The beautiful and sexy Victoria Beckham is usually seen carrying an over-sized hang bag and if reports are to be believed this helps her look thinner. What does a bag has to do with looking thin? We asked designer Pam Mehta to elaborate this trend and help girls look thin:
Is it true that the bigger the bag the slimmer you look?
Yes it’s true. Always pick a large structured bigger bag to balance your curves. If you carry bags that are too small they can make you look bigger than your actual size and if you carry large structured bags you will look thinner.
How does it make you look slimmer?
It helps balance the body curves and cover the waist area with its width.
Victoria Beckham does it, do you think the trend is lacking in India? If yes why?
The trend is slowly but surely picking up in India too. With the influx of trendsetting bag and accessory brands we see more and more big bags in focus to complement the curvaceous Indian woman.
Some tips for carrying big bags?
When you put on a shoulder bag the bottom of the bag will accentuate whatever part of the body it comes near. If it hits your waist it will show your waist and near the empire line it will accentuate the bust area.
What kinds of designs should one pick to look slimmer?
Pick structured hard body purses, rectangular bags, boxy bags, hobo bags and totes in darker and neutral colours.
Best brands for big bags?
Lots of Indian accessory brands are making excellent bags for women and you can pick them from local stores or flea markets. International brands like Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, Etro and Bottega Veneta are truly epic in bringing trendy big bags.
