Handbags, purses and other accessories add taste to every lady’s outfit;
they are a must in all wardrobes.
Choosing the appropriate handbag is not as easy as it may first appear. Handbags
must not only assort to the vestment but also with the time of day. This is the reason why
choosing the right handbag and matching it to your outfit can lead to the success or
sometimes failure of your whole image.
This year’s tendencies in handbags have not been much different from those of
last year’s; designers are sticking with large handbags but this time in association with
strong and vivid colors.
Designer’s proposals in handbags:
Like shoes, handbags are the type of accessories without which we can not
imagine an outfit, no matter how casual, elegant or sport that outfit may be. This is why
designers decided to give us the opportunity to choose the perfect handbag to define our style by creating a great variety of items
that are suitable for all tastes and situations.
Along the years we assisted to huge differences in handbags’ tendencies starting
from incredibly small to extremely large dimensions, from plain materials to flower and
animal prints and sometimes glittery as well.
All these tendencies are nowadays back in fashion starting this year; designers
decided that the combination of these materials is highly fashionable in 2008-2009. So, we
must not be in such a big hurry to get rid of our last years’ handbags, at least not before
trying to assort them to our new outfits.
Designers advice us to be as creative and as original as we possibly
can.
In color matters we are talking silver, metallic and golden with lots of
applications especially ribbons, pockets, small belts, buckles, flower made out of plain
leather, reptile leather, transparent plastic, satin or even fur.
If we want to come out of the ordinary and we can also afford it, we get to
choose between handbags made out of astrakhan leather, elephant leather or even crocodile
leather; if we can not afford these unique handbags we can still
stay in fashion by opting for regular leather, lake, feathers, and spangles, the effect is
guaranteed.
For daily purposes (going to work, shopping, afternoon walk) we are advised to
go for a large dimension handbag. It allows us to stuff in it all sort of thing whether we
need them or not in that particular day. Although we all love these over dimensional handbags
we must also be prepared to admit that in some cases they are not practical at
all.
When trying to match the bag to our outfit we must take into consideration both
color and print of our handbag. If the print look very loaded or if the color is a strong one
it is recommended to wear it with a plain outfit.
If we are planning to go to a business dinner we should make sure that our
handbag is not extremely large, smaller handbags are more appropriate for these occasions,
and as for the color, plain colors are advised.
Although the business dinner bag should have a delicate look, specialists also
recommend that it has several compartments so that it also serves for business purposes.
Needless to say your handbag must also match the whole business outfit.
For evening outfits purses are advised rather than handbags, no matter how
trendy the large handbags are. The small black purse made out of satin, with a heart
application is a must for all evening outfits.
