: Large or small women's bags? Here's how to choose them

Do you have a closet full of large or small bags but you never seem to have the right one? Here are some tips to choose the right bag for you

Whether you have a closet full of bags or have three for all seasons and needs, it helps to know how to choose and carry bags, large or small .

Of course, your personal preferences, your taste, your personality win over any suggestion, over any dictate of fashion: our advice can serve as inspiration when you have to decide on your outfit or you have to buy some accessories, including bags.

What kind of bag to use for the evening, work, the beach?

Meanwhile, if we are talking about large or small bags, it is worth seeing what the most common bag models are and how to match each model to each occasion.

The clutch bag

It is small, elegant and can be soft or envelope-shaped: the clutch is perfect if you need a small and compact bag to carry by hand. It is perfect for formal occasions such as an evening at the theater, dinners and formal evenings.

Less suitable to be worn to work.

On Kalè Store you can find various clutches in different patterns: batik , marine pattern , multicolor , leopard .

 

Handbag

The handbag is medium sized and is carried on the forearm. More suitable for a morning ceremony than for evening events. But you can also use it to go for a walk downtown for shopping, knowing that you can only bring the bare essentials.

On Kalè Store you can find different models: here is a handbag with a super colorful pattern and a leopard print one .

 

Shopper bag

Great for shopping and therefore medium in size, shoppers are perfect for going shopping and running errands. You can use them for the office, for university, for school, but also for the beach. Often in soft fabrics, just change the color to make it suitable for casual outfits and to fill it with everything you need.

 

The backpack

Whether you are looking for a large or small bag, the backpack is the king of comfort. Practical, sporty, you can also find very chic models. Of course, they cannot be combined with very formal clothes or worn to a wedding.

Here is Kalè Store's proposal: a leopard backpack perfect for the most aggressive and sporty souls.

Shoulder bag

Comfortable, roomy, great if you need to carry everything you need to take care of your children: it's the shoulder bag.

The handles are usually short, the dimensions are large, and it is also perfect for going to the beach.

Less suitable for formal and elegant occasions, the shoulder bag will be a trusty and practical companion on your adventures.

 

How to choose the right bag for your body type?

Enhancing your physical shape is important for those who care about communicating themselves with awareness also through style choices.

It is therefore important to know that even the bag can contribute to enhancing the shape of your body: the bag is a sort of accent that if used in the right way can lead the gaze of the observer where you want it in the way you want.

If you have a large build, for example, very small bags can highlight this feature of yours, this is because a particularly small object contrasts with something very large. So if you are of a robust build and very tall, use a clutch bag if you want to highlight this feature.

Instead, choose large, roomy bags if you want everything to be in proportion.

And for those who are slim and small in stature, what types of bags can be chosen?

Small bags and clutches are perfect for smaller and shorter physiques, if you don't want to create disproportion.

For women who are not too tall but curvy we recommend medium bags, which can actually fit many different body types. Remember that if you don't want to lower your silhouette it is advisable to avoid large bags .

Large bags, on the other hand, can be very suitable for both those with a large build and those who are tall and slim.

 

Which models to choose to highlight your body shape?

We’ve talked about large and small bags and body type, but there’s another thing to consider: your body shape.

We said that the bag is like an accent: its height, shape, length will highlight one part of the body rather than another.

Being aware of how they look when worn can help you choose what to focus on or how to divert attention.

If the hips and breasts are particularly ample but aligned , the strong point to highlight could be the waist: therefore we choose bags that stop at the waist, whether they are shoppers or shoulder bags.

If you have a large bust and want to balance it out, it's best to avoid a bag that rests on your bust. You can try a shoulder bag or one that hangs down your hips. Remember, however, that it's best to wear the bag straight, that is, without the handle crossing your chest: if you choose this way of carrying it, it will squash and accentuate your bust, instead of 'lengthening' its shape.

What if we have more accentuated hips?

If we choose a bag that reaches the height of the hips, the hips will be more noticeable. If instead we choose shoulder bags that reach the height of the breast, the attention shifts from the hips to the upper part of the body.
