A bag is a girl’s best friend, and you choose them like you choose your friends. Often you choose a bag based on its looks, just because you love it. But have you ever considered if the bag suits you functionally? If it enhances your beautiful figure? Probably not, and in this blog, we tell you how to find your perfect handbag!
#1 The perfect bag for your figure
Although bodies come in all shapes and sizes, most women use a handbag. Handbag manufacturers think the ‘one size fits all’ formula suits everyone, but everyone knows that is not the case. You can enhance your body type by choosing the right handbag.
Bags for the apple body shape
Do you have a larger bust as compared to the hip section, an undefined waist, round shoulders, and smaller hips? Do you also tend to put on weight first in the upper body section than the rest? Then you have an apple body shape! Ladies who are an apple usually want to emphasize their slim legs and small hips. A handbag with short handles is a perfect choice, especially when you carry it in your hand. A crossbody bag is also a good option, but you may not want to wear it crossed over your body. That emphasizes your round upper body and you probably want to avoid that. Last tip: if you are a shorter apple, it is better not to buy a large bag since that will make your proportions disappear.t. Last tip: if you are a petite apple, it is better not to buy a large bag since that will make your proportions disappear.
Bags for the pear body shape
Do you have large hips and a tiny bust? Do you have a slim waist, a flat tummy, and wide hips? Then you have a pear body family member! Your waist is the body part you want to show off. Wear a shoulder bag to accentuate your tiny waist. Shoulder bags also cover wide hips, so they do not stand out as much.
Bags for the hourglass body shape
Although we think all body types are beautiful (you are beautiful just the way you are!), people with an hourglass figure are usually seen as the lucky ones. Your body shapes are precisely matched. In other words: the volume is equally divided. Your bum and bust line are well-balanced. You have a defined waist, and your buttocks are round naturally. You have slightly rounded shoulders that align perfectly with your shapely bottom. Your legs are in proportion to your upper body. An hourglass figure can wear any bag. Choose the bag that accentuates the body part you love. Do you don’t want anything to distract from your figure? Then opt for a backpack or a clutch. You’ll pull them off as well.
Bags for the straight body shape
Do all sections of your body have similar measurements? Then you’re a straight type! This type is commonly known as the supermodel body. It’s also called a rectangular body. Most women with a straight body would love to create more volume. Avoid bags with sharp angles, but a more round model will look beautiful on you.
#2 The perfect bag for your lifestyle
Large, small, short handles, long handles, many pockets, one pocket: there are so many details to keep in mind when buying the perfect handbag. It is clever to look at your lifestyle when you want to find out what you are looking for in a bag.
Large bags
Are you someone who drags around all your belongings? A large shopper bag will suit you a lot better than a small handbag. Chances are you’re going to stuff your small bag. That will make it wear and tear a lot quicker. If you choose a large bag, you can carry anything you like without having any worries.
Small bags
Do you like living the minimalist way and do you like taking as little as you need? A small bag, crossbody bag, or clutch is perfect for you. Whether you’re on a night out or on a shopping spree, small bags fit your lipsticks, your cards, and your mobile phone. You don’t need anything more!
Bags with lots of pockets
Are you someone who can never find anything in your bag? From lipstick to keys, a small handbag is perfect for the chaotic ones among us. You can store all your stuff, and you don’t have to turn your bag upside down to find something. Just make sure you always put your things in ‘their own’ pockets. Otherwise, chances are you still won’t be able to find anything!
Bags that keep your hands free
Handbags may be beautiful and stylish, but when you take your kids to an amusement park, you just don’t want to keep your bag in your hands or on your arms. A backpack or crossbody bag helps you keep your hands free and they’re very trendy at the moment. This way, you avoid annoying situations and still look on fleek.
#3 The perfect bag materials
Just like clothes, bags come in all shapes and sizes. When deciding on what handbag you’re going to buy you can focus on which materials suit you.
Leather bags
Leather is a natural product and extremely strong. If you decide on a leather bag, it will last for years but, unfortunately, leather bags are not cheap. Always keep in mind what your goal is when buying a handbag. Do you want to use it for years to come, or do you want a trendy item that will look outdated next year? Are you going to use it on hiking trips or for shopping afternoons? Do you want to use it for years to come, are you willing to spend more money, and do you expect your bag to take a few knocks? A leather handbag is a perfect choice!
Faux leather bags
Faux leather is a good alternative to leather. The material is a synthetic product with the looks of genuine leather. Since it’s a synthetic product, a faux leather bag is less robust. But faux leather bags cost way less! A faux leather bag is a good choice if you want a trendy bag and you don’t expect it to last for years. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a bag, beautiful faux leather bags don’t cost much. You will have a gorgeous bag for a reasonable price.
Canvas bags
You see a lot of canvas bags during the summer. Compared to leather and faux leather bags, canvas bags can not deal with rain. It takes only one rain shower to ruin your bag. The sunny side to canvas bags is that they are a great alternative on warm, sunny, and dry days. Canvas is the perfect material for beach bags since sand can not damage the canvas. You can try to waterproof the canvas, just like you waterproof a coat. This will keep your bag looking beautiful for longer.
