When looking for a new handbag this time, think about your body type. Not all handbag is ideal for all women. Follow these tips to find the perfect handbag to suit your needs.

Women with bag
TALL AND THIN
Select handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as 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 an excellent choice.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, big hand bags aren't for small women. Big bags usually overcome your frame. Avoid 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 have a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, stay away from tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging upon an expensive handbag, select one you are able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or higher on a bag that will rarely make it out of your closet. If you are getting several inexpensive bags instead, pick one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for the other hand bags.
