An outfit is made by the accessories and purse you pair with it; a clutch can simply dress up your apparel or purposely stand out as a statement piece to bring character to an outfit.

If your outfit is simple, it is safe to say you can pair an outlandish piece of statement jewelry, or a whimsical and fun clutch to convey your style. It is always fun to pair a hot pink clutch or fresh color to a little black dress or apparel that is solid in color.

If you put your money into any trend this summer, make it a clutch. One reason is because it's versatile with anything you already have in your closet. It can be worn various times and, if you're wanting a clutch that goes with everything, make sure it is solid in color to switch out with cocktail dresses, take along to the beach to carry your cell phone and suntan lotion, and to wear with work apparel.

The following clutches have just that. Versatile power:

The Summer Beachgrass Bamboo Clutch is amazingly versatile. With a bamboo handle, this bag is beach-ready and easy to carry around, adding a casually chic feel to your summer wardrobe. The chain dresses the purse up and can be paired with your summer dress. The colors are fun to put with a busy pattern or dress up a neutral sundress.

The Lily Metallic Linen Clutch is amazingly dressy but can also be worn casually with a maxi or jeans.
