5 Fall Handbag Trends That Flatter Full Figured Women
Haute couture is not always friendly to the plus-sized woman, especially a mature full-figured woman. That’s why I took to the runways to find the handbag trends influencing shopper opinions this fall. What I found will astonish you!
The biggest handbag takeaways are interesting textures, shapes, and an abundance of hot pink Barbie designs. While you may question how these features fit in with a mature wardrobe, I assure you there is a little something for everyone. Not to mention, a little flair is always a good idea.
The full-figured woman needs a handbag that shows off her figure—generally, the bigger the bag, the better for us plus-sized ladies. However, there are a few exceptions. Pear-shaped women look best with a shorter shoulder bag to compensate for larger hips. In contrast, an apple shape works best with a crossover. The hourglass figures will find a great fit with a longer bag to fit their silhouette.

Fun With Fur
You may ask how fur can mix in with the mature woman’s wardrobe, but the plethora of fun bags for fall will surely change your mind.

The Chains Have It
Large bits of hardware are in for fall. The chunky chains will draw attention away from trouble spots. Plus, these designs are incredible!
Barbiecore!
I know you must think this trend is crazy. But, the hot pink handbag trend can accentuate an otherwise drab outfit. The hot pink adds a pop of color that flatters any woman.
Boho Hobo Chic
Another trend that seems to cater to young people is the boho chic that has popped up on the runways this fall. However, there are many classic designs that will work with casual outfits.

Giant Totes
I know that the giant tote is perfect for many women. Who doesn’t need the room that a large bag offers? Soft leather is the word this fall, but any large tote will class up your outfits this fall.
