Holiday Style SOS: It’s Not the Dress, It’s the Bag

Holiday Style SOS: It’s Not the Dress, It’s the Bag

The industry wants you to believe the perfect holiday outfit is all about the dress. The sequins, the silhouette, the price tag – that’s where everyone focuses. The mistake everyone makes is treating the bag as an afterthought. But a casual bag can instantly downgrade even the most spectacular dress.



Here's the truth: your bag is the punctuation mark of your outfit. It’s the final statement. A clashing or underwhelming bag screams 'I don't understand the assignment'.



The Lishé approach is different. We understand that true elegance is about considered details. It's about quiet luxury that speaks volumes. It’s about selecting a bag that complements and elevates, not detracts.



3 Hidden Factors for Holiday Bag Perfection:




  1. Texture Harmony: Velvet dress? Opt for smooth leather or satin. Sequins? Consider a suede clutch for textural contrast. Avoid clashing textures that fight for attention.

  2. Scale & Proportion: A massive tote will overwhelm a delicate cocktail dress. Conversely, a tiny clutch might get lost with a voluminous gown. Consider the overall silhouette and choose a bag that balances the look.

  3. Color Theory: Don't be afraid of color, but be deliberate. A pop of unexpected color can be amazing, but ensure it complements, not clashes. Metallics are always a safe bet for evening, but consider the undertones (gold vs. silver) in relation to your jewelry.



Consider the Elva bag in Suede. Its clean lines and luxurious texture elevate any holiday ensemble. It’s the kind of understated elegance that true style icons choose.



This holiday season, don't let a haphazard bag sabotage your stunning dress. Choose wisely. Choose Lishé. Choose timeless elegance.
