a glamorous bracelet for those who don’t mind a little extra accessorising.
To facilitate my newfound obsession with the wristlet bag, I’ve scouted 10 of the most chic offerings available to nab right now. Hopefully, it’ll inspire your purchase as well. Check out the best wristlet bags of the season by clicking ahead.
