There are many hidden messages in the way in which women carry their purses (purse behavior). Purses are a gender identifier. They reveal a great deal about female personality, taste, and creativity. A woman’s preferred purse says a lot about her. Purses compliment outfits, carry essentials on the move, and are reliable when women need them the most.
According to body language experts, purse behavior can say a lot about a woman’s natural personality. Not many women put much thought into how they carry their purse. It may seem like an accidental choice. Whether a woman is reserved, spontaneous, fashion-forward, or anything in-between, the way she carries her purse can explain the way she views her world.
Cross-body with purse behind- The cross-body style behind the body boasts an
urban warrior with a clear goal. Your confidence, independent self-image and
functional ways are what are most important. You know what you want, and where
you need to be. You are calm, cool, composed, and trusting of others. You
don’t concern yourself with too much worry, and move through life in a casual
and relaxed manner. Your mind is more fixated on your sense of purpose then to
worry about routine things like possessions.
Cross-body with purse in front-You want to be as free as a bird, and want to have
easy accessibility to your things. It indicates a person who wants
to move through the world without feeling encumbered. You see a lot of busy,
big city people enjoy embracing the cross body trend. This method allows for
the most convenience to be able to get into your bag, but until then you want
to move through the world easily without feeling encumbered.
Function is more important than
appearance in any cross-body purse. Some people carry and use this, and they
think it is the safest, easiest, and most secure if you are a walking a lot.
Cross-body style in front of the body showcases a form of a shield. You’re most
likely shy, reserved, and have a cautious personality.
No purse at all-You are a person of
privilege and are used to others carrying the load for you, be it a family
member, or friend. This is indicative of the most self-assured of all
personalities, and shows you are extremely secure in your own identity and not
defined by the things you wear.
Over
one shoulder with purse close to
body-You’re
practical and need others to prove that they are worthy of your
trust. As someone mainly looking to get things done, you don’t like
to waste your time with little things. Your cautious tendency means that you
feel the need to be smart in public and watch out for yourself.
When
you’re wearing your bag over your shoulder, you’re sending a message that says
you don’t need to hide behind anything. You’re very driven, practical and
possess freedom of movement so you like to get things done. If you tend to
tightly grip your bag, it may mean you are fearful of new things or suffer from
low self-esteem.
Over one shoulder with purse
swinging freely-You are characterized by your
spontaneous, carefree attitude and like to take life as it comes. People know
you as being confident and self-assured, and as someone who likes a certain
amount of freedom in their life. People know you as being confident and
self-assured, and as someone who likes a certain amount of freedom in their
life.
The over one shoulder with the
bag swinging freely indicates confidence, but also ease, safety, and
functionality. It’s not showing the brand of the bag for display. Instead it’s
being used for more practical reasons. It's practical as the purse
is out of your way and leaves both hands free to get on with the task at hand.
A large purse suggests practicality. You have an active life and are prepared
for any eventuality.
Purse in front of body with both
hands-This indicates shyness and a
need to protect oneself. You may suffer from anxiety in social scenarios and
prefer to stay out of the spotlight. Young women do this in public situations
where they don’t know people, or in stressful situations. It may also mean you
suffer from anxiety in social scenarios and prefer to stay out of the
spotlight. It may also happen when you don’t know too many people, or are in a
new and alien surrounding.
Purse in the crook of the elbow-You put priority on status, authority, and
position. While you may sometimes be referred to as “high maintenance,” you
know what you expect to receive from the world. It indicates power, honor,
elegance, and style. You aren't afraid of being seen. You might get termed as
‘high-maintenance’, but you just know what you want from life and tend to stick
by it.
In any situation, projecting a confident, upright
posture is extremely important. Aim to stand up straight with your shoulders
back and you will instantly send the message that you are in control. The trick
is to imagine squeezing an orange in-between your shoulder blades – this will
help bring your shoulders back and down – projecting a very confident posture.
Don't be rigid in your movements. The key is to look relaxed and at ease.
Purse in your hand-This style exudes a more sophisticated and
put-together quality. People think of you as being assertive,
well-organized, and efficient. This is the most comparable to carrying a
briefcase and can communicate the importance of the person’s job. Your
ambitious attributes shine through, and you excel at focusing on the task at
hand.
People tend to carry a purse this
way when they 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 accentuate your clothing. When you wear your bag held in
hand, it signals that you’re relaxed and not overly concerned with your
appearance.
“The beauty and the fashion industry want to control you, and the
way that they do it
[is] through your body. So once they
control your body they control your purse and the products you buy. It’s a
fantastic strategy and it's working.” (Anita Roddick) [i]
