This season’s trend and last seasons essential item; oversized handbags. Celebrities are rarely seen without them and it seems like most of the fashion world is in competition to carry the largest weight on their shoulder Are we trying to prove to the world how strong we are? Of course not!
The accessory that hit our high streets along with over sized jewellery and under sized skinny jeans is an absolute must have, looks very trendy and is admittedly extremely handy for carrying just about anything! Women can now (not so effortlessly) lug their lunchboxes, mobile phones, make up cases and even laptops around with them all day. All this, and undoubtedly it looks good!
Putting all these fashionable benefits aside; actually how comfortable is the oversized bag? And more to the point how much is this trend damaging our backs?
The fashionable bags that we carry around unbalanced on one shoulder all day are causing a severe amount of damage to our spines. Carrying around these excessively heavy handbags can lead to muscle imbalance and nerve problems, which essentially means a lot of shoulder, back and neck pain! The pain caused by back disorders can become unbearable and it can take a long time to correct any damage.
Problems don’t just stem from the fact that women are now carrying with them weight heavy enough to bring a new meaning to the phrase packing everything but the kitchen sink. The fact that women are carrying all this all on only one shoulder adds to the massive concern.
To carry the large weight of a typical oversized handbag safely it should be distributed evenly. I can only do as much as suggest that we do not fall victims to fashion.
After all, does a rucksack really look that bad?
