When shopping for the latest handbag this time, think about your body type. Not every handbag is perfect for each lady. Follow these suggestions to chose the perfect handbag for yourself.In general when it comes to handbags, the opposite shape of your body type is one of flattering. When you go shopping, head to the dressing room, carry the bag just like you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.
Women with handbag
TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they makes you look even taller. Pick handbags which are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a great option.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, oversized hand bags aren't for small girls. Large bags usually overwhelm your frame. Steer clear of shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even smaller.
PLUS-SIZE
Pick a big 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 enjoy prints, steer clear of tiny designs.
EVERYONEWhen you're splurging with an expensive bag, pick one you are able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or more on a bag that will rarely allow it to be out of your closet. When you are getting several low-priced bags instead, find one classic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
