Which Summer Handbag Should You Choose?

By Nicholas Lancaster


There are women who have handbags for each of the week and every time they go out, they seem to be toting a different one. When it comes to selecting from your existing panoply of purses or buying a new handbag, no matter if you are looking for one or two understated purses, or if you'd prefer to have a dedicated handbag room full of 'loud', stylized satchels, you need to follow some rules.

As with clothes, different handbags suit different girls with different body types. You may see someone carrying a purse which, in your opinion, is something you must have this second but before you go rushing off to visit Sam Moon, think about it for a bit: did it just look good because of the person carrying it or do you think the handbag will really fit your body type? It would make no sense to get a purse that's cute and tiny just like what the shorter girl is carrying if you are tall and thin because it may only serve to make you look bigger.

A bag that looks fine carried by a taller girl may look oversized on your smaller frame which means that it's important to give some thought to proportion if you are small and petite. If you're trying to draw attention towards or away from a particular attribute, ensure that you get a bag that hangs at that body level, as eyes will be drawn wherever your handbag sits.

If you only carry a few items on a daily basis, then it's not necessary to have a massive bag with dozens of pockets which is why it's important to give some practical thought to your handbag. At the same time, a tiny one-pocket purse that's crammed full of essentials is going to end up looking like a shopping bag if you are higher-maintenance kind of girl.

Another important thing to consider is quality since good construction and good materials will yield a bag with good structure, show bulges from its contents, keeping it from sagging and flopping, and having a good bag also means that it will last longer.

If you like having a veritable menagerie of handbags to choose from, you may be more able to play with effervescent summer colors, prints, and styles in all kinds of funky materials but if you're a one or two-purse girl, stick with leather or even suede in neutral colors so that you can get the highest quality and the most versatility from your purse-buying buck.

Enjoy the shopping experience regardless of what kind of girl you are or what kind of bag you are looking for and also, make sure that you think ahead to what that bag will look like with your other outfits because the case of purse buyer's remorse is something no one likes!
