There are so many trends to get into, debate and criticise every season but one thing remains: matching your outfits. Whether you’re into tonal dressing or you’re trying your hand at colour-blocking, it is suggested that you coordinate your outfits from head-to-toe, specifically by means of shoes and bags. Below are our top favourite matching shoe and bag combinations for every occasion.
Occasion: Girl’s Night
Combo: Stilettos and Studs
Nothing screams ‘bad b*tch energy’ quite like a pair of stiletto heels and an embellished clutch. While the standard is usually black, it isn’t the rule. Pops of red, neon and animal print are also becoming more and more popular on the cocktail-dressing circuit, Instagram and the Fashion Week streets.
Occasion: Date Night
Combo: Block heels & Baguettes
Everyone has a horror date story about being uncomfortable in what they’re wearing or feeling overdressed for the occasion. To avoid such instances, slip on a pair of block heels and accessorise with a simple baguette bag which offers just the right amount of space for all your essentials.
Occasion: Outdoor party
Combo: Sneakers & Backpacks
Hit up the local party scene in something comfortable and easy to dance in, like sneakers. The chunky sneaker has been doing its rounds on the trend charts for over a year now and it seems that it still won’t date any time soon. Store your goodies into an easy-to-reach backpack or bum bag to go hands-free when tearing up the dance floor.
Occasion: Boardroom Meeting
Combo: Pumps & Totes
Own the boardroom, make power plays and do it all in a pair of pointed pumps accompanied by a roomy tote bag, Olivia Pope-style. Any businesswoman owns at least one leather pair, but with mock crock making its comeback this season, we will certainly be adding a pair or two of those variants to our collections.
