For many if us prom is the first time we really get to dress up. Find a fun but elegant prom clutch that suits you.

It’s often that prom is the first formal event that teens attend and they have to choose between what kinds of dresses and accessories to wear. When it comes to accessorize big for formal events, the clutch is the perfect bag. It’s sleek and simple and can still be fun and complex in design. It all depends on your personal style. There are so many clutches out there and some match certain styles than others, but it’s still fun to mix and match.

A simple, sleek envelope clutch is always a great go-to bag. This simplistic style matches any dress and compliments any style. Its inherent versatility can be used beyond your formal event and would even work great on a night out. A simple neutral clutch will go with anything, but you can always go with a bold color or pattern that will bring some flare to your outfit while still remaining an accent piece. This simple envelope style can be used well beyond the prom, is appropriate for any future event, and you’ll find that because of its adaptable nature that it is well worth the investment.

A knuckle duster clutch adds a little more shine to your look and can double more as jewelry as well. The knuckle duster gets it’s name from the closure piece at the top of the bag. It can come in a variety of styles, from simple silver, to intricate swirls and designs or even more rock n roll with skulls or other etched patterns. This sort of piece shows it’s personality through this accent which can be worn over the fingers when held to imitate the effect of wearing rings. Similarly these handbags can come in neutrals as well as bold or bright colors, depending on your preference.

If you’re going for a retro look, then a coin purse clutch may be your best bet. These bags have a vintage feel to them that adds charm and glam to your outfit. Even if your dress isn’t vintage inspired or a great thrifty find, this sort of bag can still add that old school glamour to a modern dress. An embroidered or sequined clutch purse can add some sparkle and shine to an otherwise sleek and modern dress, while if worn with a similarly styled dress will still compliment in well in style.

Any of these bags are great for prom and come down to what sort of dress or overall look you have in mind. Remember, a clutch purse will come in handy for future events, both formal and more casual, so choose a bag that best suits your style so you’ll be able to use it beyond the prom.
