Female with bag
TALL AND THIN
Pick handbags by using 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 good option.
PETITE
In spite of what you see in Hollywood, oversized bags aren't for small girls. Big bags usually 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 big 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 like prints, stay away from tiny designs.
EVERYONE
If you are splurging with an high-priced bag, pick one that you will be able to wear often. There's no need to spend $500 or higher on the bag that will rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you're buying several cheap bags instead, pick one basic everyday bag in brown or black. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other hand bags.
