With all the wedding and anniversary parties filling up your schedule this season, a black evening bag is a must-have staple for the perfect complement to your favorite LBD. Do you save or splurge on a black evening bag? The choice is yours.

Splurge: The Viktor & Rolf black evening bag. Showcasing a great mix of lightweight silk and heavy duty chains, this black evening bag is black, bad, and bold. At $540.00, this black evening bag is a definite budget buster.

Save: The J. Furmani black evening bag is one to love. Simple , yet sure to go with most of your evening wear, this black evening bag features the baguette sihouette and a bold metal circle design at front and center for visual interest. At only $28.00, this black evening bag is a steal.

Middle Ground: The Lauren Merkin Eve black evening bag. In luxurious croc-embossed patent leather, this black evening bag features a pleated silhouette with signature striped lining. At $188.00, this black evening bag is priced affordably for such a style-licious piece.

The elasticized back strap make for a comfier dress pump and these slingbacks are easy to slip on with anything!
