Like most women, I have a range of bags in all sorts of shapes and sizes but I usually stick to my main dependable Radley handbag which I have had for a good few years now. It’s often tempting to add a few more to my collection but how do you know which bag is right for you? Here are some simple tips to help you choose.
First things first, what will your bag’s purpose be? What will you be carrying? Will it be a practical everyday accessory or something for a special occasion? A lightweight cross-body bag is best if you’re walking around a lot whereas a neat shoulder bag with space for a laptop might be better for the office.
Before shopping make sure you have an idea of what compartments and pockets you need it to have in order for your new bag to be practical and safe, don’t forget you will probably be using it to transport valuable items which will need to be kept secure.
The experts at Latest Deals say a key factor to think of when choosing a bag is your body shape, they suggest that you choose a bag which has the opposite shape to your body which will be the most flattering. If you’re tall and thin go for a short, slouchy-shaped handbag like a hobo bag and avoid shoulder bags with short straps.
If you have a petite frame then it’s best to avoid bulky bags which will swamp you, instead choose smaller, more delicate bags. For a plus size figure try large, structured handbags with boxy shapes in order to balance out your curves.
If you’re buying a bag that you want to use on multiple occasions with many different outfits then I recommend choosing a neutral colour you love as it will fit with many different styles, pieces and personalities.
Nude, grey, or black are good choices, they are classic and multifaceted colours that can be paired with almost any look from casual jeans and a t-shirt to a sexy little black dress. If you desperately want the latest style no matter what then go for it, but keep in mind that trends change whereas a classic piece never ages!
