I'm in the middle of searching for my next vuitton purse and this got me thinking...

I basically wear whichever purse that matches my outfit when I go out. Like many of you, I live in my jeans and capris anyway ;) so anything goes.


BUT - when it comes to matching my purse with my work clothes, I want to know what you ladies do. Do you match your purse with your work clothes?


I wear a lot of black for work, and I mean a lot. I wear a lot of solid color suits, in navy, grey, black, occasionally tan, pinstripe... you get the idea.:shame:

I work in a conservative field and I tend to wear my ONLY monogram purse when I'm wearing solid, black suits. I love my epi because it is understated yet formal - it goes with almost anything I wear!


So what about you? Do you match your purse with what you wear for work? Do you do the color matching thing? What purse do you pair with what? :smile:

Spill! ;)

Yes, I match my bag to my outfits. I try my best but sometiomes if I'm in a hurry I don't.

Also when I get a new bag I tend to carry it everyday until the new-ness wears off. I've been carrying my Damier Duomo everyday mathing or no matching.



Damier goes REALLY well with black. You can't go wrong w. a Damier if you wear black everyday. Its sharp and pulled together. Also it not as in-your-face as monogram:yes:

I don't match bags to outfits...well, not usually. Once in a while I will decide what to wear based on which bag I want to carry, or I'll match if I'm going out somewhere special.

For work, I wear business-casual or casual. I don't have to wear suits any more (thank goodness!), but will sometimes wear nice trousers and a jacket. I agree with Iluvbags - Damier goes with everything!

Iluvbags, I do the same with my new bags too. Whenever I get a new vuittion, I'm constantly thinking about my next opportunity to wear it (I still match my bag with my outfit though...so I try to work my outfit around the purse ;) )

hippiechic - I agree. I broken into my damier purse right away and I was surprised how well it goes with black!! :yes:

I don't often match my bags with my clothes, but I do with my shoes, I always try to buy bags that compliment the shoes I already have.
Match for me is wearing the same color bag and clothes, I prefer to wear a bag that compliment my outfit, perhaps..if I wear black suit I like to have a red or colorful bag to makes my outfit a little more fun, and when I wear colorful outfits I often go for neutral color bags.

I carry all of my LVs to work, whether I'm in jeans and a t-shirt or an interview suit.

I agree with the other posts about Damier...it's SO amazingly elegant but works with dark denim too. I carried my Saleya PM to an interview when I wanted to rock a great bag but not announce "LV" to the world.

I too wear lots of dark colors, mostly grey and black in the F/W and I think LV goes with just about anything, especially black. So chic!

i wear mostly black too. i normally will carry a black handbag--on a daily basis. the only exception is my louis vuitton signature bag. i know it doesn't match, but does it matter????? lv signature is such a classic design-i would carry it with anything.

The black alma is so elegant! :love:

I favor smaller shoulder bags because I really don't have much to put in my purse besides my keys, wallet and phone:Push: !!

I'm going to try that. I don't have too many colorful bags suitable for work, yet. ;)

Pursegrrl - I do think monogram works great with black, surprisingly though. :heart:
