When looking for a new handbag this time, think about your body type. Not all handbag is ideal for all women. Remember these instructions to discover the perfect handbag for you.In most cases when it comes to handbags, the opposite shape of your body type is the most flattering. When you shop, head to the dressing room, carry the bag just like you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.
Women with handbags
TALL AND THIN
Pick 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. Choose handbags which can be wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great option.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, large bags aren't for small girls. 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 shorter.
PLUS-SIZE
Pick 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, keep away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEIf you're splurging on an high-priced handbag, choose one that you may be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or higher on the handbag which will rarely make it out of your closet. When you are getting several inexpensive hand bags instead, select one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand bags.
