While clutches are a style of bag that we all love and know will never go out of style, it does come with its downsides. They take up space from your hands, leaving only one hand free for holding a drink, greeting a friend, and so on. Imagine hugging your friend with a clutch in one hand and a drink in the other – you can’t, right?! Not to mention just how easy it is to forget about your clutch and lose it once you’ve put it down for a moment.

So why not choosing to opt to a small purse with a longer strap that you can conveniently whisk on your shoulder? This way you can leave your hands free for the important things the night will bring along! To give you ideas of which style might be your favorite for a fun and stylish night out, we’ve rounded up our best picks for going-out bags for you to take a look at!

Now tell us, which one’s your favorite?! Happy nights out to you and your choice of bag!
