These are just a few reasons why a mini bag makes a perfect present (and festive plus-one)—read on for more.
For A Refined Look: Shoulder Bag
Shoulder bags blend sophistication with casual style for a practical choice that can be easily dressed up or dressed down.
For Day: Style your shoulder bag with your go-to jeans and chunky sneakers to elevate your outfit before heading out.
For Night: Pair your shoulder bag with dress pants and a tailored blazer before heading out to a formal dinner for a sophisticated, put together look.
To Go from Day to Night:
- Use Accessories: Embrace who you are with bag charms that speak to you. Go for a personality-filled pick (like our Apple Bag Charm or Pretzel Bag Charm) during the day and swap out for an elegant chain (Motif Chain Strap) in the evening.
- Adjust Straps: Plenty of shoulder bags come with multiple strap or chain options. Adjust or swap out your straps to completely change the look of your shoulder bag when transitioning from day to night.
For Hands-Free Style: Crossbody
Don't know what to wear when you’ll be on the move all day? Crossbodies are made to conveniently move with you while keeping important items secure, all without sacrificing style. Perfect for shopping, commuting, taking photos, or dancing the night away.
For Day: Style your crossbody with your most comfortable everyday attire — whether that’s jean and a light tee or joggers and a comfy tee—and let your bag elevate your look for you.
For Night: Ready for a night out? Allow the refined aesthetics of your crossbody bag to shine when strapped across your favorite dress.
To Go from Day to Night:
- Detach Straps: Certain crossbodies come with detachable chains or straps. If you prefer a statement clutch for the evening, simply remove your straps for an entirely new look.
- Change Styles: While crossbodies are known to be worn across your body, you can also wear yours as a long shoulder bag. Another tip: Match your jewelry to your bag's hardware—like gold chain-link straps or accents—before a night out to bring your entire look together.

For A Utilitarian Choice: Carryall
Whether you're out running errands or heading to a friend's house for a few hours, there are some occasions that require a bag that can fit more than just the essentials. Luckily, there are plenty of modern totes and carryalls that can take on everything the day (or night) throws your way—and look good while doing it.
For Day: Team your carryall with your gym attire for understated style and unbeatable functionality.
For Night: Wear your bag with a tailored jacket and loafers for a classic pairing that never goes out of style.
To Go from Day to Night:
- Explore Carrying Options: Wear your tote over your shoulder for casual comfort during the day or carry it by its handle or straps to make a statement in the evening.
- Play With Proportions: Match your carryall's larger silhouette with wide leg jeans and a loose, breezy top for a laid-back daytime look. When it's time to head out for the night, offset your bag's oversized style with something a bit more tight-fitting.
