What is the Best Color for a Handbag?

Neutral Colors

When you think of a classic look, you might think of neutrals like the casual Suzy bag are an excellent alternative to black.

They blend so well with any outfit... But neutral doesn't have to be dull beige or brown, though.

Though you may think of it as a color for special occasions, gold functions as a neutral.

A gold bag like our Mabel Bowknot Crossbody bag is stunning against dark colors like navy, olive green, royal purple or burgundy, and is particularly elegant when worn with black.

Speaking of pink - blush is the new nude.

A blush handbag can go with absolutely any color effortlessly - without taking away too much attention from the rest of your attire.

Any color combination can match a neutral color without disturbing the overall palette.

In fact, it even enhances it. It also complements lighter colors and lends a subtle touch of elegance to a crisp white outfit, and adds some sparkle to pink and orange fashion.

The advantage of neutral colors is that they highlight whatever you want to draw attention to even more. Are you wearing a cute little black dress? Or perhaps a navy suit?

Instead of the handbag sticking out like a sore thumb, neutral handbags will blend with the style and makes your outfit pop every time.

Leopard print is a neutral.

No, really. If you wear an outfit of all solid colors, you can carry a leopard print bag or accessories without worrying that they will clash.

Just make sure the animal print comprises of neutrals like tans and beiges. Pink or navy leopard print are not neutrals, however.

And we probably don't need to remind you that if you're going for animal print, ensure it's using a vegan alternative to traditional leather.

Metallic

Metallic handbags may seem like an odd one to throw in here, but it is true.

We've already identified gold as a neutral.

Wearing other metallics, such as silver, copper, or any other metallic shade, are incredibly versatile and work just as well as neutral shades.

You can wear them during all seasons and get the most out of your investment. They can bring together a casual outfit or add an extra touch of glam on a night out or during a formal event.

If added to your typical pair of jeans and a simple black top, standout metallic copper or bronze handbags can lend a bit of a rocker look to the style mavens who wear it.

Green

Not just any shade of green can indeed function as a goes-with-everything color. But green has several shades that combine well with black, white, pinks, purples, corals, blues, oranges, and yellows.

Darker shades of forest green, olive or khaki are definitely neutral.

Think about the greens that you find nature, and how they don't ever seem to clash with the flowers around them.

Lime greens and other hues can be more of a statement piece, but if you select the right shade of green handbag that matches a few outfits in your wardrobe, you are good to go for the day.

Color therapy also suggests that greens, especially the brighter tones, create a feeling of calmness and can potentially relieve stress. So for those who like to consider the more subconscious impact color has to our outfits, green might be the color for you.

Teal

Teal is an exciting color to choose, and you will find it everywhere this season. It is seen as a flattering color, seeing as it matches all different skin tone types, and everyone can look great wearing it.

It is a striking color for handbags, which means it might not go with everything.

However, if you choose a darker shade of teal, rather than the more vibrant hues, it functions more like navy and will match with a surprising range of colors (though if it is too dark, it won't play well with black).

This shade is universal because it fits with most other colors without looking too harsh or too boisterous.

Tan

Tan matches with everything, black - however - does not. Anyone in fashion knows that black does not match with navy or brown. Not so with a tan accessory. If you carry a tan-colored bag, you will never have to worry about breaking fashion rules.

No matter what kind of a day you wake up to, no matter what outfit you decide you love that day, your tan bag is guaranteed to be a perfect, style-safe match. So there you have it.

There are a few suggestions in this article that demonstrate the range of colors that you can choose for your next bag purchase.

Keep in mind the clothes you own, or intend wear, while you go through this list to see what color handbag goes with them - You may find combinations you want to add to your closet.

If your wardrobe tends to brighter colors like red, magenta and orange, you may want to stick to neutrals such as beige and light pastels fit. If your wardrobe itself is very neutral, you can choose a standout bag because neutral goes with everything.

If you accessorize jewel tones and bold colors, a silver bag might be the one that's best for you. Stick to the list here if you want to invest in bags that you can use, reuse, and match for any day of the year.
