What is a woman's bag?

Stylists agree that a woman should have at least 6-7 bags. The number at first glance seems excessive, but in fact it is not. A separate accessory is needed for the summer, for the beach, for evening and holiday outfits, for the off-season and winter, under sportswear, for traveling or a long journey. And this does not take into account materials and colors. Together with them, the minimum number of handbags for a comfortable life increases at least 2 times.

What is this accessory?

This is a woman's personal item. The quality is so pronounced that psychologists and designers compare the bag to underwear. Access to the accessory is limited, if only for the reason that its appearance and contents can be used to create a psychological and social portrait of the owner.

Important! Today, a handbag is used to store and carry all sorts of things, but this was not always the case. For a very long time, the accessory acted only as a substitute for a wallet. The method of application changed only under Louis XIV.

Types of women's handbags

There are casual, evening, seasonal and sports models. There is also a division according to the type of shape (square, round, bag, rectangular) and the ability to maintain this shape (soft, hard). The third basic classification is based on size, the fourth on material. The fifth is built on the principle of closing. The following mechanisms are found:

• valve;
• magnetic button;
• drawstring cord;
• frame lock;
• lightning.

Attention! Seasonality is not an empty phrase. For summer, bright printed models are sewn; lightweight materials are often used in their creation. Such a bag will not look harmonious with a down jacket or fur coat.

What bag is a must-have in your wardrobe?

A black handbag of medium capacity and discreet design is an essential component of a woman’s personal property.. It is universal, is a base and a kind of lifesaver. However, you shouldn’t overestimate her and make her your constant companion. This common mistake causes any bow you create to look unfinished.

It is also worth purchasing a separate solution for every day. When choosing a style, you should start from your leading social role. Key guidelines on the issue:

A business handbag or briefcase is suitable for an office employee. Basic requirements for luggage: modest design, spaciousness, rectangular shape and rigid frame. When these properties are combined, you get an accessory in which you can safely place documents and gadgets.

Mom carries a lot of little things with her, from a spare pacifier to documents. Roomy, soft and non-barrel-shaped models, the internal space of which is well demarcated, are more suitable for it. Mandatory addition: a strap. A woman with a child will not be able to carry luggage in her hands or on the crook of her elbow. It makes sense to look at backpacks that have plenty of external pockets.

A student can afford a tote. It will fit school supplies and a laptop. She doesn't look strict or defiant.The netbook can easily be placed in a dome-shaped or trapezoidal bag.

Women who work in the service sector or with people always need to look attractive. The best option for them is moderately flashy luggage that looks smaller on the outside than it is on the inside. This category includes a travel bag and a bowler.

It also makes sense to purchase an exit option. It doesn't have to be a clutch or other evening style. You can refer to the envelope. The style is neutral, non-binding. It looks harmonious with a classic coat, a dress, and jeans combined with a stretched sweater.

The listed types are the minimum base. It should be reviewed and supplemented depending on your lifestyle, figure and style preferences.. Expansion should begin with determining the social burden. If grocery shopping is your responsibility, then buy a tote, bag or backpack. For regulars of parties and nightclubs, it makes sense to purchase a tablet on a chain. Lovers of a healthy lifestyle are nowhere without sports and shoulder bags.

Why is a bag important for a woman's look?

A psychological connection has been established between the woman and her bag. The latter is an indicator of the owner’s state of mind, as well as a tool. Some ladies, when they feel danger, hold their bag in front of them like a shield. Others fiddle with the handles or adjust the strap when they are nervous or in a hurry.

Such psychological codependency cannot be destroyed. As soon as you leave your favorite hobo or duffle at home, an emotional need for its contents immediately arises. The woman is in dire need of a bag, she needs it. Without it, the housewife does not feel confident and prepared. This negatively affects the perception of the girl by others.Other people see her not as a stylishly dressed interlocutor, but as a lady who is excited or worried about something.

In addition to confidence and a sense of security from your own preparedness for any development of events, the bag makes it possible to complete the look. Very often, it is used to tie shoes, clothes and headwear into a single harmonious ensemble. It also helps draw attention to certain parts of the body. For example, if you wear a bowler on the crook of your arm, it will end at the hip and focus attention on it.
