There’s nothing worse than toting a heavy bag and having it drag you down. Instead of cramming everything in your clutch, you can compromise and find the perfect bag with room to spare– in a clever shape that gives you some space. Finally! A smaller purse that you can take advantage of and not look like you’re lugging the world with you– even if you are.

Shape is Important
Find a rectangular clutch to give you a little extra wiggle room. If your bag is longer and slightly shorter, you can fit your phone, plenty of pens and pencils, a lipstick, and a compact all in your fun little bag– with room to spare. It’s perfect when you’d like to stash a toothbrush and an overnight extra in case you don’t make it back.

Make Some Space
Find a fold-over clutch to fool the eyes. You can stuff it full and then fold it over to decrease its size by half! If you choose a color that really tones down a bag that’s full to bursting or beyond. With foldover styles, you can also find plenty of secret pockets in the folding flap.

Use Outer Pockets to Your Advantage
Boxy clutches with outer pockets can grant you much needed space. Little patch pockets on the outside of your purse give you extra space for your favorite lip gloss, some mints or gum, and a mini mirror as well. Be sure to find a clutch purse with secure closures to prevent any spillage when you are dancing it up.

Tip: With larger clutch purses, look for a wristlet style that can free up your hands when you go out.
