Best Velvet Clutch

iSbaby Evening Bag Clutch [5] ($10)

We have a feeling you'll reach for this velvet clutch on repeat for years to come. It has an envelope-shaped design and comes in two colors: black (pictured here) and red.

Best Rhinestone Clutch

Sweetv Sparkly Rhinestone Clutch [6] ($15, originally $31)

This slouchy, sparkly clutch sparkles like a disco ball and features adjustable and removable straps, so you can clutch it with your hands or drape it over your shoulder. It's large enough to hold a cellphone and other essentials like your keys and wallet and even has an internal slip pocket to keep you organized.

Best Envelope Bag

Dasein Faux Suede Evening Clutch [7] ($16, originally $20)

This enveloped-shaped faux suede evening clutch complements many outfits and features a removable chain strap that easily converts from a clutch to a crossbody. We love the versatility of this particular black one, but it also comes in maximalist designs and pops of color.

Best Pleated Clutch

iWish Golden Glitter Clutch [8] ($18)

Doesn't this glitter clutch look triple the price? Whether it catches your eye for an upcoming wedding you're attending or just a night out, it's bound to be a compliment magnet wherever your plans take you.

Best Vacation Clutch

Freie Liebe Straw Clutch Purse [9] ($19)

Deciding which bag to pack for your getaway? Meet the clutch that's about to become your go-to. It holds all your must haves and looks chic with every holiday outfit you've planned.

Best Denim Clutch

GASSDA Denim Mini Bag [10] ($20, originally $29)

This denim mini bag certainly isn't your average pouch. It comes in three shades of blue and two versatile sizes: small or large. You can either wear it as a crossbody for a hands-free day or switch it up as a top-handle clutch.

Best Faux Leather Clutch

NIGEDU Faux Leather Clutch [11] ($22)

We love wearing this buttery faux leather clutch as a crossbody, but the clutch strap really elevates it. (You just slip your hand through it for a secure grip, and it looks really chic.) It gives off vintage vibes — like a gem you'd find at a thrift store, minus the time-consuming hunt.

Best Heart-Shaped Clutch

Lytosmoo Heart Shaped Handbag [12] ($22, originally $24)

Wouldn't this heart-shaped clutch be perfect for a wedding? It comes in black, red, blue, and purple, with velvet fabric and a polyester inner lining. It can't fit large smartphones, but it has you covered for smaller-size items like your license, lipstick, and keys.

Best Foldover Clutch

HOXIS Women's Zipper Foldover Clutch [13] ($24, originally $28)

Amazon reviewers rave that this bag looks luxe without the designer price tag. It features a delicate chain strap that you can shorten to wear over your shoulder, but the slouchy, foldover design is hands down the most popular way to style it.

Best Knotted Clutch

Babeyond Clutch [14] ($24)

This clutch features a knot-shaped handle, so you can loop it around your wrist when you need to be hands-free. It comes in two sizes, with the largest being big enough to fit a cellphone. Aside from this velvet burgundy style, it also comes in other fun options with rhinestones, pearls, and more. Our editor tested out the brand's sequined version [15] ($24) and was surprised by how versatile it actually is. For more details and photos, read her Babeyond Clutch review [16].

Editor Quote: "The knot shape feels very on-trend, but it also makes for a convenient design since I can slip the loop around my wrist. A clutch that requires my hands when there's eating and drinking in proximity is the worst sort of clutch, in my opinion. The sequins add eye-catching sparkle, but the black color and small shape keep it from feeling gaudy. It plays well with other shiny pieces like silk skirts, studded booties, and rhinestone jewelry, and it elevates basics like jeans and a black turtleneck for dinner and drinks. It has a zipper closure, so you can rest assured that the contents of your purse will stay safe, and a magnetic snap closure that holds the knot shape." — Angela Elias, contributing editor, Shopping

Best Top-Handle Clutch

Hoxis Classic Crocodile Pattern Faux Leather Metal Grip Cut it out Clutch [17] ($28)

Consider this faux leather design if you're looking for something a bit roomier. It's not your usual handleless clutch, but ideal for those who prefer a built-in grip for convenience.

Best Satin Clutch

Charming Tailor Clutch Evening Bag [18] ($29)

This satin handbag features elegant pleating, a detachable chain, and a magnet closure. Inside, there's a zipper pocket for small items that you want to keep extra-safe. This bright pink color is the perfect way to embrace the Barbie pink trend.

Best Sculptural Clutch

Cuxva Acrylic Evening Clutch Purse [19] ($30)

Dupe alert! Everyone at the party will be asking you if this is the $600 version. Spoiler: it's not — but it's a seriously good, wallet-friendly spin on the sculptural bag trend.

Best Floral Clutch

Lanpet Clutches Flower Evening Handbag [20] ($31, originally $36)

This clutch is maximalist in style in every sense of the word. It reminds us of Taylor Swift [21]'s Oscar de la Renta dress [22] from the 2021 Grammy Awards, both of which are covered in bright floral appliqués.

Best Acrylic Clutch

Menurra Acrylic Evening Clutch [23] ($32)

Prefer something a little more double-take-worthy? Feast your eyes on this unique marbled option that resembles a shell. The structured design and chic clasp add to its undeniable allure.

Best Pearl Clutch

Uborse Pearl Clutch Bag [24] ($47)

Love pearls? This bag might be your perfect match. Adorned with pearls of various sizes, it comes with a detachable pearl strap, so you can carry it by hand or hold it clutch-style.

Best Designer Dupe

Urawow Acrylic Evening Handbag [25] ($50)

This clutch is a dupe for a high-end version that costs over $300. While it has some design differences from the original, both clutches are crafted from acrylic and showcase beading around the exterior.

Best Leather Clutch

Rebecca Minkoff Ruched Clutch [26] ($128)

This Rebecca Minkoff clutch is the perfect combination of timeless and edgy. It's made of genuine leather and has a gathered top, tassel zip-pull, and slouchy silhouette. You can dress it up or down with ease.

Best Leather Clutch

Tory Burch Women's Reva Clutch [27] ($395)

If you're looking for a designer leather clutch for under $500, this Tory Burch pick checks all the boxes. It boasts the brand's iconic logo emblem on the front, a detachable gold chain strap, and soft curves that add just the right amount of visual intrigue.

Best Designer Clutch

Jacquemus La Pochette Rond Carre Clutch [28] ($1,001)

For every story we work on, you can rest assured we'll include at least one aspirational option from Shopbop's Amazon storefront [29]. The gold-tone cube and silver-tone sphere embellishments, not to mention the luxury label's standout logo lettering, make this one hard to miss at the party.
