1. Define your personal style
Knowing yourself is fundamental in many areas of life, especially when it comes to fashion and style, as everything you wear will be a reflection of your personality. If you have doubts about what yours could be, here we explain the most common styles in terms of women’s fashion:
- Classic: Characterized by timeless elegance. Women with a classic style prefer simple garments, neutral colors, and subtle patterns. They focus on the quality of the garments and accessories, seeking pieces that endure over time without going out of style. The Birkin and Kelly bags, in neutral colors, would be excellent options for you if you identify with this style.
- Modern: Women with a modern style lean towards current trends, opting for garments and accessories at the forefront of fashion.
- Bohemian: Inspired by freedom and the influence of various cultures, the bohemian style combines ethnic, vintage, and hippie elements. If you lean towards this style, the Hermès Evelyne bag is for you.
- Glamorous: This style focuses on sophistication and allure, with a touch of drama, and accessories are key, always seeking pieces that add a touch of sparkle and elegance. A great option is the Hermès Kelly bag in black color in exotic crocodile leather.
- Casual: This style leans towards comfort and functionality, but without sacrificing aesthetics. Despite its practical focus, women with this personal style know how to combine these pieces to create polished and stylish outfits. The Constance bags are the perfect combination of elegance and practicality.
2. Choose colors according to your wardrobe
The color harmony between your Hermès bags and your wardrobe is key to getting the most out of them. By choosing a bag that complements the predominant colors in your closet, you facilitate its integration into different looks and ensure its use on multiple occasions.
Think about neutral tones, such as black, white, gray, or earthy tones, which guarantee almost universal compatibility, turning your investment in a Hermès bag into a treasure trove of versatility for your personal style.
If your wardrobe leans towards brighter colors or follows a specific palette, selecting a bag that reflects or complements those colors can add a distinctive and cohesive touch to your appearance. The important thing is to choose consciously, ensuring that each Hermès bag not only stands out for its design but also for its ability to enhance and harmonize with your established style.
3. Use a bag suitable for the occasion
Hermès, with its diversity of models and sizes, offers a perfect piece for every moment, from daytime elegance to nighttime splendor. A larger Birkin Bag can be your ideal companion for a day at work or an afternoon of shopping, while a smaller-sized Kelly Bag becomes the jewel for an elegant dinner or a gala event. A Constance bag can be your ideal pairing for a casual day out with friends. Even within the same model, different sizes and designs cater to varied needs and occasions, making the choice of bag essential based on the event and the setting.
It will all depend on your preferences, but also on your outfits, so you need to have a Hermès bag collection with enough options to be able to dress up and down, enjoying their luxurious appearance and having fun pairing your outfits.
4. One is not enough
With a color palette ranging from the most sophisticated neutrals to the boldest vibrant tones, as well as size options in its most iconic models and a variety of skins and textures, Hermès invites you to explore the multiple facets of your personality, so you’ll always want to add one more bag to your collection.
Having just one Hermès bag is not recommended, as even if you buy a neutral toned bag, you will still need smaller sizes, different textures and a pop of color to match your outfits. We recommend owning at least one of each model, while also choosing neutral colors, and a touch of color, even one made on exotic skins, so you can always use your Hermès handbag as a statement of fashion and let it be the centerpiece of your style.

Maintaining a defined style is a sign of self-awareness, but exploring new horizons should never be seen as a misstep. Especially when it comes to accessories like handbags, venturing beyond your comfort zone not only enriches your wardrobe but also gives you a new perspective on how to complement your outfits, encouraging you to take calculated risks that reflect your evolution in the world of luxury fashion.
