When shopping for a new handbag this season, cosider your body type. Not all handbag is fantastic for all women. Remember these instructions to chose the perfect handbag for yourself.
Generally speaking 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 just like you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.

TALL AND THIN
Select handbags with a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they makes you look even taller. Select handbags which can be wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent choice.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, big hand bags aren't for small women. Large bags often bombard 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 out your curves. Don't have a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, stay away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEIf you're splurging on an expensive handbag, pick one that you may be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or more on a bag that will rarely make it out of your closet. When you are purchasing several low-priced bags instead, find one classic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, experiment with 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.
