A reticule, a vanity, a purse, a clatch, a pochette – what to choose is frequently not that easy to figure out. But even when you finally decided on the right one, or all of them together, there appears another concern: how to choose your match? Of course, if your interlaced-chain quilted clutch fits your little black dress, it is wonderful. But are you sure a true Coco style is yours? Does it really fit you? Perhaps, you need to get a better look at your handbag. How to do this, find out below.
Style: no heal-all solutions
If you dream of buying a universal handbag to fit your every attire, the world`s fashion industry may seriously disappoint you, as there is no such handbag on the globe that would be apt for absolutely any clothes. It is a mistake to think that any black-colored bag can become such a miracle. Yes, black is universal, but mind every black bag has other qualities like shape, size, design, decoration etc., which automatically removes it from the list of universals. So, you will not escape the necessity to match your every handbag with your every attire. Combine formal and casual styles – this is not forbidden by today`s fashion trends ruling the globe`s catwalks. Be careful with colors choosing more restrained tints for business meetings (like beige, pastel, light grey) and less official for your pastime (any color of the rainbow). Again, mind the profile of your business: if you are a creative mind mingling with the same fellows, then the rainbow-colored handbags will be a perfect match everytime.
Size: analyze your appearance
Most women typically think the bag size is solely a matter of the fashion trend in place: one should buy a big handbag when big ones are on trend, and, vice versa, small handbags should enrich one`s wardrobe when they become trendy. However, the truth is so that the size of your handbag should be harmonized with your height and constitution. Thus, tall women should choose average to big-sized bags, while petite ladies will look awkward with such handbags – small bags are certainly their type, since they are excellently balanced with the posture of the kind. As well, corpulent women should give up small and especially too small bags, which make them ridiculous.
Obviously, those are just a few criteria for choosing the right bag. Don`t forget to pay attention to the bag`s quality (appearance, zippers, handles, pockets etc.) or estimate the material (not necessarily all made of leather, since leather is an expensive material which is, though always trendy, cannot always be as rational, when you buy a dozen bags, for example, or tend to change your bags very often). At any rate, don`t follow the fashion trends automatically, but rather try to make your own image.
