Hard-Case Clutches for Nights Out


Amp up your night out looks with a an elegant hard-case clutch. Seen all over the Emmy's carpet this year, hard-case clutches have been trending as an accessory to have not just for special occasion dressing, but for dressing up your jeans and heels as well. I love the formula of dressy jeans, glam top and heels and a hard-case clutch for a date night or an evening downtown with friends. More on this further below!

These bags below will go with the bold, vibrant colors that are so hot this season. The neutral bags you see here like the the silver, black and gold clutches would be great accents to a colorful outfit, but we also like pairing a bold with another bold, like wearing the red or teal clutch with a vivid purple top.
