This year’s Christmas party season may well be a bit more low key than usual if a lot of social occasions are affected by restrictions due to the pandemic. However, this just means that when you do get a chance to get dressed up and enjoy yourself, you should make the most of the opportunity and really enjoy the best in glamorous evening fashion with our choice of Yves Saint Laurent bags.
If you are planning to invest in a new bag to go with your party looks for the autumn and winter season, then you can never go wrong with the timeless chic of Saint Laurent. Here, we take a look at some of the bags in the new Saint Laurent collection that will be sure to make for a great addition to your evening and party wardrobe – not just for this season, but for years to come. Let’s get started!
Beige Lou Camera Bag
The camera bag styles by Saint Laurent are a lovely option for evening, as they allow room for all of your essentials for a night out while still having the dainty, ornamental look of an evening bag. Having a shoulder strap can be a lot more convenient than a clutch style at a party where you’ll be standing a lot, too, such as if you’re mingling with drinks (at least, as much as social distancing will allow!). The Lou camera bag is one of the latest Saint Laurent handbags to become a classic choice. It will look good with just about any level of evening, party or formalwear, whether you prefer suits, dresses, or pretty separates like black trousers with a sparkly top. It is available in a choice of colours, but the beige option makes for a nice pale neutral that can stand out a bit more than black while being easier to wear with all of your favourite outfits than a stronger colour.
Black Small Croc Kate Tassel Bag
If you like the glamorous look of croc, then the Kate tassel bag in black crocodile will be a bag you’ll love that will never go out of style – making it a great investment. This bag has the gold YSL monogram logo and a pretty gold tassel detail that gives it a look that stands out just enough to be a pretty addition to your party outfit, without being too busy to wear with prints or dresses with some sparkle. The bag is available in different sizes and also comes in silver detail which can be accessorised with a silver ring. The small version is ideal for evening and will accommodate essentials like your phone and money without giving a bulky look.
Off-White Mini Cassandra Bag
If you like a bag that you can use clutch style or have with a strap, then the Cassandra bag is a great choice, with its small handles and removable strap. The off-white version of this bag is a clean and elegant looking piece that will not only look great with your autumn and winter outfits but can also be a good match for spring and summer party looks, making this a versatile choice to get now and use all year round. The mini size is ideal for evening, though the Cassandra bag is available in larger sizes if you tend to carry more than just evening essentials or want a beautiful bag suitable for all-day events.
Gold Monogramme Envelope Chain Wallet
If you love the luxurious look of gold and want to add some metallic detail to your Christmas party looks, then this wallet style bag with chain shoulder strap is perfect. The smooth gold colour is subtle rather than gaudy and serves as a neutral when it comes to pairing it with your outfits, meaning that it will look great with coloured dresses as well as with black or white. This is a wonderful choice if you want a bag that stands out and yet still retains the iconic look associated with YSL.
These are just four of the best in the latest collection of Saint Laurent bags, but if you want to make the best choice, then it’s a good idea to check out the full range, which includes many more colours and styles, as well as day bags, totes, belt bags and backpacks, in addition to the evening bags listed here.
If you are not a fan of the Saint Laurent brand, then Chanel bags are another option.
