No girl can be without a bag to carry her daily necessities, but this daily must have can also be your most daring accessory and really make an outfit work. If you are conscious of wearing too much colour, or being overly brave with the patterns used in your clothes, use your choice of bag to make a statement instead.

This season's must buy bag is the large clutch so if you invest in one special bag this spring, it's the star buy. The general rule of thumb is the bigger, the better, and there is plenty of choice on the high street.
