There are a few simple rules when it comes to bags. While trends may come and go, leather is forever. Colors can be your best friend, but when you are buying a high quality bag, you must think ahead of trends and adjust the shopping to your personal style.
Stick to colors that are neutral, and ones that you like, no matter what is in, and what is out.
You cannot have one bag for every occasion, so, while I think that you need at least seven different styles, I narrowed it down to five. They are unique, classy and the best thing is that they can adjust to your wardrobe, not the other way around.
1. Everyday Bag
This is a bag that you can wear all the time, and everywhere. You have to find one bag that will satisfy all your needs, that is big enough for your phone, make-up, wallet, maybe a book, or tablet, and yet, that fits your style.
This bag is an investment and the trickiest part is to recognize what color, and shape will match your clothes the most. Choose leather fabric and neutral colors like beige or gray, although you cannot go wrong with black.

2. Bag for Special Occasions
If you are invited to a wedding, or a movie premiere, you need a bag that is classy, and chic. Clutches are not only popular, but they fit perfectly for every occasion. Try clutches that look like little boxes – with studs, if you are more of a rock’n’roll girl, or with sequins, if you are a devoted boho chick.

3. Office Bag
While you can wear an everyday bag to work, you should find one that is more elegant, and sophisticated. It is less casual, more feminine and it is part of your “dress to impress” outfits. While everyday bags can fit every style, this one should be a classic.

4. Party Bag
Small, yet practical, this bag is your choice when you are going out for drinks with your friends, or when you are planning to dance at some club. You can choose from various prints and colors, but the best ones are cross body bags, because you don’t have to put them down.

5. Summer Bag
Light and playful, a summer bag is a real refreshment in your closet. While trends may come and go, summers are always fun, especially fashion wise. Choose bags that you can wear when you go shopping, or when you are at the beach; accessorize it with a colorful scarf or pendants. Embrace summer fun, and look fabulous.
