Embellished Clutch Fashion Trend

Our Guide To The Embellished Clutch Fashion Trend – AW12

Incorporating many of the season’s big fashion and beauty trends in one show, Bottega Veneta bought heavily into embellished evening wear.

Complete with a metallic box clutch, layered up cocktail rings and chandelier earrings, the look was glamorous and chic and all topped off with a modern dark berry lip.

Although small and definitely only suited to carrying around your absolute essentials, this Accessorize clutch is statement enough to really make an outfit.

Team with your favourite little black dress and vertiginous stiletto heels for an easy party look with maximum style.

If you’re not on a budget and are looking for all out sparkle and glamour, we absolutely love this Anya Hindmarch number.

Whimsical and eye-catching, it has a luxurious feel and a festive twist. With bells and glitter it’s a definite hit for either a Christmas or New Year’s Eve party outfit.

If you’re looking to tap into the embellished accessory trend in a slightly more subtle way, this silver clutch bag from Aftershock is a great one to consider.

Adding a texture-mix contrast to your outfit, it’s an easy, and affordable, wardrobe update that’s super versatile and you’ll love for seasons to come.

This perspex floral clutch at Marni’s AW12 show was a real showstopper and took inspiration from the embellished dresses and separates also seen on the catwalk.

If you’re looking to tip toe into the trend, we recommend keeping clothing sleek and simple and letting your embellished clutch be your focus piece.

Available in a number of colour ways, we love this navy and black sequin clutch from Untold.

Not only is it affordable, it’s also lightweight and slightly bigger than many other options currently in the shops meaning you can carrying around more than just your mobile phone and keys.

Our pick of the high street, this glitter number from Oasis is a wise buy.

Fitting easily into your day bag, it’s the perfect accessory to instantly take your look from office to out. Add red lipstick, statement jewellery plus a pair of metallic heels and you’re good to go.

A big catwalk colour this season, red was seen at many of the big AW12 shows.

If you’re not keen to swap dark colour palette looks for such a statement shade, opt instead for bold coloured accessories to effortlessly nod to the trend instead.

Go bold with glitter and this sparkly number from Dune.

With its fold over envelope design and hidden chain handle, it’ll go with anything and work perfectly for any night out – whatever the occasion.
