TALL AND THIN
Select handbags by using a short, slouchy shape such as the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they makes you look even taller. Pick handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a good choice.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, big bags aren't for small girls. Big hand bags tend to overcome 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 large structured or boxy bag to balance your curves. Don't have a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you like prints, stay away from tiny styles.
EVERYONE
If you are splurging upon an high-priced bag, pick one that you will be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or even more on a handbag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you're purchasing several low-priced hand bags instead, pick one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for the other hand bags.
