by carnaval on Dec.14, 2009, under Fashion Shoes
These days there are literally hundreds of handbag styles to choose from. As a consumer, where do you actually begin? Do you follow the fashion experts? Does the latest IT handbag) necessarily mean you must have that bag this season? Do you select one that will compliment your body shape and clothes you’re wearing? Or do you choose quality with an affordable price tag? Obviously YES for all of the above. But there are also other factors to consider too. Choosing a handbag is just as important as choosing clothes. Where your handbag rests will actually draw the most attention. If someone is dressed up, the first thing that others notice will be accessorices, most likely your handbag. A handbag can actually make or break your look. The two most important things to consider when choosing the right handbag for your body type is size and shape. That choice is a lot more difficult for tiny and shorter ladies. Small and classic handbags generally work best. Focus on smaller handbags) that fit tightly and comfortably underneath your shoulder. It’s all about proportion. They work perfectly with figure proportions and add length to the body and arms. More defined round shapes, such as the gaucho & silverado styles, work too. Another perfect alternative is a clutch or a purse). They are versatile during the day and can carry all your necessities at night. Go for different colours and styles. Also consider the handles and their positioning. The handle drop should not have too much. A handbag that sits below your hips will make you appear shorter. If you need a sling/messenger bag, be sure the shoulder strap is adjustable and let the bag rest near your hips and no lower. Avoid oversized, bulky bags unless you need an overnight or weekender. Big sizes will definitely not be flattering for your shape. For tall ladies, some handbag styles may not work. If you are tall, rectangular and square structured shapes will work well for you, such as motorcycle and paddington styles. Lately, oversized handbags are the latest fad. Fashion loves the oversized trend in handbags and clothing. What’s the best tip? Consider a bag that’s not way oversized. Do not go too over the top. Select box type or rectangular shapes. The biggest mistake that many women make with these styles is functionality. Don’t make the mistake of carrying an empy oversized bag. Oversized bags will look empty with just your wallet and keys inside. Use these type of bags as a shopper tote. Now, that’s simply easy. In addition, never allow an oversized handbag sit pass your waist. Choose straps that are adjustable. Not only will the bag look better, but its weight won’t put pressure on your lower back. It’s important for you to move comfortably and easily. Let the handbag speak for itself. Do the inside compartments hold all your necessary essentials? Or do you like the style and its overall look? In the end, you have to be happy. After all, a handbag should be your best fashion accessory.
