    From the office to the bar and everywhere in between, make sure you’re working the ‘70s trend with a new handbag

    This is a Marie Claire Advertorial

    What’s the easiest way to work a trend into your wardrobe? With a well-chosen accessory, of course. Finding the right handbag will completely overhaul your outfit and, if you don’t want to go all out on a new season look, will still allow you to show off your fashion credentials to those in the know. Alternatively, if you are going all out on ‘70s style, one of these bags will be the ultimate finishing touch to your new look.

    Luckily, there are so many great 70s-inspired handbags around this season, that you can add one or two (or three, or four…) to your collection and make sure you are on-trend all summer long.

    We’ll be starting out with M Missoni’s Knitted Lurex Clutch. This disco-ready piece is all you need to make it through parties, festivals and holidays in serious style. Wear with dark denim, a slinky dress or some smart tailoring to finish off your ‘70s style.

    Have you invested in a new 9 to 5 wardrobe, which you’ve packed full of chic midi skirts, culottes and sleek silk shirts? Then you’ll need the Two Tone Strap Detail Tote by See by Chloé to finish off your shiny new look. A great way to update a trusty black tote, this navy and white version is bang on trend for the new season.

    Don’t forget off-duty: You still want to look stylish, even if you’re only popping to the shops. We think this See by Chloé Lizzie Leather Flap Over Satchel is just the right side of casual to work at weekends and on holidays. Wear with bohemian tops in white lace or paisley print with your trusty flares and flatforms or Converse.
