What kind of bag should I invest in?
What kind of bag should I invest in? I want something timeless, medium-sized that will stay on my shoulder but is NOT a crossbody. I really love teal, is that an okay color or trendy? I live in the south and I wear mostly blues and greens in lighter shades if I am not wearing black.
Classic bags are timeless and are a good investment. Of course designer, classic bags are expensive but will work just about anytime or anywhere.
There are quality bag brands that are more affordable than designer brands. Do an Internet search for names of “quality bag brands”. Look at tote bags, hobo, bucket and baguette bags in medium size styles.
A colored bag like a teal blue bag would be great to add to your bag wardrobe (if you can find one) since you probably own black bags. A colored bag adds a POP of color to neutral color clothes and a blue bag would look good with the blue and green clothes in your wardrobe.

What style handbags are appropriate for mature women?
When you purchase handbags, the size is critical. The bag should be in sync with the proportion of your body. Mature women can wear any style of handbag if it is in proportion to their size and goes with the clothes they are wearing. It is more fashionable for all women to carry smaller bags in the evening when dressed up and to carry a larger handbag during the daytime (proportionate to their size) to carry all of their necessities.
How to Select a Handbag
Investing in quality is very important when selecting a handbag. A good quality, classic handbag is a simple leather bag without a lot of ornamentation. Make sure that your handbag is well made. The stitching should be secure. The zipper should be strong enough to work properly. Fabric bags should have zippers that do not get caught in the material of the bag. A good quality handbag should last for many years.
What handbag colors are the most versatile?
Brown and black are the handbag colors that are the most versatile. These colors should go with your basic wardrobe neutral colors. A black or brown bag goes with black, brown, grey, navy, brown or beige. If you can only afford one handbag, look for a simple style black or brown bag, without embellishments such as logos, fringe, or metal trim etc. A classic handbag is an investment. Purchase the best quality bag that you can afford.
If your budget allows for another bag and you want to add a POP of color to what you are wearing, a solid color (red, orange, yellow, green, metallic or print) is an options. Such a handbag will work with any neutral color outfit or with most colorful clothing. When selecting a handbag, be sure it is large enough to hold everything you need to carry with you.
