When buying a completely new handbag this time, think about your body type. Not every handbag is perfect for every woman. Follow these suggestions to chose the perfect handbag for yourself.In most cases when it comes to handbags, the opposite shape of your body type is one of flattering. When you go shopping, go to the dressing room, carry the bag as you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.
Women with handbag
TALL AND THIN
Select handbags by using 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 which can be wider than they are tall. A clutch is a good choice.
PETITE
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, big bags aren't for small girls. Large bags tend to overwhelm your frame. Keep away from shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even smaller.
PLUS-SIZE
Pick 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 designs.
EVERYONE
If you are splurging with an expensive bag, make a choice you are able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or more on the handbag that may rarely make it out of your closet. If you're buying several low-priced bags instead, find one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand bags.
If you aren't sure about the different types of purses and bags, on the next page are some general guidelines to help you along the way.
