What’s your go-to bag for a night out or formal event? While you might be attached to your current clutch, we’re here to tell you why you should consider investing in a wristlet bag this year. It’s ultra convenient, and perfect for hitting the dance floor too. Keep reading to find out why a wristlet is actually the best style bag to use for a wedding, birthday party, the races, or formal cocktail party.

What is a wristlet bag?

First thing first- what actually is a wristlet bag we hear you wondering. This style is a small bag with a little strap that can be worn around your wrist (hence the name). They are normally just a little larger than a regular wallet and smaller than a traditional clutch bag.

Why wear a wristlet?

Why do we love wristlets? For so many reasons! The benefits for wearing this style of bag include:

  • Comfortable: Forget having a sore shoulder from lugging around more than you actually need on your shoulder. A wristlet is very comfy to wear.
  • Portable: You can take a wristlet with you anywhere thanks to being small and easy to carry.
  • Hands-free: Traditional clutch bags mean you’ve always got your hands full. Thanks to a wristlet you can go hands free (and avoid a sore shoulder at the same time).
  • Stylish: These cute bags work for any occasion from brunch with girlfriends right down to red carpet events.

How to choose a wristlet bag?

When it comes to shopping for this style of handbag, there are a few things to consider.

  • Size: Generally speaking wristlets are the size of your wallet, but you can get some slight variation here. Consider if you want something that will also hold your phone, some cash and lipstick.
  • Colour: Black is a classic choice and is versatile enough that it will go with an outfit and for any event. If you’re only going to wear your wristlet with certain outfits, consider something sparkly and fun.
  • Style: Do you want embossed flowers, sparkles, beads, and other embellishments? Or something a little more easy to wear?
  • Material: Consider opting for an easy to clean material if you’re wearing your wristlet to parties where drinks might be spilled on it.
