TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they can make you look even taller. Choose handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great option.
PETITE
Regardless of what you see in Hollywood, oversized hand bags aren't for small women. Big hand bags often overwhelm 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 your curves. Don't carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, steer clear of tiny styles.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging upon an high-priced handbag, make a choice you are able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or even more on the bag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you are buying several inexpensive bags instead, choose one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand bags.
