TALL AND THIN
Pick 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. Select handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent option.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, large bags aren't for small girls. Large hand bags often overcome your frame. Avoid shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even smaller.
PLUS-SIZE
Pick 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, stay away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you are splurging upon an high-priced handbag, choose one that you'll be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or more on a handbag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you are getting several cheap bags instead, pick one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
