When you are looking to select a designer handbag that will be flattering to carry – think in opposites. If you are thin then a plump, short bag will look good. If you are short the select a long bag. The size of the bag should be proportional to your own figure. The most universally flattering bag will hang around the middle of your torso.

There are basic tips to remember when selecting the shape of a handbag is your body shape:

Pear shapes look best with a sleek rectangular bag or a structured cigar box shape.

Large busted girls should avoid close-fitting bags that rest under the arm. Full figured girls should select a bag with long shoulder straps.

If you are round and short then select a rectangular, tall bag with long straps or a sleek, long, structured clutch.

Petite’s should steer clear from very large bags and should look for a long clutch or a rectangular bag that hits the leg to give an elongated appearance.

Tall and thin ladies look great with a slouchy hobo bag, half-moon shaped purse or a rounded bag.

If you have a slim waist choose a bag with shoulder straps that will let the bottom of the bag hit right at your waist.

Avoid small, cute, and mini handheld bags if you are six feet tall or taller.

If you wish to accentuate your cleavage carry a bag that lies in you armpit.

Once you know the styles that suit your body shape, what types of bags do you take to certain events or occasions?

If you are going on a job interview or business function and need to carry a resume, portfolio, reference letter, business cards, etc. you should select a bag that protects these items and still showcases your sense of style. You may opt not to carry a purse but only a stylish briefcase. Whichever you choose should be functional with storage for your phone, pens and papers. Be sure to know where everything is so as to appear organized. Coordinate the bag to your shoes and outfit.

For an evening out you could carry anything from a sleek clutch to a drawstring sack. Choose a bag that will hold your keys, phone, lipstick, ID and money. Be sure that the bag compliments your outfit. Consider your bag for and evening event as another piece of jewelry.

On vacation you need a bag that will accommodate your traveler’s checks, passport, money, ID, and room keys. Be sure the bag you select has secure straps and closures.

For the office you can find a over-the-shoulder leather case that will carry your laptop if needed. Look for a bag that has expandable compartments and outside storage for convenience.

The best rule to remember is to consider what you need to carry and then choose and appropriate bag for your needs. With all the designer styles that are available you can find a bag that suits your needs and is flattering to your figure!
