When looking for the latest handbag this time, cosider your body type. Not all handbag is ideal for each woman. Follow these suggestions to choose the perfect handbag for yourself.

Woman with handbag
TALL AND THIN
Select 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 choice.
PETITE
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, oversized bags aren't for small girls. Large bags usually bombard 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 out your curves. Don't have a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you enjoy prints, stay away from tiny patterns.
EVERYONE
If you are splurging with an high-priced handbag, select one you are able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or more on the bag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you are buying several low-priced hand bags instead, choose one classic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, try fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
