When looking for a completely new handbag this time, think about your body type. Not every handbag is ideal for every woman. Follow these tips to chose the perfect handbag to suit your needs.In general when it comes to handbags, the opposite shape of your body type is the most flattering. When you go shopping, go 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
Choose handbags with a short, slouchy shape such as hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they makes you look even taller. Choose handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is an excellent option.
PETITE
Despite what you see in Hollywood, large bags aren't for small ladies. Large hand bags often overcome your frame. Keep away from 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 like prints, steer clear of tiny patterns.
EVERYONEIf you're splurging with an high-priced bag, make a choice that you'll be able to wear often. You don't need to spend $500 or more on a handbag that may rarely allow it to be out of your closet. If you're getting several inexpensive bags instead, find one basic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, try out fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.
