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?
