Choosing the right bag for your body!

Carrying a bag that is in proportion to your figure can literally take pounds off you. Be it designer or high-street, learn to choose the perfect bag for your body shape.

Big Busts and Big Shoulders

• Avoid carrying short-handled bags that finish around the bust area, as this only serves to accentuate your breasts and shoulders more. Go for a longer length finishing around your middle, or a clutch purse which is carried in your hand.

Wide Waist, Big Hips or Large Stomachs

• Choose a bag which finishes at the upper torso, just under the arm, rather than around your middle.

Large Frame

• Try to avoid carrying a tiny bag, as this only serve to make you look bigger. Choose a more tailored bag, which will give definition and go for a medium to large size.
  

Bony or Tall Frame

• Avoid long skinny-style bags. Counterbalance your figure with something broad, slouchy or unstructured such as a Hobo type.

Short Frame

• Go for something long and lanky to provide height such as a small saddle bag type. Avoid wide, oversized tote bags which will only make you look shorter.

If you want to flatter your waist then choose a bag that finishes around this part of your torso. If you want to draw attention to your bust, shoulders or neck then go for a short-handled tote bag type or an underarm clutch.
