Belt Shy???

Being a Fashion Stylist I meet alot of women with Belt Phobia...So lets get to it and solve this very real fashion dilemma. Belts can resolve torso bumps, change the way an outfit looks, define your tiny waist (even if you think you don't have one) and they can end up being your best styling friend. But that being said, It has to be the right belt, right fit, and paired with the right outfit. So lets go over a few guidelines.

1. Find your Sweet spot: Position is the most important thing. And your sweet spot will be different than others depending on your body type. The easiest way is to find the smallest part of your waist. Whether that is below your bust or just above your belly button. If you have a little extra weight around the midriff, positioning the belt just above the waistline is best. If you are long waisted wearing the belt high is best. If you are busty and short wasted the best way is usually positioning a belt lower than the waistline in front and at waist level in the back.



2. Width of Belt: If you are long waisted you can usually get away with wide and skinny belts. If you are short waisted narrower belts tend to look the best since wider belts take up all of your waistline. If you have an undefined waist wearing a narrow belt lower in front will usually do the trick and give you a waistline.

3. Comfort: Elastic is your best friend. If you can purchase belts with elastic they will give you way more comfort and stretch with you throughout the day. Also one of my favorite thing about elastic is you can wear them high, low or smack in the middle and it will always stretch and fit! No need for 3 different sizes in belts just so you can wear them on different areas of your waist. Take some time and try them out with different outfits. I’m not saying that belts are essential. You can absolutely look fab sporting a beltless style, but they do add many more options to your existing wardrobe.
