It is one of the key wardrobe items. Depending on how you choose it and wear it, it can make an advantageous or disadvantageous accent on your figure. The designers of the Ukrainian brand of men's and women's bags Issa Hara will tell you how to choose an accessory so that it reveals all the beauty of your shape.
Every body type is beautiful, the main thing is to highlight it correctly
Any body type is beautiful! It’s just that not every woman knows how to emphasize it, but it can be fixed!Hourglass
You have: · a pronounced bust; · thin waist; · rounded hips. This expressiveness of the chest and hips with a relatively narrow waist creates a balance between the upper part and the lower part. You can afford almost any type of bag; the most advantageous would be the option with a long strap or small handles.If you want to highlight your waist even more, a medium-sized accessory worn on a bent elbow works well.
Rectangle
You have: · the waist is not very pronounced; Shoulders and hips are approximately the same width; · small bust. For some people, this figure looks more athletic (if they are tall and have broad shoulders), while for others it makes them look narrow and petite (if they are short and have narrow bones).
It is recommended to select bags with a long strap; they will give additional roundness to the hips. If you are short, a shoulder bag will look great. Avoid rigid rectangular vertical shapes. It is advisable to choose products with soft lines; they will give you the desired roundness.
Pear
You have: · narrow shoulders and a small bust; · pronounced waist; · voluminous hips and legs. This figure will look very elegant if you wear a bag on the chest or waist line. This can be an everyday clutch or a classic bag with a medium strap, which is usually worn on the shoulder.
If the product is at hip level, it will add volume to them, and then they will look disproportionate to the entire figure. The exception is square or vertical bags, rigid shapes and soft colors.
Triangle, point down
You have: · broad shoulders and a large bust; · narrow hips and slender legs; · most often, a weakly defined waist. You can take any bags, except those worn at the chest and waist line. The bag has the ability to add volume to the part of the figure at the level of which it is located.
Your task is to visually round the hips and legs, so any accessories at their level are for you! You should carry bags in your hand with short straps, over your shoulder with a long strap (but not “messenger bags”), or on the crook of your elbow. Give preference to soft horizontal shapes, bright or light shades.
Apple
You have: · relatively narrow shoulders and hips; · undefined waist, tummy present.
The best option is to hold the purse in your hand, at the level of your hips or legs. If you give them roundness, then the rounded belly will be very proportional and harmonious. Avoid bags at chest or waist level, or with a long belt.
Size +
For girls with curvy figures, there are additional rules. They should avoid small handbags that will create a contrast between the figure and the accessory.
The ideal option is medium or even large sized bags. If the problem area is the stomach, then they should be worn near the hips. If your hips are the most curvy, wear the accessory at chest or waist level.
What petite girls need to know
As in the previous case, pronounced contrast should not be allowed. Petite ladies should avoid large bags, which will create a pronounced disproportion.What role does height play?
If you are short and want to visually add height, take a closer look at models with a long strap, they visually lengthen your silhouette. Whatever shape and model you choose, it is advisable that their height be no more than 25 cm. Tall girls who do not want to look even taller should avoid bags with long straps.We all agree that an ordinary handbag can present us in the best possible way in the eyes of others, complement our image, emphasize our individuality, and even correct some shortcomings of our figure. A bag is one of the necessary accessory items that no woman is indifferent to; it will either make you elegant or ruin everything. Everyone chooses a bag to suit their taste. But perhaps not everyone knows what principles must be followed when choosing, so that you both like the bag and are very appropriate to your outfit and figure. And most importantly, remember that the ability to harmoniously combine accessories with clothes distinguishes an elegant woman from “just a fashionista.”
How to choose a bag and how to wear a bag - the main rules
Do you think the size of your handbag depends on your height? Yes, sure. The larger the figure, the larger your handbag should be. A short woman with a large bag will look very funny, especially if the bag is made of patent leather (you will look like Thumbelina). For such women, a medium-sized bag with short handles is more suitable. A tall woman will look a little awkward with a bag with short handles. In this case, a large bag is very useful.
If you are a plump lady, a small bag is not for you. She will focus on your fullness (what a big woman!!). A medium-sized bag in the shape of a rectangle or an elongated one is suitable.
If you have large chest and shoulders, you should not wear it, especially under the arm, it is better not to focus on large parts of your figure, i.e. In this case, a bag with a long handle (can be worn on the shoulder) is suitable.
If you have large hips, shift your attention to the upper part of your figure, get a medium-sized handbag with short handles or a purse that you will carry under your arm.
Which handbag color is best? It depends on your toilet (don't forget your shoes). Everything is good in harmony with each other. But don't forget which colors suit you. Don't choose a color just because fashion demands it today, don't give in to external demands if you don't agree with it. Try to express your individuality and not “be like everyone else.”
In addition to the need to take into account the figure, you can add the following recommendations.
Nothing will brighten up your closet like a well-chosen combination of shoes and bag. Some women strive to have a large number of bags (for all occasions), others have to balance their desires with their capabilities. But in both cases, you must have one classic-type handbag.
Do not carry large and heavy bags with a light dress.
Do not wear beaded handbags with a beaded dress, or velvet handbags with a velvet dress. made of beads will go well with a velvet dress, and velvet handbags will go with a dress with beads.
You can recognize a woman by her purse and the way she carries that purse.
Please note that a large size bag turns out to be typical for energetic and active women, the classic shape is chosen by women who are also active, but at the same time elegant - for sophisticated women. And our handbags can tell us a lot more about us - about how organized or overly emotional we are, closed or open, independent or insecure.

How to highlight the advantages of a full figure with the help of accessories?
Shawls
A neck scarf can look very stylish and elegant. Basically, there are no special restrictions regarding the choice of shades of scarves. A scarf in a noble dark color - black, burgundy, deep blue - looks very elegant. A light neckerchief - white, peach, beige - will refresh your face.
The only thing you should avoid are scarves with bright, tacky prints: flowers, large checks or polka dots, etc. It is recommended to give preference to monochromatic colors.
Try not to tie scarves in a bow - such a knot will visually widen your neck.
Scarves
The color requirements for scarves are the same as for neck scarves. As for the type of fabric, preference should be given light, airy materials. Do not wrap scarves around your neck in several rows, otherwise it will seem that you have no neck at all.
But the long ends of the scarf, lowered along the body, will visually create vertical lines that will make you slimmer.
Decorations
The choice of jewelry is one of the most delicate moments in creating an image. Any decoration aims to attract attention to the part of the body on which it is worn. This must be taken into account and observed in moderation. The larger the accessory, the more striking it is. So if you are worried about unaesthetic folds on your neck, you should not focus on this area with short beads. If you are unhappy with too full fingers, do not wear large rings. And huge hoop earrings will make your face even wider.
will suit you rings and rings of medium size. They can be laconic - made of gold or platinum without any additional decorations, or have not too flashy stones.
Long thin dangling earrings are the best way to make your silhouette slimmer and your neck more graceful. Small hoop earrings will also suit you.
You can easily afford one fairly large bracelet made of metal, plastic or wood, or several thin bracelets.
The neck is best decorated not too thick chain made of precious metals or thin long beads.
Bags
Miniature handbags with a short strap, peeking out from somewhere under the armpit of a plump woman, they look ridiculous.
However, a bag that is too massive, decorated with a large number of heavy fittings and patch pockets, will also emphasize the bulkiness of the figure.
The bag should be medium in size.
Remember that a large bag hanging on your elbow or on a long belt will visually widen your hips.
Hats
Choosing a headdress often turns into a headache. To the point that women generally try to do without it. But in vain! A stylish cap or hat can add charm and elegance to your look.
For large women, hats that fit visually increase their growth. This function is performed, for example, by hats such as a turban, a turban, or an elegant hat with a narrow brim.
Avoid hats that are too wide-brimmed - they visually increase volume. But even very tiny hats are not suitable for you - against their background you will appear even fuller.
Belts
Completeness does not mean lack of proportions. Quite often, overweight women have a pear or hourglass figure. Well, the most important advantage of these types of figures is the waist. The easiest way to emphasize a graceful waist is with a belt.
As you see, Choosing accessories for plus size people is quite simple. Follow our advice, and remember: there are no ugly women.
It would seem, what does the type of appearance have to do with the bag? Aren't they universal?
Not really. Just like clothes and shoes, the choice of accessories should be made based on the parameters of your appearance. The size and model of the bag should harmoniously suit your figure - only in this case your image will look perfect.
Today we will tell you which bag to choose based on your style and body type.
What to look for when choosing a bag?
A bag is not just a way to transport important little things that you need to take with you, but also an important element in your image. The choice of this accessory depends on factors such as compatibility with the image and your personal style preferences. So, the main criteria for choosing a bag look something like this:
- The model should be practical and interesting.
- The bag should not lie like a dead weight, which means you should think about how to fit it into your images.
- The bag should be roomy so that you can easily put everything you need to take with you.
- It should match your style - if you wear only classic looks, then a sports bag or a bright backpack may be out of place in your wardrobe.
Tall girls
Being tall and having a slim figure is very beneficial - after all, almost anything suits such girls. This applies to both clothing, shoes and accessories.
Which bags are suitable:
You can choose almost any model of bags - backpacks, hard-shell bags, soft bulky models like a shopper, briefcases and clutches. And if you intend to adjust your height, you will need diagonal lines.
Petite girls
With short stature it is more difficult - you need to select things in such a way as to appear taller without disturbing the proportions.
Which bags to choose:
First of all, avoid voluminous models - they will make you even smaller and look awkward. Choose small handbags that can be carried in your hands or on your shoulder.

Voluminous clutches or structured bags with short handles, which are usually carried in the hands, will visually elongate the silhouette and create the effect of a more pronounced waist. 
@girlwithcurves Your image depends on the bag - so you should pay special attention to its choice.
When purchasing new clothes, women can behave in completely different ways: some make purchases spontaneously, obeying a momentary impulse - in this case, the item often, not finding its “other half” in the wardrobe, gathers dust in the closet. Others approach the issue of purchasing scrupulously: they review all the options, involve all their friends, conduct a “sociological survey,” compare the pros and cons, try them on and, finally, purchase.
In this case, each item is bought to match what is already in the wardrobe, or to match the color of the eyes, even the color of the car that the woman drives. This article will be useful for such women. Today we’ll talk about how to choose a bag according to your figure: what to look for, what factors may contribute to your choice. We will give advice for everyone, regardless of body type.
Why is it important to choose a bag that suits your figure?
Choosing a handbag is a very important and responsible procedure for a woman, requiring an individual approach. The main requirement here is the uniqueness of the bag and its compliance with the idea of an ideal image. Agree, such a bag is hard to find, especially if you need a bag “in a single copy and only for you.”
The shape of a bag can influence the visual perception of a woman's figure depending on her features: large or small bust, flat athletic stomach, luxurious hips or slender legs. The shape of the bag and its color can both attract men’s gaze and emphasize certain advantages of the figure, as well as hide its shortcomings.
Each girl has a bag
Each female figure has its own uniqueness, be it a tall and slender girl with a model physique, a girl of average height - the most common type, or a miniature figure - emphatically feminine and delicate. In addition to height, nature sometimes bestows lush hips, a large bust, and exquisite posture, and this also affects the choice of a bag according to your body type.
For example, you should choose a bag depending on your height.
- If you are a slim and tall girl of model height, then any handbag will suit you. It doesn’t matter what shape it will be, since applied to any part of the body it will emphasize the advantages of the figure. One has only to note, speaking about proportions, that very tall girls should not choose small handbags.
- Girls of average height should take a closer look at medium and small bags. With them you will look taller and slimmer, as the proportions will be respected.
- Petite women should not be tempted by large bags, although they are roomy and comfortable - small handbags are ideal for you. With a large bag, you run the risk of appearing shorter than you actually are.
Now let's look at how a correctly chosen bag can emphasize or hide body features.
|
Large and medium handbags are suitable for those with a curvy figure. You can safely experiment by choosing bright pieces with an unusual design. It is better if these are bags with a rigid frame than soft and shapeless ones. |
|
For ladies with wide hips, bags that will create volume in the upper body are suitable. These are medium-sized bags with small shoulder straps. But if you have a large bust, then the bag should be located in the waist area, and here the option with short handles will not work. A medium-sized bag with medium handles is desirable so that you can carry it on your arm, bending it at the elbow. |
|
Girls with a wide waist and non-protruding breasts and hips should wear soft, bulky bags. |
|
And finally, for those with a sporty figure, it is better to choose stylish and youthful bags than to make yourself strict by choosing bags with pronounced geometric shapes. |
Bag for the soul
The range of bags now is simply huge. These include clutches of various shapes, voluminous shopping bags, and formal bags for business ladies.
How to choose a bag for the soul from all this?
Remember the main thing: when choosing a bag, you emphasize a certain part of the body, so to speak, “put emphasis”.
If you have a small bust, you can take a clutch. Located in a half-bent arm, just below the chest, it will give it volume. The clutch is good for evening walks to a restaurant or on a date.
Volumetric, shapeless bags fit many figures and are inherently close to shopping bags. Shopping, going to a beauty salon, walking with children are ideal reasons for you to take out a shopper bag from your collection.
If you are a strict leader and manage a large business alone, often hold business meetings, choose bags of strict geometric shapes - briefcases. From it you can always get a couple of important papers to conclude a deal, while remaining simply beautiful and very feminine.
Remember that by choosing a certain type of bag, you “put on” a certain image. By choosing a strict bag, you become a business woman; a small clutch becomes a romantic person. In a word, for each style or activity you can choose that one bag that will be your bright addition. A bag is an accessory that emphasizes your condition. Feel free to experiment, change bags following a change in mood, status, style and lifestyle. Let your wardrobe have bags for all occasions. Happy shopping!
