Women with bag
TALL AND THIN
Select handbags by using a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they makes you look even taller. Choose handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great choice.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, large hand bags aren't for small ladies. Big bags often overcome 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 big 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 love prints, keep away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you are splurging with an high-priced bag, choose one that you will be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or even more on a bag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you are purchasing several cheap hand bags instead, pick one classic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
