I'm 5, <100 lbs. and I just got the jumbo, lamb, GHW. Both DH and SA said it looks great on me. Personally, i think it depends on how confident you are on wearing big bags and how it makes you feel. If you're not used to seeing big bags on yourself, you'll feel awkward and that shows. I suggest wearing silhouettes that elongate frame when you try jumbo in store.

I carry a jumbo, it holds just enough of my necessities and I think it's more "utilitarian" than the medium.

The medium bag looks much more chic when you are stepping out on the town. The models I see in magazines are usually carrying a medium. They strike a very chic figure. It represents that kind of carefree lifestyle which requires just a cell, keys and cards. :)

It depends on how much stuff you carry. I have a black jumbo for my first chanel and almost got a medium red for my second. I think either colors are versatile, but if you want to use your bag as an accent piece, then go for red.:heart:

my first flap was a medium and i thought the size was great for daytime...until i bought a jumbo and realized that the larger size really is better for daytime since it holds a lot more things! now i mainly use the medium for going out at night.

Jumbo b/c you'll want to use your Chanel everyday and medium will be too small. If you get a medium you'll end up getting a jumbo anyway. At least that's how I felt! :smile1:

Then you can always get a WOC or large wallet to use as an everyday wallet and double as a clutch for special occasions.

Definitely a Jumbo which I have just gotten. I intend to use it often...for work...so Jumbo will be a better size while M/L will be good for dinners, formal events...so it really depends what you intend to use your Chanel for...

Maxi!! Because I like big bags and the jumbo looks bad on me.

But it depends what size you think you would use the most. Do you carry a lot of things in your bag? I would say a jumbo because the smaller sizes are more for the evening :]
