Bags have become an indispensible part in our life, no matter for decoration, for daily use, or for special occasions. Women love beautiful bags by birth .  So how to pick up a right bag that flatter your traits and hide your shortcomings . In another word , that is to pick up a bag suitable for your body type .

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 voluptous, 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.

 Hobo bag – A crescent-shaped shoulder bag.

 Field bag – A flap-top shoulderbag with utility-type closure (buckles, snaps, etc).

 Clutch - A small, handheld bag or a larger, geometric shape that is tucked under the arm.

 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.

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.
