Within every realm of fashion there are certain essentials; must-have apparel, must- have footwear, must-have jewelry – you get the point.

Well, with handbags it’s no different! In our expert opinion, there are six styles of purses every fashionista should have on hand.

From the oversized tote to the swanky clutch, we’ve pulled together every purse you’ll ever need to not only complete any outfit, but also compliment it to perfection! We’ve also picked purses priced within every price range, catering to gals who prefer to splurge or save.

The Oversized Tote: This particular carry-all is the go-to bag for the majority of women. Because of its size, you’re able to stash everything you need for a successful, stress-free day at the office, the gym or wherever it is you go…

A Swanky Clutch: For those extravagant evening soirees, you need a clutch that’s as radiant and striking as you are! Whether you prefer envelope styles or box clutches, there are a variety to choose from to fit your fashion needs. One of our fav designs this year was Alexander McQueen’s lux box clutch.

Straw Handbag: This is THE perfect summer bag, and the best part is – the look is timeless. You can take this purse to a luncheon with friends and also to a spontaneous trip to the beach without having to worry about the sand cramping its style…and appearance.

Flavor of the Month: Every season, new and exciting trends emerge, and being the fashionista you are, you must have something that boasts these particular fads. Well, this fall there is no shortage of spectacular looks and designs. A few of our favorites are those with tassel accents, doctor bags and items saturated with the ‘it’ color of the season – burgundy!

Crossbody Bag: This is a great bag for the girl-on-the-go who is going out to run errands or simply indulging in a little retail therapy. On these occasions you don’t want to carry around a large tote, rather something equipped to hold your shopping essentials such as your phone, money and credit cards. The crossbody design is great because it sits close to your body, securing your valuables and freeing up your hands – another total shopping plus!

Chain-Strap Bag: This design is hands down, one of the most lady-like and timeless creations ever made. Fitting for every occasion, formal or casual, this purse will be your BFF for years to come, garnering you a slew of compliments along the way.
