A man bag issue
Posted May 3, 2010
Why should a man be bound to stuff everything in his pockets when actually some handbag styles are fashionable and appropriate for him?
Forget the old cliché that says that a man needs a woman so he can put his credit cards and car keys in her evening bag; a man can now walk alone and indulge in designer accessory buying too.
If they are plenty of options with fashion houses adding man bags to their menswear line, a few tips are always useful to adopt a trend in the right way.
For the colour, black is a good start and can be blended into a wardrobe very easily. For the size, start small and get use to your new look; the structured mannish clutch version from Dolce & Gabbana is exactly what you need. It is discreet, elegant especially in exotic skin; the neat finish and structured shapes add some panache to any business attire. Hold it firmly or let it hang, this accessory is lively and functional. When feeling confident, just carry on and diversify your man bag portfolio.
