Why is it we women will try on 100 pairs of jeans to find the perfect
pair? Because we want them to be the most flattering they can
be on our body type. Well your bag should be just as
flattering as your favorite pair of jeans.
We tend to pick bags that are adorably cute or have enough pockets
etc. Did you know that choosing the right bag can actually
visually shed pounds? Now that we have your attention here
are a few tips:
• Opposites Attract –
Try to pick styles that are opposite of your body frame. Tall and Thin
– A slouchy hobo bag, rounded bag or half moon shaped bags
will compliment your figure. Stick with long handles as short
handles can make you look even taller unless of course that is the look
you’re going for. Choose bags that are wider than they are
taller.
• Short and Voluptuous
– A tall and rectangular bag will work for you or a long and
sleek clutch can also compliment your body type.
• Petite – A tall
rectangular bag will work for you. Remember a long strap can
weigh you down and make you look even shorter. Shorter
handled bags are in your favor.
• Plus Size – Pick a
large structured or boxy bag to balance your curves. If you
carry bags that are too small they can make you look larger and the
opposite effect if you carry larger structured bags you will look
thinner.
• Pear shaped – Choose
a structured hard body purse or a rectangular bag such as a Kelly bag.
• Large Busted – Your
best bet are bags with longer shoulder straps. Close fitting
handbags that rest under the arm will cramp the girls.
• Slim waist and want to show it
off - Choose a bag that allows the bottom of the bag to stop at your
waist.
• If you want to accentuate your
cleavage – Choose a close fitting bag with shorter straps
allowing it to lie right under your armpit.
• Scale – Remember
scale is key to finding the right sized bag. A tall, big
boned (as mother used to say) person should not wear a tiny little bag
and a tiny, petite woman should not wear an enormous slouchy
bag.
• Accentuating the body
– When you put on a shoulder bag the bottom of the bag will
accentuate whatever part of the body it comes near. If it
hits your waist it will show your waist, if it ends at your butt it
will show your butt, hips.
• Everyone – It is
always safe to have a neutral everyday bag in black, brown or white
then why not experiment with fun, funky, colorful styles.
Choose leather with chunky hardware, material in bright patterns,
sequined fabrics, artsy vintage, the choices are non ending.
just have fun with your bag.
Hopefully those tips will help you find the perfect bag or
bags. Many women change their bag
daily. You might think that is a hassle but actually
it’s not. For instance if you carry a
coin
purse, make-up bag, wallet, pad of paper, pen, business card holder and
a cell phone, it takes
just seconds to transfer the items to a different bag. It is
just a matter of being organized.
Plus having all of your accessories in separate bags will keep the
inside of your bag looking
brand new. Another good reason to change your bag often is
women tend to use the purse like
a Wal-mart shopping cart and put much more into it than you actually
need. Women who
change their bag often tend to carry only items they need which will
lighten the load and help
prevent back pain.
If you like to draw attention carry a unique bag and it will be an
immediate conversation starter.
