Lady with handbag
TALL AND THIN
Select handbags with a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they could make you look even taller. Pick handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a good choice.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, big hand bags aren't for small ladies. Large hand bags tend to overwhelm 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 out your curves. Don't carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you enjoy prints, keep away from tiny designs.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging upon an high-priced handbag, pick one that you'll be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or higher on the bag which will rarely allow it to be out of your closet. When you are getting several low-priced hand bags instead, find one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand bags.
