how to choose bag to flatter your body shape

Bag is the accessory that adds fnishing touches to your look. It can make your outfit or completely break it. So be careful when choosing your next handbag as your goal is to accentuate your best areas while hiding the problem ones.

Bust. Women with big breasts and heavy shoulders should avoid bags with short handles as these usually finish right around the bust area. Choosing bags with longer handles you will distract attention from your bust and shoulders.

In case your aim is to boost the breast area visually short-handled bags or clutches will be perfect.

Waist and hips. Wide waist, large stomach and big hips can look less noticeable if you wear bags that finish right under your arm. Stay away from bags that go down to your midriff or hips, this will attract attention to your bulges. Big totes will look unflattering as well as bags with big funky details.

If you are lucky to have a slim waist, bag with handles of an average length will be a good option as well as a clutch. Modern clutch can be either tiny for evenings out or middle-sized to be roomy enough for all those items you always need to have with you.

Legs. Girls with long slim legs can wear bags with long handles and look great. Messenger type will work best. But ladies with short legs should choose classic shapes and sizes.

Frame. Women of larger frames should avoid tiny bags as they will look even bigger. You need well-tailored bags of average sizes. Choose from medium-large range. Clutches will be fantastic, but again choose oversized ones to keep proportion.

Tall and skinny girls can opt for broad and slouchy bags. Long bags will look unflattering.

Short women will want to look taller. This is easy to do if you select long and lanky bags that go in color harmony with your outfits. Stay away from wide oversized totes as they will make you look even shorter.
