Blue handbags: when the blues make for a great look!

Opting for a blue handbag means opting for an eye-catching accessory. A blue handbag can be just as elegant as a black one but, unlike the latter, it always lends your outfit a modern twist. These three designs selected by Stylight will help you decide which handbag and shade of blue are best for you!

1. The working woman’s blues

Contemporary business handbags are a lot more quirky and extravagant than they used to be. Nowadays it is perfectly acceptable to mix and match your office look to your heart’s desire; that way you’ll never get bored with your style. Blue business handbags are quickly gaining popularity because they combine a number of characteristics: timelessness, elegance and modernity. Choose a design with a padded laptop compartment and dividers for documents and your other belongings. Rich shades of blue and deep midnight blue are perfect for work – this also applies to briefcases or laptop covers.

2. The latest update on blue clutches

For the ladies, a blue clutch is the ideal bar crawl companion. It’s the perfect size and shape for when it gets crowded at the bar or there’s nowhere to put your bag. You can simply tuck a blue clutch under your arm! In a bright color such as azure, this type of bag looks extravagant, yet stylish – even at over 30s parties or in sophisticated hotel bars. Embossed real or faux leather adds style points; in other respects the bag should be simple and have an unobtrusive fastener. Our tip: An azure handbag goes well with a black pant suit (3/4 length with waisted jacket), a silk blouse in the same shade of blue, and black pumps.

3. When they love watching you walk away

A blue nautical backpack is always a great choice. Nautical detailing, such as white rope drawcords or an emblem in gold or red add a little extra flair. Choose a lightweight fabric, such as canvas or duck cloth, then your blue backpack won’t just be suitable for hiking expeditions, but for city trips, or going to class as well. Our tip: Wear boat shoes to complement the nautical look!

Create an amazing look by wearing shoes in exactly the same shade of blue as your handbag. Then there’s nothing to stop you color blocking!
