Bags to snag according to your body type

by Drishti Mistry

When it comes to dressing for our body type, it’s the small things that make the whole picture pleasing. For instance, choosing the right bag for your body shape can make all the difference as they help with drawing attention to certain areas and divert attention from the others. Still not convinced? Below we’ve listed which bags styles flatter which body type and the science behind it. All you have to do is identify your body type and get ready to meet your outfit gamechangers…

If you’re heavier on the top and narrower at the bottom…

Draw the attention near your waist and away from the shoulders and chest area. Crossbodies and slings with thin straps are your best bet as they fall around the waist and hip area.

If you are narrower at the waist and heavier on both the top and the bottom…

Keep oversized totes and bags that cover your torso at bay, instead reach out for dainty belt bags and clutches that will accentuate your curves.

If you’re symmetric all over or have an athletic build…

To divert the attention from the straight lines around your body and create an illusion of curves, steer clear of structured bags and instead opt for oversized satchels and totes.

If you are heavier at the bottom and narrower at the top…

Invest in short handled shoulder bags or belt bags worn across your chest that highlight the upper area and create the illusion of slimmer hips. The only rule to remember? Never let your bag fall below the waist.

If you are heavier around the torso…

Shelve your small sized, short strapped and unstructured bags for top handled styles and large leather totes to strike a balance on the outlines of your body.
