If you're lucky, the holidays are a time of extravagance. Extravagant gifts for those you hold dear, extravagant meals with your family and holiday parties with friends and hopefully, extravagant outfits to wear while you do it all. Holiday dressing is always an opportunity to carry a bag that's a little bit more intricate and embellished than you might otherwise, and naturally, we have some suggestions for you.
For maximum versatility during non-holiday times, go for a metallic--something in silver or gold leather will serve you well at a variety of parties and events, no matter the season. If you went to go whole hog on the theme, though, choose lots of crystals and beading in seasonal colors, finished with some fur for maximum cold weather impact.
