Unless you have been in a cave for the last couple of years, or you genuinely do not care about being a fashionista and trendy, you should know the beauty of small bags on an evening out.

We have come a long way with fashion. Every season fashion designers introduce new styles to us. 

There is a great collaboration between these designers and the world’s topmost celebrities, the likes of Victoria Beckham (wife to soccer star David Beckham), heiress Paris Hilton and very many others, who are influential in the world’s fashion industry.

 So, as we go into the whys and wherefores of the fashion details, we can only tell you that it’s as important to update your wardrobe with the latest trends on the market.

If you are on the look for the ladies’ latest evening bags, be warned not to buy those office huge handbags, because purses are the ones on.

A small trendy evening bag means elegant, but do not overstuff, tailoring is the key.

A terrific purse well matched on an evening dress is a flatter! Without doubt, a small stylish purse is an instant update to any evening outfit. A handbag is one of the first accessories that people, especially trendy women make note of at any event.

If you are searching for a hot little purse for an evening out, or dinner, here are some tips to help you find one that will compliment your looks for the event:

1. Carry a small red purse if you are planning to wear a black dress. This is by far the best match because it is both work and weekend friendly.

2. Buy a structured bag. This type of bag is more formal than the shoulder bag. Prominent for its compact design with clever accompaniments, this bag is often colourful. It’s the perfect choice for the work environment.

3. Want better bag to enjoy the weekend and off-work hours than a casual one. Look for dainty florals, neat patterns and bright plastics.

However, the idea for the casual bag is that you can grab it and go. It pairs well with jeans and has the room to put more things in. You can always carry it on more relaxed occasions that do not require you to be too modish.

The bag that you need is a really terrific purse. Here, size absolutely matters. A versatile purse is not only made of lightweight material but also sports a classic design like the striped purses with leather handles.

An evening bag is supposed to be gorgeous, or at least clutch to accompany your formalwear. Keep in mind that an evening bag should be too small just to carry a few essentials; like lipstick, a mobile phone, a tissue and powder.

Now, once you have the basics down, another important thing to consider is that desire for oversized bags on an evening outing, is only excused to mothers on a date with their babies.

Maria Kabatesi says small evening bags have more potential than being a mere fashionable accessory, because they compliment the carrier.

"If you want to look gorgeous and smart on an evening date, buy yourself a trendy small and match it with your accessories,” says Kabatesi.

It’s apparent that a big percentage of women and girls are obsessed with fashion, but there are also those who do not care being fashion disasters.

The good news is that these bags do not limit size, and health experts say that they do not have any negative implications. They are accessible in fashion stores, simple, light and trendy!
