As Vogue highlights, man clutches are actually a thing and such accessories do not have to
be generally attributed to women. Although backpacks and messenger bags are regarded as
more practical and convenient to carry around, man clutches are there to assist you on
daytime occasions or night outs where all that you really require are your car keys, phone,
and wallet.
In addition, man clutches or “man purses (murse)” as I’d like to call it, certainly
enhances an individual’s outfit, providing them a sharp and breezy vibe but still upholding
their professionalism. There are many types of man clutches nowadays that vary in style
and size and are well showcased by luxury brands. However, it is the “zip and go” principle
that makes these clutches a stand out amongst other man bags making them utilitarian for
almost any occasion. We have whipped up the most popular types of men’s clutches today
and their potential uses based on their style and size.
1. The “Basic Man Clutch”
This type of man clutch can be defined by its petite size and zipper for opening and closing.
Some are even designed with the zipper extending up to a side. Often, this man clutch can
be used if you need a run to the grocery store or simply because you don’t want to lose
anything if you’re going to a bar or a nightclub.

meeting or even to a bougie night out.
