We often spend a lot of time trying to pick out which bag to carry.Whether you like to showcase it in your hand, elbowcrook,or across the shoulder, it's actually not a random decision. According to body language experts, it can say a lot about ourinherentpersonality.
You're practical and need others to prove that they are worthy of your trust. When you meet new people, you look for these signs that they can be trusted. As someone mainly looking to get things done, you don't like to waste your time on little things. Your caution means that you feel the need to be smart in public and watch out for yourself.
Different from the hands-free look, your purse hangs freely on one side of your body, not your front. You are characterized by your carefree attitude and like to take life as it comes. People know you as being confident and self-assured. You don't put priority on designer labels and brand names.
This approach depicts yourflauntingof prestige and authority. You put priority on status and position, and holding a bag like this indicates that you are carrying a purse with an expensive price tag. While you may sometimes be referred to as “high maintenance”, you know what you expect to receive from the world.
This style shows a moresophisticatedand put-together quality. People consider you as beingassertive,well-organized, and efficient. This is the most comparable to carrying a briefcase and can communicate the importance of your job. You also tend to carry a bag this way when you want to attract more attention to the outfit itself—you don't want your purse to be attached to it. Instead, the purse merely becomes a separate accessory to make your clothing more noticeable.
Body language experts refer to this as “The Twofer”, which indicates shyness and a need to protect oneself. You may suffer from anxiety in public and prefer to stay out of the spotlight. Young women often do this in public situations where they don't know people.
You want as much freedom of movement as possible, coupled with a feeling of protection and accessibility. You carry and use cross-body bags and you think it is the safest, easiest, and most secure way to protect yourself if you walk a lot. You can also see this in people who live in big cities and travel a lot.
You are cool and calm. You are also walking with a clear goal in mind. You don't like to concern yourself with the things you have to carry—instead, you're great at shaking off life's burdens.
