Now it's time to focus on that special night of the year, New Year's eve, and after all the bookings done, we wonder what to wear. One thing is certain, no outfit would be complete without the ultimate party accessory - the clutch bag.

If you're wearing black it's worth investing in a bold colour to create a contrast but if what you're planning to wear has different tones and patterns, choose the most vibrant colour for your clutch bag.

Black always looks good, but if you go for the edgy and sexy look, gold or lace can be the best match, to make you look even more precious. Josephine de la Baume looks fabulous in this Louis Vuitton ensemble!

You can also support emerging designers such as Lena Erziak, who has a wide-ranging collection, from apple shaped to beautiful golden square clutches.

The challenge about this bag is what to take with you, there's only room for the bare essentials. If you have a white themed party going on, which is recurrent on this festive period, you can also go for silver and white.
