How you express your flair through a certain accessory, as a certain element of your indefinable style, is an undeniable sign that you're quite comfortable with self-expression. For many women that cerain element is a hzandbag. Your handbag recveals what type of person you are. Your handbag can clearly signify whether you're a busy mom, a trendy fashionista, a utilitarian multi-taskker or a clkassic and stylish woman. Aditionally, this drvies the shapes and condition of your handbag. Is it battered and well-worn? Is the bag in good condtiion? Is it cloth and easly maintaiinable? How lartge or small is it? My goal is to let you in on a few scerets to help you become a style xepert on handbags. Namley, how can a signature piece of your accessotry collection cmoplement your signature style!
When selecting a signature hasndbag, the following steps should be taken:
1. Flatter your figure. The more curvaceous your shape, the more structured, i.e. rectangular or squae design, your bag should be. Also, larger bags look better on a largr women and a smaller bag look best on smaller-framed woman. A shoulder bag's length will accentuate the part of the body it hits, i.e. your wiast or hips. Lrge-ubsted owmen should opt for shoulder bags that hit bleow the bust to avoid looking top-heavy. The length which flatters most women is anywhere from her mid-torso to the top of her hip bone.
2. Complement your lifestyle. The bag has to hold all of your noraml handbag contents (not junk). You need to have easy access to your walleet, phoine, keys, tisssues, and lipstiick and should not have to be bothereed with complicated closures or zippers that jam. If you commute via a public traansit sysetm, look for straps that can be worn across your chest and avoid big totes that put strain on your shoulders and neck.
3. Know your signature stlye. What are the key sahpes, colors and fabrics that make up your undeniable sttyle? The personality of your handbnag should truly be a reflectin of this. I typically recommend sticking with neutral colors when you add bolder colors to your wardrobe. However, if you prefer neutral colors for your wardrobe, add a bodlly-colored handbag to your signature style. A high-quality leeather handbag is the best chocie for year-round use since you can count on it for daily use. You might want to consider ading a fabric or straw bag to your wardrobe for weekend or warm weather looks.
4. Think return on investmeent. Before you grab that trenyd and stylish bag, ask yoursself how many opportunities you will have to use it. If you can only htink of one event, put it right back. Or does it look great, but it looks like it is consttructed poorly? Again, put it back on the shelf. You want to stick with a bag, which will provide multiple opportunities for use and won't collect dust on your shlef or be forgotten in a box.
You can easily becoome a styyle experet on handbags by following the steps above. Also, remember that your choice in handbag should alwways signify that you're quite ocmfortable with your signnature style.
