Top, Aldo clutch. Bottom, J. Furmani clutch.

With the holiday party season well under way, it’s time to start putting together outfits.  The perfect accessory to pair with those killer high heels is a metallic clutch.  A metallic clutch will add just the right amount of sparkle and shimmer to your outfit.  The small size of the bag will help you maintain proper posture while meeting and greeting at parties.

These five picks under $30 will let you pick out a few metallic shades without breaking the bank. You should try to have at least one silver and one gold.

Wear some patent heels for some extra shine without overdoing the sparkle.
