Welcome to Editorialist’s “Single Favorite Thing”—a series where our editors and stylists break down hero items that are working overtime in our closets.

For any rendezvous that continues late into the night, the only accessory you depend on more than the going-out shoe is, of course, the evening bag. It’s the trusty sidekick that carries you through fall galas and date nights with all of your evening necessities (keys, lip balms, vaccine cards, and the like) in tow. While practicality is key, the ideal evening purse is splashy enough to bring personality to your every look.

Team Editorialist’s favorites run the gamut. There are structured leather clutches intended for any of London’s dim cocktail lounges and metallic pouches for braving Manhattan’s bustling speakeasies. No matter which is more your scene, explore the best evening bags ahead—and, as you shop, consider syncing your purse with a pair of glitzy heels
