GET A HANDLE ON CHOOSING HANDBAGS
Handbags are essential accessory items. The right or wrong
handbag can either make or break the perfect outfit.
Choose a handbag that fits your figure and your pocketbooks.
Handbags come in different designs from funky to elegant to
casual.
Choosing a bag is like selecting a great pair of jeans. It
should fit your body type and style. The shape of the bag
shouldn't match your figure instead choose one just the
opposite. For example, if you are tall and thin select a bigger
bag. The rounder your figure, the more structured your bag
should be. Rectangular or square silhouettes are great bags.
The size of the bag should also be in proportion to your figure.
A petite woman should not carry an enormous slouchy bag. The bag
is too overwhelming for her body type. A woman who is 6 feet
tall would look strange carrying a delicate hand-held bag.
Close fitting bag are great for showing off cleavage. If you
have large arms or bust then skip these bags.
Don't' be afraid to try a bag on at the store. Get a feel for
how it sits and looks. Is it comfortable? Does it feel cramped
under your arm?
Most women look great with a bag at mid-torso. This helps to
flatter the waist.
When going out with friends, choose a fun bag that reflects your
personality.
Don't be tempted to by trendy bag that don't suit you figure or
style. There are plenty of alternative that will work for you.
Know the difference between a fake and a lookalike. A fake is a
knockoff with fake logos. A lookalike is a piece that is
inspired by the original.
