Which do you prefer?

Boxy for work, slouchy for home.

Helpful Wink

Round here, boxy, "posh lady" bags with gold coloured hardware (not necessarily expensive ones, just from new look etc) are what 14-16 year old girls use as school bags. Not in posh school either. Also, super-done contouring makeup and brows. So, for me, using a slouchy bag marks me out as older - which is fine, because I am.

Slouchy, always. This is about as boxy as I get:

Except for my Cambridge satchel which is obviously quite structured.

Slouchy for all the reasons JDFlplease said!

It's weird, isn't it - I keep standing in the queue in the shops and at the cinema behind girls who look about 15 in cheap leggings, Adidas trainers, a sweatshirt, a messy bun and a little boxy ladylike Michael Kors ripoff!

I do not pretend to understand youth fashion choices! I actually really love the look you describe - think most girls do look awesone in what they put together - but am waaaay to old to pull it off without looking a bit mad.

Toooooo old; I know how to spell really

Is this shape considered boxy?

I wouldn't say that's boxy, more... structured? I really like it

monkeywithacowface · 27/10/2017 07:02

I like that I wouldn't call it boxy
