When looking for a completely new handbag this time, cosider your body type. Not all handbag is fantastic for each woman. Follow these suggestions to get the perfect handbag to suit your needs.
Generally speaking when it comes to handbags, the opposite shape of your body type is the most flattering. When you go shopping, head to the dressing room, carry the bag as you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.
Lady with handbags
TALL AND THIN
Choose handbags by using a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they will make you look even taller. Pick handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great option.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, large bags aren't for small ladies. Big hand bags usually bombard 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 use a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you like prints, stay away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you are splurging upon an expensive handbag, make a choice that you will be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or higher on a handbag that will rarely allow it to be out of your closet. When you are getting several low-priced bags instead, pick one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand 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.
