Female with handbags
TALL AND THIN
Choose handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they can make you look even taller. Pick handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great choice.
PETITE
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, large hand bags aren't for small girls. Big hand bags tend to bombard your frame. Steer clear of shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even shorter.
PLUS-SIZESelect a large structured or boxy bag to balance your curves. Don't use a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, stay away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging on an high-priced bag, pick one that you'll be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or more on a handbag that will rarely make it out of your closet. When you are purchasing several low-priced hand bags instead, select one classic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
