How to Select a Handbag that Accentuates your Physique

The handbag that we include with our outfits are just as important as
the outfits themselves. Other people tend to notice these things,
especially women.
If we are trying to capture someone's attention, especially a
man's, then we want the man's eye to be drawn to one of our best
features. The size and style of our handbag can be a critical decision
in this process. The place where the handbag meets our body determines
where the eyes will be drawn to look.
The handbag should not be glaringly different from the rest of the
outfit, but rather it should blend with it. It should also be spacious
enough that it can hold all of the items that we will be carrying with
us. Optimally, the color and design of your handbag should be versatile
enough to go with more than one outfit.
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 to the lower half.
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 the 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 to the upper half of your body rather than the full view.
For that perfect hourglass body (and yes, wouldn't I love to have one
of those), you have a multitude of choices. Anything goes for this
woman, as long as it 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 taking
care with the accessories that you add.
Remember that a perfect outfit coupled with perfect accessories equals
a perfectly eye appealing portrait of you!
