How to Choose the Right Bag that is perfect for Your Needs
When shopping for women’s handbags, there are a host of options to pick from, suitable for many different lifestyles and optic preferences. Following information and tips can help you pick between an array of handbag options including quilted, saddle and hobo bags:
Consider your body structure and shape:
Most don’t give handbags the same scrutiny as they do to, say a pair of jeans, correct? If a handbag is chic, looks goodd or works with your lifestyle, then one goes with it. Well, not scrutinizing handbag with your body shape and structure, can hurt how you look. You may not be aware that a handbag can flatter your shape almost as much as the right kind and style of pair of jeans.
It may be amusing but it is not. You should always find a bag that’s in proportion to your figure. It can not only knock off pounds visually (we are not kidding, try for yourself !), it’ll also polish up your style and image in a jiffy. You better that Handbag Shapes vs. Body Shapes go hand in hand. If you are trying to play down a body type, choose a shape that is the opposite of your body silhouette. For example, if you are very tall and thin, you can add a slouchy, rounded hobo bag to add some curves to your figure. If you’re short and curvy, play off opposites by choosing a handbag that is tall and rectangular or long and sleek (like clutch).
In general, the rounder your figure, the more structured your bag should be. That doesn’t mean that you have to carry a hard box around to counterbalance your womanly shape: rectangular or square silhouettes in soft leathers or fabrics will do the trick.
- For a petite, curvy figure (like Kim Kardashian or Adele) would likely look great carrying a large rectangular clutch bag.
- A shoulder bag that ends around the hips will play up your hip width (the eye is drawn to the bag). Most women would look great with a bag that hits mid-torso because it flatters the waist.
- Crossbody bags are difficult to carry off for busty women because the strap cuts right across the bust line.
Consider Bag Varieties:
You need to assess if a type of bag style will suit your needs. For example, if you carry quite a few items to and from work or school, a crossbody bag could be a comfortable choice. However, if you only need a small wristlet or clutch, it will save you time to tailor your search to smaller bag options only.
Compartments: While a simple tote fulfills many shopping needs when selecting a purse, it pays to consider if a bag with multiple compartments would be helpful. For those fearful of losing their keys or phone, having a bag with designated sections for such belongings can bring peace of mind.
What are Some of the Handbag and Tote Colors Available?
Here are some tips to help you select a colorful handbag or tote:
Jewel Tones: Many designer and less well-known brands produce jewel tone accessories. Jewel tones are a good option as they tend to stay in style more frequently than pastel and neon shades. For example, Marc by Marc Jacobs is just one of the designer brands that frequently releases bags in colors like emerald, sapphire and ruby.
Colorful Patterns: If you find it difficult to pick just one color for your handbag, you might like to choose an embellished, patterned nylon tote. For example, bright florals and dots are cheerful options.
Material Type: Leather, Fabric or PVC etc . The fabric type of the wristlet or other type of bag will influence what cleaning approach is most suitable. For example, if you purchase a leather Marc shoulder bag, recruit saddle bag, pebbled Natasha bag, or a mini boho grind leather crossbody bag, you would want to follow instructions for cleaning leather carefully.
Consider lifestyle Keep lifestyle in mind, when shopping for handbags. For example, while a messenger may be perfect for those always on the go, for others, a mini nylon color block satchel is ideal. Furthermore, if you’re toting diapers and graham crackers, an stylish chic vintage bag would likely not hold up.
Cleaning Needs: How Should You Clean Womens Bags? Choosing the right approach to cleaning can increase the lifespan of your accessories. Check Handbag Labels: Thoroughly check any included labels for tailored cleaning instructions. Be mindful of not being over zealous in cleaning. Rigorous cleaning can wear down fabrics like denim, leather, and nylon.
Be careful of Embellishments: Some shopper totes feature adornments, like sequins, fringing, and glitter. Be careful to avoid accidentally removing these embellishments.
Keep an Open Mind and look for alternatives Don’t be tempted by trendy shapes that don’t suit your figure. There are plenty of great alternatives that will work.
These are some of the things you should always be mindful of when looking to select a type or style of handbag. If you do your due diligence, it will be hard to go wrong with the handbag you ultimately pick.
