Women with bag
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 can be wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent choice.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, large hand bags aren't for small women. Big bags tend to bombard your frame. Avoid 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 carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you like prints, keep away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you are splurging on an high-priced bag, make a choice that you'll be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or higher on a handbag that may rarely make it out of your closet. If you're buying several cheap hand bags instead, choose one basic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, try fun, funky styles and metallics for the other bags.
