Choosing the right handbag

Before buying handbags, you should consider some points that will help you choose the one that will complement your body shape and your outfit. Remember not all purses fit every person’s appearance as well as outfit.

Handbags are very essential especially for women. If you opt to buy a handbag, you should understand that your appearance is at stake when it comes to showing off your handbag. Therefore before buying, you should consider some points that will help you choose the one that will complement your body shape and your outfit.

When you look for handbags, it is important to consider several factors that can help you choose the one that will balance with your appearance.

Chubby women:

It’s imperative to select a bag which compliments the look. Choose bags which are bigger in size; boxy style bags are ideal, as these bags compliment the body structure of chubby women. Small bags don’t work with body structure of chubby women. Huge bags with small designs are perfect in case of chubby women.

Petite women:

Petite women can select bags which are of medium length. In case of petite women, large bags aren’t suitable. Large bags can cover the body structure; as a result it can affect the appearance. It’s best to avoid bags with large straps, as they too can look bad in case of body structure. If you need to have a more handbag space, a tote style or long clutch is perfect. A low slung tote with long shoulder handle can add height to short or small person’s appearance.

Taller women:

Taller woman can go for bags which are of wider width. Avoid small bags and tall bags, as it won’t go with the appearance and won’t compliment the appearance. In case of tall body structure, you can also select varied size of clutches, as they may compliment the look. Clutches can also be selected in case of formal and party occasions.

A tall, thin person can choose handbags with round shapes. They can choose large hobo or slouch style bags.

Curvy women : If your body is more curvy, it is more appropriate to choose a handbag with a shape that contrast with your body type. For curvy body, you should pick a sleek shape to make a contrasting appeal between you and your handbag.

A pear shaped women: can call attention to her shape with a round handbag while it should be a rectangular medium sized structured bag.

A round shaped short women: should choose a longer hand clutch with structure or a long handled tall tote that hung from the shoulder.

Choosing a bag to suit your outfit:

If your dress is one colour, spice it up by choosing a handbag that matches the accessories you're wearing. For example if you're wearing silver shoes and jewellery try a silver bag.

If you're wearing patterns or prints, then always carry a handbag that is a solid colour (choose one of the colours in the pattern).

Have a nice day
