Over the past year, handbags have quickly become the most
popular accessory on the market. There are thousands of styles
and designs to choose from, which makes it difficult to find the
perfect handbag. Many women are unsure of which types of
handbags work best with the shape of their bodies and end up
choosing styles which make them look large or out of proportion.
In order to help you choose the right type of purse for your
body type we have compiled a list of body types as well as which
kind of handbag is best suited for each type.
Choose the category which best reflects your body type:
Tall and Thin
If you are long and lean, you will be able to get away with
almost any form of handbag. Clutches, oversized handbags and
shoulder bags will suit you fantastically, but the size of the
bag needs to be considered. Oversized, large bags are going to
look best on you, whereas smaller ones are going to make you
look even taller than you already are. If you want to purchase a
smaller handbag, make sure it fits snugly under your shoulders.
Short and Plump
Shorter girls need to pay very careful attention to the types of
handbags they choose. Smaller bags tend to look best since
larger ones will overpower you and make you look even shorter.
Shorter purses (especially those which fit tightly against your
body) will create height and make you look taller than you
really are.
Curvy
If you're lucky enough to have an hourglass figure you will want
to accentuate your waistline. In order to do this, you will need
to find a bag which hits just above the waist. This style and
length is going to be most flattering. Medium sized bags work
best to enhance your already gorgeous body type.
Plus Size
If you're plus size you will definitely want to stay away from
small bags, which tend to make you look bigger than you are.
Bags with short straps should also be avoided. Try a style which
is larger and slightly wider than normal sizes since they will
make you appear smaller.
The type of handbag you choose will not only depend on your body
type, but also on the outfit you're wearing and what you are
doing. Choose your handbags according to how you feel that day
and what you think looks best on you. One handbag is never
enough, so make sure you have a number to choose from. You
wouldn't wear the same pair of shoes everyday, so why carry the
same handbag?
