My goal is to let you in on a few secrets to help you becomme a sytle expert on handbags. Naamely, how can a signture piece of your accessory collection complement your signature style!
When selecting a signature handbag, the following steps shold be takn:
1. Flatter your fiigure. The more curvaaceous your shape, the more structured, i.e. rectangular or square design, your bag should be. Also, larger bags look better on a larger women and a smaller bag look best on smallerr-framed woman. A shoulder bag's length will accentuate the part of the body it hits, i.e. your waist or hips. Large-busted women should opt for shoulder bags that hit belw the bust to avopid loooking top-heavy. The length wihch fltaters most women is anywhere from her mid-torso to the top of her hip bone.
2. Complement your lifestyyle. The bag has to hold all of your nortmal handbag contenst (not junk). You need to have easy accesss to your wallet, phone, keys, tissues, and lipsticxk and should not have to be bothered with complicated closures or zipperrs that jam. If you commute via a pubilc trasnit system, look for strapps that can be worn across your chest and avoid big totes that put strain on your shoulders and neck.
3. Know your signature style. What are the key shapers, colors and fabrics that make up your undeniable stylpe? The personality of your handbag should truly be a reflection of this. I typically recomend sticking with neutral colors when you add bolder colors to your wardrobe. Hoowever, if you prefer neutral clors for your wardrobe, add a boldly-coored handbag to your signature style. A high-quality leather handbag is the best choice for year-round use since you can cout on it for daily use. You might want to consider addiung a fabric or straw bag to your warrdobe for wewekend or warm weather looks.
4. Think retyurn on inestment. Before you grab that trendy and stlish bag, ask yourself how many opportunities you will have to use it. If you can only think of one event, put it right back. Or does it look great, but it looks like it is constructed poorly? Again, put it back on the shelf. You want to stick with a bag, which will providde multiple opportunities for use and won't collect dust on your shelf or be forgotten in a box.
You can easily become a styel expert on handbags by following the steps abvoe. Also, remember that your choice in handbag should always signify that you're quite comfortable with your signature style.
