Did You Know The Right Bag Can Actually Make You Look Thinner?

Read More And Find Out What Bag You Should Carry for Your Body Type?

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 handbag should be just as flattering as
your favorite pair of jeans.We tend to pick handbags 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. Suggestions, Coach Kristen Hobo bag and B. Makowsky North/South (N/S) styles.
• Short and Voluptuous – A tall and rectangular bag will work for you or a long and sleek clutch can also
  compliment your body type. Featured Valentino clutch 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. Suggestion, Beautiful People Rosaline. 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. Featured Dolce and Gabbana
  structured bag.
• Pear shaped – Choose a structured hard body purse or a rectangular bag. Suggestion, B. Makowsky Rockefeller bag.
• Large Busted – Your best bet are bags with longer shoulder straps. Close fitting handbags that rest under the arm will cramp the girls. Suggestion, Burberry Super Nova Messenger bag. Slim waist and want to show it off - Choose a bag that allows the bottom of the bag to stop at your waist. Suggestion, Karen Wilson black Fanciful Flock handbag. If you want to accentuate your cleavage – Choose a close fitting bag with shorter straps allowing it to lie right under your armpit. Suggestion, Coach Poppy OP Art Glam Tote.
• 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.
