The Best Handbag...

For Your Physique

The accessories that you include with an outfit are just as important as the clothes themselves. Other people, especially women, tend to notice these things. Furthermore, if you are trying to capture someone’s attention, especially a man’s, then you want their eyes to look at one of your best features. The place where the handbag meets your body determines where eyes will be drawn. The size and style of your purse are critical factors when choosing one that is best matched for your physique.

Tips for selecting the right handbag to accentuate your physique:

• If your body type is overly abundant from the waist down, then the best strategy for you is to select a small purse with a short strap. This type tucks in nicely under the arm, draws the observer’s eye upward, and doesn’t add any bulk to the lower half of your body.
• If your body type is generously endowed on the upper half, then a larger bag with a longer strap that takes the attention away from your bosom will do nicely.
• For a thin and sleek body, a large, floppy type of bag will add a little something to your look. Any bulky type of handbag will also help to add a new dimension.
• For the well-endowed everywhere body frame, a smaller bag with a hint of color or a subtle pattern may do the trick. You may want to use a purse that has a short to medium length strap. This way, you can focus the attention on the upper half of your body rather than the full view.
• For that perfect hourglass body (and yes, wouldn’t we all love to have one of those), you have a multitude of choices. Anything goes for this body type, as long as the handbag goes with the outfit!

Keep in mind that you have already placed a big investment in time and money into the selection of your outfit. Maximize its effect by pairing the perfect outfit with the right handbag for your body type. The combination equals a perfectly eye-appealing portrait of you.
