By the time you are finished with this article, you will know what purses will go perfectly with your body type and what purses to avoid. First let's get to know the purse styles.
The Hobo - The Hobo is a medium sized bag. It has a scooped in top and a long shoulder strap.
The Tote - The Tote is a very large bag. The top is open framed and it either has a long shoulder strap or short handle.
The Clutch - The clutch, also known as the handheld bag, is generally small or medium and has no form of handle. This type of bag is most common with formal attire.
The Satchel - The Satchel is a large bag with an open top and short handle grip.
The Bucket - The Bucket is a large bag that is very deep. It has a short handle grip.
The Messenger - The Messenger has a large body with a flap over design on top. It models off a long shoulder strap.
The Shopper - The Shopper is a large bag with an open mouth design. It features a long-double shoulder strap.
The Barrel - The Barrel is a small person with a round-barrel-like body. It suits a long shoulder strap.
Okay, now onto how these bags will show off your body type!
Athletic shaped bodies - These bodies are more of a square shape. This will mean that your figure is long and lean and your shoulder, waist, and hips are all the same width. I would recommend the Satchel or Hobo for you.
Apple shaped bodies - The apple shaped body features narrowed shoulders and hips. The busts are fuller and the waist is less defined. For this body type I would strongly recommend either the Shopper or Bucket.
Hour glass shaped bodies - The hour glass shaped body has a well defined waist and the shoulders and hips are the same width. The Clutch or Tote will be perfect for you!
Triangle shaped bodies - The triangle shaped body's hips are wider than the shoulders. I would recommend getting a Satchel or Barrel.
Inverted Triangle shaped bodies - The inverted triangle shaped body has shoulders which are wider than the hip area. I would recommend a Hobo or Messenger bag for you.
Remember to always take your body size and don't make your purse too small or too big. A purse that is too big for you will only make you seem smaller and a purse that is too small for you will make you seem larger.
