My ladies, trust y'all are doing great this morning... 
As a fashion and style freak, I've often had some resentments when I see some of you carry some kind of handbags that doesn't match your personality even when you're trying to be stylish. So I thought of how to help you know the kind of bag that suits your body type and in my research I found this article and thought to share with y'all.... 

When shopping for a new handbag anytime, consider your body type. Not every handbag is ideal for every woman. Follow these tips to find the perfect handbag for you.

Generally speaking when it comes to handbags, the opposite shape of your body type is the most flattering. When shopping, it's advisable you head to the dressing room, carry the bag as you normally would and check it out from all angles in the mirror.

Tall and thin

Choose handbags with a short, slouchy shape like the hobo. Avoid shoulder bags with a short strap as they will make you look even taller. Select handbags that are wider than they are tall. A clutch is a good choice.

Petite

Despite what you see in Hollywood and Nollywood, oversized bags aren't for small women. Large bags tend to overwhelm your frame. Avoid shoulder bags with a long strap as they will weigh you down, making you look even shorter.

Plus-size

Pick a large structured or boxy bag to balance out your curves. Don't carry a bag that is too small as it will make you look larger. If you love prints, steer clear of tiny patterns.

Everyone

If you are splurging on an expensive bag, choose one that you will be able to wear often. There's no need to spend #50,000 or more on a bag that will rarely make it out of your closet. If you are buying several inexpensive bags instead, pick one classic everyday bag in black or brown. Then, experiment with fun, funky styles and metallics for your other bags.

Meanwhile, consider these tips and you'll be sure to appear more elegant next time!
