Wristlet Trend: Practical & Stylish - Burberry Metallic Leather Small Wristlet Clutch & more shopping the trend!

Here's a practical trend - instead of picking up (yet another!) clutch, how about a stylish little wristlet this season? Size-wise, it is somewhere between a clutch and a wallet, and will comfortably carry your phone, lipstick and perhaps even a small compact. There are a variety of sizes available (some close to standard clutch-size), but we recommend you keep this smaller.. The wrist strap is supposed to keep you handsfree for the evening - something that has always been an issue with a clutch - so you don't want it to be too heavy.

The holidays are soon upon us, so this is being profiled as an Evening Trend, but it certainly translates very well for daytime! If you have client lunches, or meetings out of the office, a wristlet is the perfect accessory.. after all, you don't want to lug a heavy handbag on your lunch appointment (just take it to the office in your regular handbag). For the day, simple quality leather will do, skip the animal print or sparkle! But a soft metallic, like this Burberry wristlet, works for both day and night.
