The Small Clutch

When the occasion calls for a dressy look, Joe says a small clutch is the perfect bag for night out. It should be big enough to carry just your essentials, which Joe says you can remember with the acronym MILK: money, ID, lipstick and keys.

If you're only going to buy one evening bag, Joe says to go for something with shine, like metallics, sequins or metal details.
