The best way to pick and choose a right handbagsWhen looking for a completely new handbag this time, cosider your body type. Not every handbag is ideal for every woman. Follow these suggestions to choose the perfect handbag for you.

Women with handbag
TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they will make you look even taller. Select handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent option.
PETITE
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, large hand bags aren't for small ladies. Large hand bags usually bombard your frame. Keep away from shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even smaller.
PLUS-SIZESelect a big structured or boxy bag to balance out your curves. Don't carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you enjoy prints, keep away from tiny designs.
EVERYONEIf you're splurging on an high-priced handbag, pick one that you will be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or more on the handbag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you're buying several cheap hand bags instead, choose one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, try fun, funky styles and metallics for the other bags.
