To find the perfect shape of designer handbag for your body remember these simple tips:

•If you are short and round choose a tall, rectangular tote with long straps or a long sleek, structured clutch.

•If you are pear shaped choose a structured cigar box purse or a sleek rectangular Kelly bag.

•If you are large busted stir clear of close-fitting handbags, which rest under the arm (this will further enlarge your bust and feel cramped), instead opt for a purse with long shoulder straps.

•If you are tall and thin choose a slouchy designer hobo bag, rounded bag or half-moon shaped purse.

•If you are very petit Stay away from extremely large bags, but choose a long clutch or rectangular tote that hits your leg and give the appearance of elongation.

•If you have a slim waist choose a designer purse with shoulder straps that allow the bottom of the bag to hit your waist.

•If you are 6-feet tall avoid cute, miniature evening bags or mini handheld pouches that you overwhelm with your stature.

•If you want to accentuate cleavage – pick a close fitting bag with short straps, which lie right under your armpit.
