There are so many handbags on offer, how to select the one that
would complement your figure and go with most of your outfits?
See fashion expert tips.
What purse style would work best with your figure?
Never mind the current fashion: your handbag should first of all
complement your figure. A tiny purse on a largish woman looks a
bit silly. But even though large bags are in fashion now, don’t
go overboard, otherwise the bag will distract attention from
your person. See examples of how to match purs
es to your figure.
If you are slim and tall, go for a round or square shaped purse.
If you are not very tall, a bottle shaped handbag would look
best. And, of course, a not very large backpack works perfectly
for any figure.
Most handbags have adjustable handles, so make use of them.
Large bags should never hang at the level of your hips: if
necessary shorten the handle, so the bag comes to your waist
line. And if you wear a backpack, it should not hang down over
your backside: adjust the handles so it is just above your
waist. This looks better, doesn’t put as much pressure on your
lower back, and forces you to keep a good posture.
What color should you choose?
These days handbags are very colorful. Of course, this means
that you can no longer have just one bag that would go with any
outfit you wear. However, if you wear a lot of blue, orange or
green, a matching color purse would make your outfit complete.
Fruit prints are currently ‘in’, with the most popular being
cherries, peaches and apples.
As far as prints go, a plain, one-color handbag is more
practical as it is easier to match with your clothes. However,
if you wear a single-colored dress, adding a bright,
multicolored handbag might be a good idea.
Also each season of the year favors different handbag colors.
All greens are very popular in spring, while red and orange are
often seen in autumn. Winter favorites are white and all shades
of blue.
And, of course, black is still a classic, which goes with any
outfit. Brown handbags, too, are still popular although they are
not very practical: a brown bag would only work with brown or
beige clothing.
What are most fashionable purse materials?
Leather is always a classic, and it works for any situation and
with any outfit. However, other purse materials are fashionable
now. Fabric bags can look very stylish, as well as a mix of
fabric and leather. Straw bags are simple, and create a great
look for the summer. Moreover, since straw looks very natural,
it works well with a summer outfit of any color.
