Ways to select the right handbagsWhen buying a completely new handbag this time, think about your body type. Not all handbag is ideal for all women. Follow these suggestions to discover the perfect handbag for yourself.
Generally speaking 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 as you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.

TALL AND THIN
Choose handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as 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
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, oversized hand bags aren't for small ladies. Large hand bags often 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 your curves. Don't use a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, stay away from tiny designs.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging with an high-priced handbag, make a choice that you may be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or higher on a bag which will rarely make it out of your closet. When you are getting several low-priced hand bags instead, select one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for the other bags.
If you aren't sure about the different types of purses and bags, on the next page are some general guidelines to help you along the way.
