TALL AND THIN
Choose handbags by using a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they will make you look even taller. Choose handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent option.
PETITE
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, oversized bags aren't for small women. Big hand 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-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 enjoy prints, steer clear of tiny styles.
EVERYONE
If you are splurging upon an high-priced bag, pick one that you'll be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or even more on the bag that will rarely make it out of your closet. If you're getting several low-priced bags instead, find one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for the other bags.
