All About Styling Belts

Whether you are holding a skirt up which may be somewhat too big, or seeking to break up a typical skirt-shirt combo, pairing it with a belt is the ideal way to do exactly that. Try picking a belt that's a couple of sizes too big so that you can then fold over the remaining extra, adding texture to your ensemble. Experiment with wrapping the belt directly below your chest, instead of the natural waist point. This will lift your bust and show more waist. Tip: If you would like to wear whatever belt you want without worrying about if it is going to highlight your mid-section, I recommend that you wear it with a stitched top or dress.

You may choose to mix various nuances of the same colour to prevent all matchy-matchy. Visually, the buckle becomes inevitable. The focal point, rather than the finishing touch. And when something with that much contrast comes halfway between the top and underside of your ensemble, the only result is that it cuts you into half.And if you're attempting to look long and lean (and, let us be honest, sexy), that's something you want to prevent. Better to replace the glowing brown belt with a variant cut out of black leather--or possibly a dark brown--which will keep your pants in place without making onlookers doubt your commitment to your fitness center.
