When most people think of wardrobe choices based on body shape, they don’t tend to think of accessories. But the truth is, different colours, styles, and sizes of accessories, such as shoulder handbags and cross body bags, can make a difference on your overall appearance. Here are some tips on how to choose the right bag to compliment your body shape.
If you are thin or petite, and you want to emphasize your bust or create a presence by the way you dress, you may want to choose a small to medium sized bag. This may some contradictory, but if you carry a bag that is large, it will only over emphasize how small you are. Carrying a smaller bag will make everything about you proportioned.
Likewise, if you are very tall or plus sized and you don’t want to emphasize these aspects of your body, you may want to carry a medium or larger bag. If you carry a tiny clutch or a small shoulder bag, it will only emphasize your size. But a well proportioned bag will compliment your full figure.
Something else to keep in mind is the style of the bag. Those with very small busts may not want to wear cross body bags as these may emphasize how small your bust is. Of course, you can get around this by wearing a padded bra on the days that you wear a cross body bag. But you may prefer a shoulder bag or clutch.
Larger women with full figures may also want to consider avoiding cross body bags because you may not want to emphasize the size of your bust by accentuating your breasts. However, if this is something you do want to show off, a cross body bag is a great way to do it.
