As invitations to holiday parties start to come in, the question of what to wear looms large. No matter what outfit you choose — and regardless of how small or large your budget — there’s a clutch to spice it up. Shiny metallic and patent leather designs can dress up suits for those after-work parties. On the weekends, clutches in vibrant hues and unusual silhouettes can add spark to those little black dresses. Here are a few picks, now in stores and online.
