Here at Gabor Shoes UK, we believe that a handbag is more than just a practical accessory to carry the essentials. Your choice of bag can not only make or break an outfit, but it makes a statement too. Whether you’re looking for a chic day-to-dinner clutch or a spacious weekend tote, choosing the right style for a given look is less about trends and more about colour and functionality. The right bag should complement the overall look, while adding a unique touch to your wardrobe. Still unsure? Keep reading for styling tips you can use now and rediscover throughout the year.
The errand runner
It’s a simple tote bag except we’ve made it bolder. The Elfie shoulder bag has all the lightweight benefits of the popular tote style; it’s comfortable to wear and looks great with all of your casuals but we’ve taken it a step further. With a secure zip fastening in three striking colourways, Elfie is the trendy yet functional style we’re loving this season.
Offering plenty of storage space for on-the-go moments, pair this bold style with a pair of chunky trainers and your smartest casuals for weekend shopping days and catch ups with friends. A timeless easy-going style may just be spring called for but don’t just take our word for it, wear the trends.
Styling Tips: When styling a statement bag, stick to the basics. Matching your shoes to your accessories is one of the best ways to keep your bolds in the same colour family, tying together a complementary look worthy of trans-seasonal dressing.
The day-to-night
Every summer wardrobe needs that effortless day-to-dinner look. You know the kind- a simple wardrobe basic, stylish light layers, a bag for every occasion… Enter the ultimate bag and sandal combination. Achieving laid-back and put-together in one look is no easy task. Yet, there isn’t anything the right jumpsuit can’t achieve paired with Gabor Silena and a heeled sandal.
With a removable patterned strap and stylish design, Silena is the bag simple enough to pair with all your bolds, and unique enough to elevate the basics. Not convinced? Shop the style and create your own day-to-dinner looks.
Styling Tips: While we’ll be wearing ours with a classic spring denim, the Silena bag looks great with jumpers and trench coats on colder days. Prefer to keep it simple? Swap out the style’s iconic woven strap for its metallic alternative.
The stylish everyday
An everyday staple with an edge, the Alira bag pairs well with a range of outfits, from jeans to dresses. Unsure how to elevate your capsule wardrobe? A delicate and compact shoulder bag may just be what the season calls for. After all, handbags do make the ultimate staple accessory (aside from shoes of course!).
What do we love the most about the Alira style? It’s simple! In other words, it looks just as good with sandals as it does with trainers. Our advice? If you’re going to invest in a quality bag this season, make it a classic style you can wear again and again.
Styling tips: Pair Alira with complementary accessories like belts, sunglasses and jewelry to add depth to your look. Remember to keep it consistent to fully maximise on colour harmony. Styling around a bag? We suggest using colours that are already present in the style when building your outfit. Pair Alira with a white jumper or long sleeve top and add complementary neutral tones like brown and denim blue to create a succinct and detailed look.
