Most women cannot leave the house without bringing a
purse or a handbag with them. After all, carrying a purse along is a convenient
way of lugging loose change, a cellphone, a compact, a comb, a lipstick, keys, a
vial of perfume, reading material, and all the other stuff that women cannot
leave home without.
However, as convenient as a handbag is in helping us
carry stuff around, what many women fail to realize is that a handbag or a
purse is a fashion accessory. So, because it is a fashion accessory, it should
work with the rest of the outfit.
One of the principles that you should be following when
picking out a purse to match your outfit is that large handbags go with amply
padded bodies, while small purses go with smaller bodies.
1. If you are a petite person, the type of purse that you
should be using is small. If you wear plus sizes, you should go for bigger
handbags. That is one of the basic principles that you should observe when
choosing a handbag.
2. So, which type of purse should go with which type of
curves? Going with the principle on size on choosing handbags, if you are short
with only a slight figure, you should go for a handbag that is small and is
something that you can hold close to your body. Never ever buy a big purse
because you will drown in it. Holding a big purse if your body is small would
make you look as if the purse is carrying you, and not the other way around.
3. If you are the tall and lanky type, with not much on
you in terms of curves, your challenge is to create the illusion of having a
curvy figure and to hide the straight leanness of your body. You can achieve
this by wearing a purse that is medium-sized and with a long shoulder strap
that will allow you to hold the purse close to your waist. Holding the purse
against the waist will make you seem that you have a slender waist that gently
slopes to your hips.
4. If your hips are wide and heavy, the handbag you need
is something that will draw the eyes away from your hips and lower body. The
perfect handbag for you is something with a shoulder strap that will allow the
handbag to hang just above your hips. In this way, anyone who looks at you will
have his or her eyes drawn to your upper body, rather than to your hips.
5. Girls with top-heavy figures, on the other hand, would
want to call attention away from their upper bodies. If your figure is top-heavy,
the handbag that you need is something that has long straps, something that you
can hold close to your hips. Remember to get a large purse to balance out your
top-heavy body.
Never ever use a small handbag if you have a plus size
figure. As we said above, toting a small purse will only call attention to your
size. Always go for a wide handbag that will lend a balanced look to your
figure.
6. If you have the perfect hourglass figure, with your
bust line in proportion to your hips and with a definite waist, you are to be
envied. You can lug along just about any type of purse or handbag there is.
Always remember that your purse or handbag is a fashion
accessory. You should make it work to balance out your figure.
