I’ve noticed a lot of women lately carrying medium-large totes (i.e. Neverfull, MK jetsetter, etc.) in the evening. I strongly associate that size and shape of bag with a work bag, etc. and I always find it strange to see women carrying a Neverfull at a restaurant in the evening, for example. I feel so strongly about this that I will plan ahead if I’m planning on meeting up for after work dinner/drinks and carry a smaller purse/clutch in my larger tote and switch; use a smaller satchel or shoulder bag (not a tote) that day for work; or utilize the detachable pouch that came with my Mansur Gavriel tote. It just strikes me as somewhat of a fashion faux pas to wear a large tote like that to dinner or to a theater performance, other evening event, etc.
Let’s talk about it: do you ever carry totes in the evening (after 6pm?) Have you noticed others doing this?Do you, like me, plan ahead and try not to? Am I crazy for doing this? What do you think about it?

. I wouldn't wear a neverfull to the opera house personally, but in London West End, I'll often see people dressed casually/smart casual as probably just come after work with friends etc. to watch plays/musicals. I'd probably (and I think have done) worn tote type bags there.
