Some tips: 1. Dark-coloured and heavy handbags will overwhelm a delicate, floaty outfit. Choose a funky, lighter coloured bag to go with an elegant, light outfit. |  |
2. Always choose a handbag that complements your outfit. It's not necessary to match the handbag with your shoes.
3. Don't lug around an overstuffed bag. This will only benefit your chiropractor.
4. According to Trinny and Susannah of the television show "What Not To Wear" (BBC), your ideal bag collection should consist of: * A day bag in brown: to be worn with all colours apart from black. * A day bag in black: only with a black, taupe, white or gray coloured outfit. * A funky (fabric) bag (with beads or flowers) * An evening bag: match it up with your jewellery. * A beach bag * A small purse/wallet for those little necessities. 5. Are you short and slender? Small bags worn close to the body will suit you best.
6. Do you have beautiful, well-rounded hips? Choose a shoulder bag with short straps. Your hips are perfect the way they are. No need to make them bigger by hanging a bag on them.
7. Think about your lifestyle when shopping for a bag: do you always carry around half your belongings? Then don't opt for a small purse in a delicate fabric. It will just not hold up.
