Pick The Bag That's Best For You By Susan Arseneau At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

I remember when I used to believe that a purse was just a container to make it easier for women to carry all those necessities we feel we must have with us at all times – you know what I mean, the obvious items – wallet, checkbook, comb, brush……then there’s the add-ons – the make-up bag (just the essential items needed for quick touch-ups – foundation, cover-up, mascara, lip liner, lipstick, eye lash curlers, tweezers, 15 shades of eye shadow…..the necessities), the travel size hair spray, 5 containers of creams, curling iron, Kleenex, washcloth, spare pair of panty hose, cell phone, organizer…….

I could go on I’m sure but I think most of you women are nodding your heads and laughing along with me at this point.

Recently I was enlightened to the fact that a purse is meant to be so much more! Did you know a purse cannot only enhance your outfit, but can also flatter your body? I know!! I couldn’t believe it either!

Here are some of the tips I have come across on how to pick a bag that is going to flatter your body:

You can flatter you body by choosing a bag with a shape that is the opposite of your body type. If you are of the tall and thin variety a larger rounded, slouchy bag would best complement your look. If you are short and curvy a taller or rectangular shaped bag would be a great choice.

The general tips are that the rounder your body type, the more structured shape bag would be the best complement to your figure. This does not suggest that you carry a perfectly square, hard box style of bag – just think along the lines of a more structured shape.

Now, when it comes to the size of your bag, you should pick one more on proportion to your body rather than the opposite. If you are on the petite side you don’t want to be overshadowed by your bag, so stay on the small to medium size rather than the large slouchy style of bags.

Purses come in so many sizes and shapes now that you will have no problem finding one that suits not only your needs, but complements your figure and style.
