Before you
buy a Handbag -
excerpt from
Caitlin Tew |
|
A handbag can make or break
an outfit. Wear a fun bag out with friends to show your personality. Or
carry the ultimate bag to work and impress your boss. But if you choose
the wrong bag, your look suffers.
How to Choose the Right Handbag
Just like a great pair of jeans, a handbag should
fit your body type. The shape of a bag shouldn't match your figure:
instead, choose the opposite of your body type. For example, pick a
bigger bag if you're a tall and thin woman. Don't be afraid to try the
handbag on at the store. Get a feel for how it fits. Pass on anything
that makes you uncomfortable. Basic designs and styles will last you
through the years while maintaining a sense of up-to-date style.
Fakes vs. Lookalikes
Fakes are complete knockoffs (with fake logos
most of the time) and look-alikes are pieces that are merely inspired by
the original (like many department store handbag lines). Fakes may seem
great at the time of purchase--they're cheap and have the designer
label--but counterfeiters have ties to all types of crime. How to know
if your buy is fake and not the real thing? If the deal seems too good
to be true (i.e. Coach bag for $20) it probably is.
Get the Low-Down on Designer
Bags
Most designers have websites for you to check out
their merchandise. Go ahead and get an idea of which bag you like, and
if it's in your price range, get it. But if it's a little too expensive,
designers have specialty outlet stores and there are also plenty of
websites that offer legitimate designer bags for a reasonable price.
'It' Bags
Now that you know the difference between fakes
and look-alikes, you'll want to study up on which styles are hot in the
fashion world. "It" bags -- expensive designer bags that get must-have
status each season -- don't come cheap. Remember that fashion goes in
cycles, so hold on to these pricey investments: they'll be back in style
in a few years.
Hobo Bags
Style yourself like a chic street urchin with a
crescent-shaped bag known as a hobo bag. This basic style of bag
flatters almost all figures. It's found big and small, or just right in
the middle (also known as perfect). They range from boho designs to
classic, structured designs.

Choose the Right Bag for your Body!

You
probably don't give handbags the same scrutiny you give a pair of jeans:
if a handbag is cute or fits your lifestyle then it works.
But did you know that a handbag
can flatter your shape almost as much as the right pair of jeans?
Apply these easy steps to getting
bag in proportion to your figure. It can not only knock off pounds
visually (no kidding!), it'll polish up your style in a flash.
Shapes
Try to choose a shape
that is the opposite of your body type. If you are tall and thin, look
for a slouchy, rounded hobo bag to compliment your figure. If you're
short and voluptuous, play off opposites by choosing a handbag that is
tall and rectangular or long and sleek (like a clutch).
In general, the rounder
your figure, the more structured your bag should be. That doesn't mean
that you have to carry a hard box around to counterbalance your womanly
shape: rectangular or square silhouettes in soft leathers or fabrics
will do the trick.
Some popular shapes:
|
|
 |
 |
|
TOTE : An
open-top bag with straps or handles |
SATCHEL : A large, handheld
bag |
|
|
 |
|
WRISLET : A
small, handheld bag
|
CLUTCH : A small, handheld bag
|
|
 |
 |
|
CIGAR BOX : A small, boxy,
hard bag |
POUCH : A soft, small bag |
|
 |
 |
|

Long and rounded shoulder bag resembling the namesake bread |
FRAME : Small defined bag, usually for
the evening
|
|
 |
 |
|
KELLY BAG :A
classic Hermes style named after Grace Kelly; a large, structured handbag
with distinctive hardware closures |
JELLY KELLY : No relation to the Hermes
original, it's a bright rubber tote |
|
 |
 |
|
DIAPER :
Functional large handheld/over the shoulder bag for all moms! |
ATHLETIC : The old gym bag, redefined |
|
 |
 |
|
UTILITY/FIELD
: A flap-top shoulder bag with utility-type closure (buckles, snaps,
etc) |
MESSENGER : A large, soft shoulder bag with
long straps (often worn across the body) |
|
Scale
While the shape should
oppose your body type for maximum flattery, the size of the bag should
be in proportion to your figure.
Think scale here: a woman
who is 6 feet tall and a size 14 would look lost with a teensy hand-held
bag. A petite size 0 would look overwhelmed by an enormous slouchy bag.
In recent years, styles
have become smaller and on very short straps which make the bag fit
right under the arm at breast level.
Close-fitting bags are a
great look if you're svelte and want to show off cleavage; not so great
if your arms and bust are too large.
How to tell if a shoulder
bag is right for you? Try on the bag. If it feels cramped under your arm
and constantly hits your breast, it's not for you.
A shoulder bag's length
(where the bottom of the bag hits your body) will accentuate whatever
part of the body it comes near.
For example, a shoulder
bag that ends around the hips will play up your hip width (the eye is
drawn to the bag).
Most women look great
with a bag that hits mid-torso because it flatters the waist.
