Choosing the right handbag

A women’s personality is determined by her dressing sense and the way she carries herself. Along with the dresses, the things that complete her look are the accessories she picks. It is not an easy task for you to keep a check on your make up or jewelry every time you step out of your house. You might be hurrying to work early in the morning, and then who cares about earrings or eyeliner that much. But handbags are essential for every woman to carry her world with her wherever she goes. Things that she can’t afford to leave behind at home and don’t have sufficient pockets on her dress to stuff them in unlike men. It doesn’t take more than 15 seconds to grab the handbag matching with your outfit that day which defines your personality. So, the main task comes to buy the handbag that suits your body type. So here are some tips you have to keep in mind while shopping for the right handbag. Apply these easy steps to getting bag in proportion to your figure and it will polish up your style in a flash.

Choosing the shape

Try to choose a shape that is the opposite of your body type. If you are tall and thin, look for slouchy, rounded hobo bag to compliment your figure. If you are short the play off opposites by choosing a handbag that is tall and rectangular or long and sleek (like a clutch). In general, the rounder your figure, the more structured your bag should be. That doesn’t mean that you have to carry a hard box that counterbalances your feminine look, instead rectangular or square silhouettes in soft leathers or fabrics with elegant look will do the job!

The scale

While the shape your handbag should counter-balance your body shape, the size of the bag should be in proportion to your figure. Like a tall woman will look lost with a small hand-held bag and a petite size zero woman will look overwhelmed by an enormous slouchy bag. Now, the bag length comes into play. A shoulder bag’s length (where the bottom of the bag hits your body) will accentuate whatever part of the body it comes near. Say like a shoulder bag that ends around the hips will play up your hip width just in case you want to enhance it. Most women look more graceful with a bag that hits mid-torso as it enhances the middle
part and flatters the waist.
Follow the above steps and take time to try on handbags in front of a mirror and don’t be tempted by trendy shapes that don’t suit your body and look for the other available options.
