Tips To Choosing A Handbag That’s Both Practical And Stunning

In the last decade, there has been a major evolution of handbags as they have been promoted from being a necessity to being a fashion accessory. Now, you may have come across various bags like shoulder bags, tote bags, backpacks, duffle bags and then some weird one like clear shoulder bags and fanny bags etc. There are all kinds of bags available in different shapes and sizes.

Women usually have a collection of bags in their wardrobe and all the bags have a purpose to serve. This is so that women can just change their bags with every outfit they wear. Handbags add to your personality as well as your outfit. However, when there are a plethora of bags to choose from, what will you purchase? Shoulder bags? Clutches for girls? Backpacks? No idea? Here I will share a few tips on how to choose a handbag that is best for you. 

Make sure it’s comfortable to carry: Yes! Handbags, like clothing, should be comfortable to wear. While purchasing a bag you should make sure to observe how it feels, if it pushes your arm out in an uncomfortable way. Does it slide off your shoulder too easily? And of course, the design. Find a bag that fits you perfectly. We can love a handbag but if doesn’t have the right kind of comfort for carrying around then you’ll begin to resent it quickly. It is always better to purchase bags from a well-known brand or store, someone that you can trust.

Make sure the bag is not too heavy on your shoulders: Leather bags are officially the best if you want to invest your money into something that will be fine in the long term. Unlike faux leather handbags which are not for long term use. When leather bags get scratched, they can be repaired easily and the best thing is that you can even polish them similar to a good pair of leather shoes. However, leather bags can be heavy, so you have to choose the one that isn't too heavy for you. Check for extra metalwork which can weigh down a bag. It is important because one day if you put something heavy in it, you’ll carry a lot more weight on your shoulders than you should. 

The right bag for you has the right pockets: A bag should have a balance of compartments. A perfectly designed handbag will have generous compartments that will distribute the weight overall so that it is not uncomfortable for you. Even clutches for girls come with a few card pockets which are affordable because then you don’t have to carry a separate card wallet. So, before you buy a bag check if it is just an empty void inside or does it have some pockets. If a bag lacks in pockets then you’ll just be dumping your things into it which are fated to be lost in the abyss of the bag. In these cases, fetching a simple lip balm becomes a tedious task.

Zip it up: It is just an unnecessary mess if your bag falls and all the things spill out on the floor. Somethings might even break. That’s why it is better to have a handbag that can be fully zipped or closed up so that if you are travelling and it falls over, nothing falls out. Especially with totes and bigger bags, having a zip closure can be beneficial for those times when you might need to be able to properly close your bags to keep the contents safe.

Make it beautiful: And then there is the design. According to your style, you should preferably choose a bag that suits you well. The bag should be aesthetically pleasing, it is as important as all the other things. Colour also plays a major role. If the colour is amazing then the bag can be plain and it would still work wonders for you.

Pick a versatile handbag: We all know that there are bags for various purposes but for your everyday bag, it should be versatile. A bag that suits all your looks and outfits.

So, now you know the things you need to keep in mind while you go for handbag shopping.
