IMO, the bigger bag does make one look slimmer lol (I’m 5’2; broad shoulder; medium build; about a Chanel36; Dior 38;US 4-6. If I wear a Kelly, it’s usually sellier, and it’s almost always casual. But, last pic is a 28 box Kelly retourne with jeans. And, here’s an older pic with shorts:

Nice comparison of all the bag sizes, my fav is the prune 32 kelly… i always thought 32 sellier is very big and formal but u carry it very well casually

Great tip to wear the K32 with a shorter strap! It looks fantastic hitting a bit higher. I will have to try this.

@880 these reference photos are so very helpful! Love how you styled everything. I have a 28 on my wishlist (maybe a 25 if it's not too small for me) as all I have right now are 32s.

Thank you @horselove , @tinkerbell68, @nicole0612 , @WingNut , all !

@WingNut , I think you could easily carry a 25 or 28. My new favorite is the sac Kelly elan 28, and I never thought that I would return to a short shoulder carry. But it’s actually roomy, sleek, and convenient. In my pics, oddly the 28Ks look quite large and the 25K small. Maybe it’s the angle. The 25 is fine unless I need to carr6 stuff for DH lol.

@nicole0612 , I prefer wearing a high crossbody or simply hand carry. I think it’s more flattering (I have a long torso, short leg) and more secure.
