Here are some wardrobe essentials that every fashionable woman should have in her cupboard:

1. Size Does Matter

‘Don’t go by the size’ is perhaps the worst advice ever! While buying handbags, you have to decide on what size you would prefer. Your ensemble and your utility depend on this. So, if you are planning to have a bag which will fit all, then you will have to go for variants like backpacks and sling backs or cross body bags. But just because you have to fit in a lot of stuff doesn’t mean that you have to buy only basics. Carryalls can be very fancy and versatile indeed. Keep your eyes open while shopping and you can literally ‘bag’ the best deals. Overstuffed bags can kill your vibe and look. So if you have to stuff in a lot of items, always buy a bigger bag. Stash a smaller bag inside it if you want to change your look.

2. Versatility is the key

A true fashionista knows that versatility is the key. You should be able to transform your look with your bag from a casual to an evening look without much ado. So, when you are buying handbags, choose colours and materials which will go with almost everything. Neutrals and black and brown are versatile colours.

3. Design corresponds to your body size as well

The shape of the bag you choose will depend on your body shape as well. So, if you are busty woman, you should select bags which will narrow down your upper body or shift focus from there. Cross body bags, messenger bags are a perfect choice for such body shapes.

Now, for women with pear shaped bodies, it is always good to carry a shoulder bag which ends on your midriff. They will add volume to the upper half of your body. For shorter and petite women, longer straps look flattering on their bodies.

4. Colour Dilemma

This is one of the biggest dilemmas that women face. Choosing a colour which doesn’t make them look like a rainbow is hard. But it is also important to note that sometimes a bright colour can really make an outfit bloom. For instance, a red clutch with a black outfit can really look rad.
