Best Clutch Bags and Handbags for Race Day Outfits

  • Published: May 15th 2020 / Updated: March 8th 2023

There are two sentences I hear almost everyday as a Milliner. The first is, "I don't think hats suit me". I answer that question separately in another Blog post!. The second sentence is "I don't know if I have a bag to match. What bag would I use to go with this outfit? Where can I get a bag?"

No outfit for a day at the races is complete without a stylish handbag. I've seen many outfits ruined by an old handbag, or even a Tescos shopping bag - honestly, I've seen it!. Once you’ve found the dress and hat, now finish your look with a clutch bag or mini handbag for your Royal Ascot, Epsom Derby or other Racing Fashion outfits. It needn’t cost a fortune if you don't want. Keep it small, elegant and fun and it will complement your outfit. Pour on the glamour with a sparkle-embellished clutch if your dress is quite simple. Or choose a simple clutch if the dress has a lot going on. Want to try the metallic trend? Then a day at the races is a perfect day for incorporating this trend.

Ever, and always willing to help my customers out with the hunt for the perfect bag to compliment the www.dress-2-impress.com hat range, I've compiled my selection of the best clutches out there for you to go with your race day outfits. A clutch with optional chain is usually best. For the pictures early in the day tuck the chain in and use elegantly as a clutch, then later for mingling and carrying your drinks, slip the chain out and wear as a shoulder bag.

Below is a gallery of some of the best clutch bags I've hunted out for you (I constantly update, add, remove bags each season). I've divided the bags into a few different categories (budgets), from those totally spoiling themselves, to the more budget conscious, so you can select from the category that suits your requirements. I constantly update, add, remove bags each season so you should find you can still grab them.

This post includes affiliate links - suggestions of items I've selected you. If you see anything you like, click the links and decide to buy the suggestion, then the retailer will give me a little commission (maybe even enough to buy a latte) to thank me.
