TALL AND THIN
Choose handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they could make you look even taller. Choose handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a good choice.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, oversized hand bags aren't for small women. Large hand bags often overcome your frame. Avoid shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even smaller.
PLUS-SIZE
Pick a big structured or boxy bag to balance out 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.
EVERYONEIf you're splurging with an high-priced handbag, select one that you'll be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or more on the handbag that will rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you're getting several low-priced hand bags instead, choose one classic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
