Which bags looks better with the dress?

[Mirus’ Dream]

Which bag matches the dress better?

The one with the straight hardware or the one with the curved hardware? They also differ in the straps. The one with the curved hardware comes with a wide leather shoulder strap aside from the chain strap.

Thank you!

Curved hardware

Both bags look overly formal with such a light casual airy dress imo

You could go either way, the straight hw works with the straight stripes, and the curved hw refs the scalloped hem.

First bag looks better with the pinstripes, imo.

You could go either way as the difference is so miniscule. I think a structured black bag is a bit harsh with a light colored shirt dress though. The one with the curved HW does offer two different styles so it's more flexible style wise.

Hi! I usually wear the dress with this pair of shoes. Does the bag still look too formal?

Hi! Thanks for your reply. It is a navy blue bag. With a navy blue, does it look better?

I also pair it with this shoe which is kind of structured.

Hi, appreciate you all for voting and commenting. I have received comments that the bag is too structured and formal for an airy dress.

I usually wear this pair of shoes with the dress. Im just trying to find a bag that goes well with them.

The actual look of the dress is slighly less airy than the one in the photo. It is thicker and a bit more structured in actual.

With these, does the bag matches them better? Thank you!

I think the shoes help give some structure for sure but I still find the bag a bit formal for the dress. But it could be a nice contrast; have you managed to try them on together?

No, I haven’t. I only have the dress and shoes here. I have to buy the strathberry bag online.

The bag color will match way better if it's navy.
The shoes are right on the money.
The nature of the bag is very formal and for me, a shirt dress is at the other end of the spectrum.
I have a similar shirt dress in a thin cotton fabric and my favorite to carry with it is my Decadent brand Kylie bag which is basically a Hermès Evelyne lookalike.
However. This is something _you_ will wear and since there are no rules to fashion or style, you are free to interpret the way you want to.
Is there a shop or a department store near you where you could go and try out a similar structured bag with the outfit? That will give you an idea of how the real thing will go with your dress.
