Belt It Out!

Hola fashionistas! Ever heard of the proverb, 'it is the small things that matter'? Well the world of fashion sure proves that one true through the simple old belt. Yep, you heard me right, but what’s so special about belts, you ask? Well, loads!  So sit back and enjoy the lesson!

I don’t get belts..How should I wear mine?

Okay no rocket science, this! Let me get this straight.

So there are essentially THREE broad reasons you want to throw in a belt into your outfit.

One, your waistline on your lowers (pants, shorts, skirt) is loose in fit.

  This is the when you can not do without a belt and the emphasis on the look of the it is underplayed. Thus what you need is a sturdy and correct width of belt which would do the job.

Two, your fit is undefined and you want to highlight your waist

  So all you need is the right width to suit your garment. If you are in a dress, look at your length. If it is short and flimsy, a thin, simple belt would work as it would go with the minimalism. On the contrary, even a broad, chunky and showy belt would be a great plan! Also a cloth belt tied around the waist of a loose fitted shirt can do wonders.

Three, your look is drab and you NEED a savior belt to pep things up!

Some looks just shout out their need for a pretty belt.. Don't ignore them!
