How To Choose The Best Womens Handbags And Purses

By Stacey Burt


A stylish handbag not only gives a woman a convenient place to tote her essential items, but it also adds to her overall look and can make a fashion statement. With so many different labels and style of womens handbags and purses to choose from it can be difficult to find just the right one. These tips will help make this decision easier for ladies shopping in Laurel, Maryland.

A purse can be carried in one of several different ways; short handles, a shoulder strap, or across the body, some styles, such as clutches have no handles at all. The wearer needs to decide which style is most comfortable and practical for its intended use, and select a design which best fits this preference.

The size of the handbag is another important factor when it comes to purse shopping. A good starting point is to first determine which items qualify as "must-haves" in one's purse and find something that will basically accommodate these essentials. Smaller sizes obviously won't provide sufficient space, but sometimes up-sizing too much can lead to things "getting lost" inside the bag, making it hard to keep organized.

Just as bodies come in different shapes, so do purses, making it possible for women with all figure types to find one that is flattering. It is most effective to pick a bag that has a shape which is opposite to one's own, such as a round design for women that are slender and statuesque. The overall effect will be one of balance.

Color selection should be based on one's wardrobe items, and whether its purpose is to blend in or stand out. Muted tones such as brown, gray, and black are versatile and can be worn with most outfits, or if a bolder look is desired, jewel tones like deep blue or green, and red make a great accent that can set off an ensemble.

Quality can go a long way, since it is ultimately what determines how many years of use one will get from a purse. Leather typically offers the most durability. Choosing recognized brands known for their fine quality and features such as strong zippers, seams, lining, and handles can all contribute to a purchase one can enjoy more use from. Protective metal "feet" on the bottom of the bag can also help prevent soiling and damage.

The structure needs to feature an easily accessible main compartment, and at least two side pockets, which provides optimal practicality. Personal preferences for closure type, zipper vs. Clasp, or whether the purse has a flexible or rigid design vary from one user to the next and mostly depend on where the bag will be worn and how it will be used.

If realistic for one's budget, it is usually wise to opt for handbags with a higher price-tag, since the quality received in return will eventually pay off. A great deal on the perfect purse can be had with some careful watching and comparison shopping, both in physical boutiques as well as the online marketplace, which literally gives shoppers the chance to buy from sellers around the world.
