Purse Styles for Every Occasion: Your Ultimate Guide to Finding the Perfect Bag
No matter how well-curated your wardrobe may be, your bag can make or break it. From running errands to formal events, the bag you carry could make all the difference in how good you look. On the other hand, with so many purse styles available to choose from, it is pretty easy to get overwhelmed while trying to pick the right one for any occasion.
From functional to fashionable, and from day to night, this guide will walk you through purse styles to fit any and all occasions. What's more, we have picked out four must-have bags from Think Royln that are sure to give your collection an instant boost.
1. The Crossbody Bag: Your Day-to-Night Companion
Crossbody bags are kind of the unsung heroes of the bag world. They're compact, easy to carry, and often versatile enough to take you from a busy day running errands to dinner with friends. The beauty of a crossbody is its hands-free design, making it perfect for on-the-go activities.
Our Pick: The Muse Crossbody
This is, in fact, the ultimate Think Royln crossbody bag for the modern woman. The Muse Crossbody exudes chic and sophistication with a boxy design that's super stylish and functional. It's lightweight yet spacious enough to carry all your essentials, such as your phone, wallet, keys, and even a small notebook. The quilted texture adds an extra layer of sophistication while offering an adjustable strap so you can wear it on either your shoulder or across your body-whichever you prefer.
Be it to catch up with friends over coffee, or out for a night on the town, The Muse Crossbody works with everything from casual wear into slightly dressier ensemble options.
Style Tip:
This is such a great addition to the simple tee and jeans during the day, and then throw a blazer or leather jacket over at night. In addition, the quilted design brings texture into play, making it a perfect complement to both solid colors and prints.
2. The Tote Bag: Work and Weekend Adventures
If there's one thing in which every woman should invest, it's a tote bag. The classic tote is known for its bright, spacious interior and structured design, appropriate for carrying everything from your laptop and notebooks to your gym clothes, or even your groceries.
The great tote doesn't sacrifice style for functionality. It's a workday go-to and one for the weekend adventures.
Our Pick: Downtown Diva Bag
Introducing this season's ultimate "IT" bag: the Downtown Diva from Think Royln! Though it might be oversized and bold, in fact, this bag could perfectly balance luxury and practicality for those who seek extra storage in style. The Downtown Diva has interior pockets and exterior pockets, making it truly organized with a chic and structured look.
Completed by hardware and an ultra-chic design, this bag is sure to make a statement in any outfit-whether on a professional run or when one is taking off for that weekend escape. Versatility is key: wear it your way with the signature cross-body strap to keep your hands free or rock the luxe handle as a trendy shoulder bag. Adding a stylish link chain only elevates its appeal.
Style Tip:
It's great for a relaxed weekend outfit-one that comprises leggings and a warm sweater-but it does equally well on workdays paired with a power suit for that perfect blend of polish and practicality.
3. The Bar Bag: Your Go-To for Casual Outings
It saves you for those times when you are not carrying so much but need to look decent. Not as big as a tote, and not as small as a wallet, the bag manages that fine line between functionality and minimalism.
Our Pick: The Bar Bag
The Think Royln Bar Bag is perfect for casual outings-be it brunch with the gang or a casual stroll around the park. Quilted texture and sleek design give it a really on-trend edge, while the compact size ensures it is convenient to carry just the essentials.
It comes with the option of wearing the bag across the body or carrying it in hand, which gives you the choice to wear it your way.
Style Tip: Wear this with a flowy sundress or denim shorts and a chiffon top for the most effortless yet stylish look. The sleekness of the Bar Bag also makes it pair well with sportier ensembles of joggers and sneakers, truly meant for lovers of athleisure.
4. The Hobo Bag: A Classic That’s Always in Style
The hobos are commended for their shape since this is a slouchy, relaxed design. Thus, the bag is casual but chic enough for everyday wear. Perfect for any person who wants an uncared-for feel when talking about the design of his or her bag but wants something big to hold whatever he or she needs.
Our Pick: Elton Hobo Crossbody
The Think Roylyn Elton Hobo Crossbody exudes effortless style with its utility vibe. The roomy interior lets you carry anything that you may need inside, while the laid-back silhouette will add a notch of casual elegance to any outfit.
From lunch dates to shopping, this is the perfect bag that is roomy enough for essentials: a wallet, makeup pouch, phone, and even a book or tablet. The Elton Hobo adds texture with its quilted exterior to an outfit without overwhelming it, and by the use of a crossbody strap, offers hands-free convenience.
Style Tip:
Pair the Elton Hobo Crossbody with a maxi dress and sandals for an effortlessly chic summer look. The bag's slouchy shape cuts it with more relaxed outfits, too-think oversized sweaters or wide-leg pants-great to help one lounge around on weekends or for casual days out.
5. The Evening Clutch: For Formal Affairs
Of course, every woman needs an evening bag in her possession: sleek and sophisticated for especial occasions. Whether a wedding, gala, or fancy dinner, the clutch provides just the right finishing touch to a formal outfit without overpowering it.
Even though evening clutches are generally smaller than any of your day-to-day bags, they are designed to hold just what one might need for a night out, including lipstick, identification, phone, and keys.
While Think Royln doesn't offer any kind of traditional clutch in this particular collection, this Muse Crossbody actually can double as an evening bag when paired with the right outfit. Its small size and quilted design lend it a touch of elegance that can work just as well in formal events as for casual outings.
Style Tip:
Take the Muse Crossbody in a darker or neutral tone to more formal affairs. Match it with a sleek dress or well-tailored pantsuit, and use its detachable strap to carry it as a handheld clutch for a more sophisticated presentation.
6. How to Pick the Right Bag for Your Lifestyle
Ultimately, the perfect purse for any occasion is the one that complements your lifestyle. Consider how much you normally carry around, if you need to go hands-free, and what style complements the theme of your overall fashion taste. It's also worth the time to invest in different styles, like a big tote for days at work, a cross-body for casual trips out, and a smaller bag for nights out, so you're always prepared for anything.
Final Thoughts
If you find a good purse, it may really make all the difference in your general style. The key is finding the proper balance of both form and function: an excellent bag should look good but also serve your needs and fit into your lifestyle.
