Always remember the rule: Does a good accessory always change clothes, for better or worse? declares Professor Vanderly Loureiro, professor of the Fashion Design Technology course at Anhanguera University of São Paulo.
With this idea in mind, one can reaffirm the importance of bags in looks. Nowadays they have an extra function besides carrying your belongings, they are now a fashion accessory that directly influences the end result of your style.
Therefore, it is valid to know the characteristics of each type of women's bag and use them according to your needs and preferences, making the best possible use of this item in style.
Following are tips for using each women's bag model, according to the guidelines of fashion design teacher Vanderly Loureiro and fashion consultant Daniela Christine of GetNinjas.
Satchel Bag / Briefcase
According to the teacher, the satchel bag was and is still used by students and usually has shoulder straps or carry in hand. "Does the legend that was used by Roman legionaries for its practicality?" say.
Satchel bags are usually made of leather, in dark colors (brown, black, lead), medium or large sizes and have few or discreet details, advises Daniele.
What kind of look does it match? Ideal for use in a classic formal production, ie more discreet social clothing (pants, shirts, knee length skirts, blazers), sober colors, firm fabrics and tailoring. Pied-de-poule, herringbone or pinstripe prints are accepted.
Suggested Use: Working in formal and conservative companies, client meetings or visits, business lunches and solemn events.
Structured scholarship
Is this type of bag super high? in fashion. It is structured, that is, has a firmer (harder) material, says consultant Daniela.
Larger bags are usually more versatile to use and can take a good look at work or outing. Suitable for work, the structured impose greater seriousness, especially if worn with social clothes? clarifies Professor Vanderly. She also advises that the straps are designed to be anatomical and must be used in a size appropriate to the user's height and hand. Too large handles denote sloppiness, even in the most elegant bag in the world.
A) More discreet models, with light colors in medium or large sizes:
What kind of look do they match? You can wear this model with beige, nude, butterscotch colors in a contemporary formal style in which, despite the formality, there is a feminine and more youthful touch (dresses and knee length blazers). The colors are light or with some touches of strong colors. Medium heeled scarpin or peep toe shoes.
Suggested Use: Day-to-day work in less formal or less conservative companies, companies that deal with corporate clients, client lunches and meetings and workshops.
B) More stripped or retro models, with darker colors like pink, orange, yellow in all sizes, handheld or with crossed straps:
What kind of look do they match? With jeans and blazer, skirts (long or short), very feminine dresses and even retro style pieces. Ballet flats and shoes with round toes are welcome.
Suggested Use: Day to day work (companies with the informal dress code), in less formal lunches and events (can be used even in bars and happy hours in general).
Hobo / Half Moon Bag
The hobo bag translates the compromise between structure and flexibility, thus perfectly serving both functions, says Professor Vanderly.
Also known as a half moon, this bag has the largest base and is decreasing in the handles. Is it great for when you need to carry a lot of things inside (your diary or book, blouse, umbrellas, that packed suitcase, etc)? suggests consultant Daniela.
Vanderly still highlights two important tips: you should pay close attention to the material you are made of and if the underside is not too stiff. The material can make the hobo look more sporty (falling out very well with stripped looks like dresses, skirts and shorts) and its bellows when firm and wide tends to fatten the silhouette at hip height.
What kind of look does it match? Casual clothes, denim shorts, dungarees, etc. For a more boho look (meaning individual and natural), use those made in jeans or soft, plain or patterned materials and fringed models, all with earthy colors. To top it off, combine with long skirts, waistcoats, flower-colored dresses or light prints.
Suggested Use: Informal walks, concerts, malls, movies, etc.There are the most malleable leather models, which are worn with chemises or jeans, blazer and T-shirts for composition in a less formal work environment. In the feet, comfortable shoes or sandals with medium heels.
Tote / shopper bag
• When in doubt of what to use for shopping or sightseeing; use a shopping bag! Large, comfortable and great for shopping, wallet, books and everything you need. Always perfect for casual and sporty looks. Shopping bags usually have their mouths open, so keep an eye on your belongings? guides teacher Vanderly.
There are also their own to use on the beach, which are made of plastic and fabric ecobags for shopping in the market, as clarifies the consultant Daniela.
What kind of look does it match? Pantalonas with light fabrics and spaghetti straps, jeans and cardigans, all depend on the material of the bag. Some are made of leather and give a more sophisticated look even in the simplest productions of jeans and shirt only. In the feet, you can use slipper, flat or sneaker.
Suggested Use: Informal events in general, in less formal work environment, shopping, supermarket and even on the beach.
Trunk bag
This is a classic from the 60s, including much seen in models of the Louis Vuitton brand. It is the type of bag that suits all styles and physical types. Can be used by the hand strap or shoulder strap, advises consultant Daniela.
What kind of look does it match? It combines both classic and basic everyday wear with more romantic pieces (shirts and cardigans) but also look great with a double-edged jeans, scarpin and a knit.
Suggested Use: Events and less formal work environment, shopping, cinema, theater, etc.
Schoolbag
Comfortable for when you are on a ride and want to get your hands free. It is also perfect for carrying many things. No discomfort as it divides the weight between the shoulders (as long as used correctly), suggests fashion consultant Daniela Christine.
What kind of look does it match? In her latest role in a recent soap opera, the character of actress Bruna Marquezine wore a backpack with several light dresses, giving a youthful and comfortable image. It goes a long way with All Star. One model that is on the rise are those of ethnic print. Combines with All Stars, flat shoes and low boots.
Suggested Use: Widely used, for going to college / course / club, for outdoor rides and fast weekend getaways.
Postman / Messenger Bag
The messenger bag was born to support weight and usually has a compartment for most used belongings, as it is a large bag and can be used transversely, says Vanderly Loureiro. The fashion consultant Daniela advises that people of short stature use it transversely, preferably.
What kind of look does it match? Using creativity you can combine everything from romantic style dresses to shorts and shirts. To match, scarpin, moccasin, low boots or Oxford (all will depend on the material of the bag).
Suggested Use: The model fits well for more casual and casual events, such as a trip to the mall.
Medium or small cross bag
Usually they are small bags, have a thin strap and are very practical when you want to carry only the basics and keep your hands free, says consultant Daniela.
What kind of look does it match? As there are many types, from casual to the most sophisticated, there are many ways to use. One of the most popular models is the famous "ballad bag", used at more informal parties and can have sparkles, beads or be made of varnished material. They are combined with lace, transparencies and sparkles. The combined shoes are usually Scarpins and Peep Toe.
Suggested Use: Ballads and parties in general. Sometimes it is also used at weddings, graduations and solemn parties. But the handles are usually thin and metal, with stones or thinner materials.
Wallet
The wallet can have a handle, is larger than party clutches, is thin and malleable and can be worn both day and night, says the fashion consultant.
According to Vanderly, they serve as documents, in addition to our basic beauty kit, and for this reason, are used for work and are very efficient even when we have to carry it as a binder and other papers.
What kind of look does it match? The wallets combine with ballad looks, such as bandage dresses and skirt looks. On the feet, half-pumps, heeled sandals and anabelas look great with the style
Suggested Use: It is recommended to use in situations where you do not need and do not want to carry many items, as only a few items, such as a mobile phone, keys, documents, a small diary and money / cards will fit.
Party clutch
According to Vanderly, the clutch is a smaller, more structured wallet and is a piece used for nightly events such as cocktails, ceremonies and formal moments. They are preferred at weddings.And if they have an interesting shape, embroidery or different details, they can value a simple dress giving a touch of sophistication to the look.
Because it is only slightly larger than the size of the hand, it only carries the basics: key chain, lipstick, money / cards, documents and mobile phone, Daniela guides.
What kind of look does it match? It should be noted that this bag is suitable for formal parties such as weddings and graduations. Therefore, the material of the bag should be coordinated with the material of the dress. But avoid combining similar items, for example: a sequin bag should be worn with a plain fabric dress, a sequin dress should be combined with a more basic clutch without many applications. If you like to play with looks, you can even mix prints between the clutch and the dress.
Suggested Use: Formal parties, such as weddings, graduations, cocktails, 15-year parties and gala dinners.
Now that you know how to use each template, invest in the ones you like best that really meet your needs and suit your personal taste.
