What does your bag say about you?

A bag not only compliments your outfit but also tells people a lot about your fashion sense. Wearing a handbag as a piece of accessory makes you look no less than a diva. Your bag can be an extension of your personality and a part of your identity.

Here are four bags that best describe the wearer’s personality traits:

A sling bag = the taskmaster

This is someone who juggles different tasks all at once and is good at every single one of them. Popular and successful, she is often the ideal candidate for any profession. With an eye for perfection, she is the one to finalise deals in every boardroom meeting. A sling bag can lend a casual as well as a formal vibe based
on the material and the pattern.

A tote = the diva

She carries her bag in the crook of her arm and strikes a game pose whether she is getting out of her car or walking the red carpet. She is absolutely stunning and a confident modern day woman. Totes can hold a variety of things which is often a compulsion for any girl who likes to carry her world wherever she goes.

A backpack = the adventure junkie

Here’s someone who loves road trips and impromptu plans. She lives in the moment and is game for exciting adventurous trips. A passionate adventure junkie, she loves her freedom and space. She is not someone who will settle for the ordinary.

Clutch = the girl next door

Clutch is for someone who believes in simplicity and elegance. Clutch is an accessory that goes well with everything. Whether it is an evening western wear or a heavy brocade saree.

Now that you know that your bag matches your personality. Let us take a look at some of the must-have colours:

• Yellow: If you are heading out with your gal pals this weekend and you want to wear that new summer dress you bought, yellow is the colour for you. Casual and light, this colour adds to the chill vibe that each of us look forward to on the weekends.
• Fushcia: This is one colour that goes unapologetically well with your formal or a chic casual attires. The next time you attend a conference or an office retreat, make sure you have a bag of this colour to turn the tables your way.
• Cream: This is perfect for a girls’ day out or a casual date. It is a relaxing shade if you just want to let your hair down with some friends
• and have a pina colada to beat the heat.
• Merry garnet blue: This colour suits any attire and lends a bit of grace to it. Carrying a blue backpack or a blue laptop bag will have several heads turn your way.
