The temperatures are starting to drop and the sun is setting earlier and earlier. With it, our wardrobes begin to change as we opt for more layers, a different colour palette and warmer materials. Make sure you update your accessories in line with the changing season too. Here’s our roundup of best clutch bags to suit your Autumn looks in 2022.

What to look for in your fall season bags?
When it comes to choosing a new evening bag perfect for Autumn, there are a few things to consider. Think about:
- Opt for warmer colours
- Try reds, deep russet, and burgundy shades
- Match the material of your handbag with your outfit – why not try velvet?
- Try shoulder bags or crossbody so you can go hands-free and keep your hands warm
What types of bags to avoid?
There are no real rules – we’re all about wearing what works for you. However, typically we would avoid wearing soft pastel shades, or bright and loud yellows, oranges and blues in Autumn. They don’t tend to go with a darker wardrobe and are more suited to Spring and Summer months.
5 Best Clutch Bags for Autumn in 2022
If you’re looking for some inspo on the best clutch bags to try this Autumn, here’s a roundup of five of our favourites.
1. Burgundy clutch
Burgundy is quite possibly the most fall-esque colour we can think of, so it’s without a doubt our #1 style bag to choose for the new season. Not only does it represent fall vibes perfectly, reminiscent of deep red wine, but it’s a super elegant shade for cooling temperatures and evening events. Our pick is the Caydence Hotfix Clutch from Olga Berg. Decked out with sparkly oversized crystals, it’s a red carpet showstopper kind of bag. The rounded square shape fits comfortably in the palm of your hand or you can use the convenient shoulder chain.

2. Rose gold clutch
There’s something about rose gold that seems to work perfectly for every occasion. It’s easier to wear than silver or gold, and perfect for special events without looking overdone. A rose gold clutch is also perfect for Autumn as it will work well with darker colour palettes as you change your wardrobe for cooling temperatures. Our current favourite is the Bianca Ball Mesh Handle Bag. She’s a stunning bag that works for both formal and casual events.

This is a great one to gift someone with or to mark a special occasion like a wedding or birthday. The Avah Monogrammed Clutch in red is our pick for Autumn-esque vibes.
