Choosing Handbags: Rules of the thumb

July 11th, 2009

This season demands a perfect combination and that needs you to change your views towards handbags. Now you need to consider your body type as well.

Opposites attract and it applies for choosing your handbag this season; if you are on the flabby side, a thin one shall compliment you the most. And, vice versa.

Those who are tall and thin, shift to the short, slouchy ones (like hobos). The general trend is going after short-strapped shoulder bags (can’t blame; they are very practical), which only make the tallness appear greater. Handbags more on the wider side do the opposite. Try it with clutches, since they don’t have handles and are relatively small, though capable of holding your keys, driving license, few essential cosmetics and if needed, a self-defense weapon. If you don’t find a regular clutch, try the oversized – they are same as the regular clutch but much larger.

The same ways the petite ones tend choosing oversized bags, which overwhelm their frames. So off with the shoulder bags with long straps (let them go to the plus-sized women; it shall balance out their curves), it’s tiny pattern handheld bags that shall suit you the most. 

But remember, for that classic everyday bag of yours, it’s black or brown that shall prove ideal and must be chosen according to what you carry regularly. Keep aside fun and funky, metallic styles in patent leather and sequins or crystals for your other bags that you’ll be using only on special occasions.
