There’s nothing like a date night to bring out the big-name luxury bags from your style arsenal. Should you carry with you an iconic Chanel Boy bag that conveys your personal style of timeless elegance? Or perhaps finish off your date night look with a red Stella McCartney Falabella faux shaggy bucket bag that speaks of your bohemian spirit? Do you need a large tote to carry all the “just in case” essentials? Or should you opt for the tried-and-true evening clutch bags to carry only the basics?   Meeting someone for date night—first dates, especially—is nerve-wracking. Ask any single lady and she’ll tell you it’s hard enough to get out of your comfort zone, but it’s even harder to make a first impression. Every single fashion choice you make—luxury handbags, included—could tell your date a lot about you, your lifestyle, your personality and your style philosophy.   So which date night luxury bag should you carry with you then? We’ve built a fashion edit for you around these 5 “it” luxury bags for date night to help you make that “she’s the one” impression.    

Your Personality: Polished Preppy Your “It” Bag

Chanel Boy Bag   Drop a not-so-subtle hint about your love of timeless elegance with a Chanel Boy bag. Choose a small-sized bag, if you can, so you don’t get tempted to bring too much of the non-essentials to a date night. Let your Chanel Boy bag be the focal point by keeping everything else basic, like wearing it with a clean white top and a pair of black Chanel bow platform pumps. But don’t scare your date away by looking too stiff and unapproachable. Instead, when choosing a Chanel handbag, pick a fun color, like plum in this crystal-embossed Chanel Boy bag, so your date knows you are elegant but unafraid to have a little bit of fun.    

Your Personality: Rocker Rebel Your “It” Bag

 Gucci Horsebit Clutch   With this Gucci clutch adorned with antique gold-tone studs, chains and horsebits, there’s no mistaking how much of a rebel you are. You like to live life to the fullest and it shows in your fashion choices, which is why you always add a little touch of edginess to your choice of handbags. For a “happy hour” date, pair it with an A-line tweed skirt and black gold-trimmed Yves Saint Laurent pumpsso your rocker personality can shine.    

Your Personality: Bohemian Chic Your “It” Bag

 Stella McCartney Falabella Crossbody   Were you a nomadic gypsy in your past life? Bring out your bohemian spirit to date nights with this red Stella McCartney fringe crossbody with silver-chain and leather stitching details. It’s the perfect mini bag when headed to a concert with your date or off to some evening on the dance floor. The red color is bold but easy enough to pair with a flowy printed dress, neutral top or a pair of Burberry multicolor tapestry lace-up booties.    

Your Personality: Risk-Taking Diva Your “It” Bag

 Michael Kors Python Crossbody   Impress your date with unmistakable confidence. This Michael Kors crossbody in exotic python leather suggests you are a risk-taker, unafraid to try new things, especially in your choice of fashion pieces. A handbag in animal print conveys your preference to standout and be different, a trait real men appreciate. Whether heading out to the bar or to a fancy dinner, it’s best to pair this bag with a neutral-colored skirt but add a style punch with edgy Salvatorre Ferragamo Gladiator Shyla heels.    

Your Personality: Girly Glam Your “It” Bag

 Louis Vuitton Multi-Color Shirley Bag   Are you a “girly girl” at heart? Showcase your feminine side with this Louis Vuitton Shirley bag, from the Multicolore line launched by Louis Vuitton in 2003 in collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The cheerful colors give this piece a neo-pop art vibe, making it the right bag for a weekend date at the park or to an art museum. It is a fun choice that conveys your girly side, while also flaunting your bubbly personality. To jazz it up for movie night, add a sparkly sequin top and nude peep-toe pumps by Christian Louboutin.   Are you ready to impress on date night? Which luxury bag spoke to you the most?
