Women with bag
TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags with a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they could make you look even taller. Select handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a good option.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, big bags aren't for small ladies. Large bags usually bombard your frame. Avoid 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 your curves. Don't carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, steer clear of tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging upon an high-priced bag, make a choice you are able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or higher on a handbag which will rarely make it out of your closet. If you're purchasing several inexpensive bags instead, select one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand bags.
