Always in Fashion

It is said that some things, like attitude and silver clutch bags never go out of fashion. A silver clutch bag is defined as a small, silver handbag, which does not have a handle, and is designed to be carried by "clutching" it in one's hand. They are generally carried for formal evening dinner parties. Women need bags to carry their things, especially because the most feminine clothes come sans pockets. Plus, to maintain that gorgeous look, a woman must carry her purse, compact, lip gloss and Chap Stick with her always, in addition to the compulsory money and cell phone. A huge handbag looks silly on a slinky, sexy evening gown, and so these bags are the best way to go.
Silver clutch bags are always in vogue mainly because they match with most outfits. Especially if you combine them with a dark coloured evening dress, silver jewellery, and matching makeup. However, there are gold and silver clutch bag combos - which match with your jewellery in case you are wearing gold. This bag is a woman's best friend and an absolute must have for your wardrobe.
It is believed that these bags evolved with the evolution of clutch purses in the Victorian era, with the reticule - a tiny purse in which a high class, well-groomed lady kept her handkerchief (in case she bursts into tears (which happened a lot in those days) and her smelling salts (in case she swooned - which also happened very frequently in those days). These went out of fashion, and made a comeback during World War - 2, when due to financial problems and lack of resources, everything had to be rationed out, and everything had to be necessarily small. Thus, the clutch became an evening bag, because its origins lay with the Victorian era of long, silk, velvet or satin flowing skirts which have evolved now into beautiful, elegant evening gowns, usually made of similar materials.
Silver clutch bags are fashionable because their silver colour adds to the beauty of an evening gown, and because they complete the look of elegance.
