TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags by using a short, slouchy shape such as the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they could make you look even taller. Select handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great option.
PETITE

PLUS-SIZEChoose a big 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, keep away from tiny patterns.
EVERYONEIf you're splurging with an high-priced bag, select one that you'll be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or even more on a bag which will rarely make it out of your closet. When you are buying several low-priced bags instead, find one basic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for the other bags.
