Can Your Body Shape Match Your Bag
Sep 7th, 2008 by fashion reporter
Many things have been considered a girls’ best friend, but the truth is, it’s her bag. That strange bag that dangles from the shoulder or clutched under the arm carries our whole world in it.
Not only the everyday stuff like our keys, credit cards, change, make up, tampons and phone, but all the other stuff we need as well, that is totally personal, like that naughty chocolate bar.
We have many bags but there is always one or two that are our absolute favourites, the everyday ones that we feel really comfortable with and it doesn’t really matter if it has a fancy designer label on it.
The humble bag comes in so many bewildering ranges of styles, colours, and shapes, that it can be difficult to decide between them, and that is without taking into account if it has the right designer label. A classic like a Hermes or Feraragamo or maybe a little number from one of the exclusives like Anya Hindmarch or Cynthia Rowley can certainly add to the delight of carrying it, providing you can afford the price tag.
The problem is, if you really love a designer model but cannot afford it, do you get a cheap imitation or save up for an original? With the original, you should get years of wear out of it. whereas a cheap replica may only last one season before it needs replacing. There is also a security dimension, your average mugger will probably know the major brands and will be drawn to them because they think they will contain some high class valuables, especially if you are in a good part of town. It would be disastrous to be attacked for carrying a posh replica.
With so many shapes, sizes and styles, it is amazing just how many women will chose a handbag to match a pair of shoes, a new outfit, possibly even a new hat, yet they will rarely ever consider how the bag matches their own body. A poorly chosen bag can ruin your carefully chosen look so you need one that will flow with your body and not accentuate its flaws. Find out what handbag style matches your body and you can really improve your overall style.
