TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as 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 a great option.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, oversized bags aren't for small women. Big hand bags tend to overwhelm your frame. Steer clear of shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even shorter.
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 like prints, keep away from tiny patterns.
EVERYONEWhen you are splurging on an high-priced handbag, choose one that you'll be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or even more on the handbag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. When you are getting several low-priced hand bags instead, choose one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
