As you age, you will notice that your hips are no longer suitable for wearing jeans or trousers. That's why belts were invented. You just have to choose the right one for you and wear it following these tips.
Steps
Step 1. Find a good quality belt
You can find it in different types of clothing stores. If you want a vintage one, look at thrift stores. To get started, you will only need one.
Step 2. Choose a versatile one
Look for one that fits your clothes. It could be black or brown, with a simple design. Over time you can change it.
Step 3. Make sure it fits your pants
Try it directly on pants, with shirt inside or outside. A good belt should buckle in the center hole, but if you're growing fast, get a bigger one. It should be tight enough to hold your pants, but not too tight that you can't breathe.
- It may seem strange at first, but you will get used to it.
- Remember to match the color of your belt with that of your shoes. Black shoes, black belt, etc.
Step 4. Consider a hand strap
It tends to fasten to pants with more precision than with holes. However, they are a bit out of date.
Over time, the material will lose its original shape and you will have to tighten it more. Wear it, if you want, with jeans or shorts
Step 5. Give the belt time to adjust
A new belt will be a little too stiff and uncomfortable. Be patient, it will improve over time.
Step 6. Wear it as much as you can
Try to wear it every time you wear pants. Men are required to wear it in many situations, especially at work.
Even if you don't need a belt to hold up your pants, consider it as something that completes your look, even if you take the shirt out of the jeans
Step 7. Love your new style
When you have become familiar with the belt you can buy others of different colors and materials. You will find some that are thicker or thinner, made of leather or not, black or brown etc.
Advice
- Belts with symbols and prints are ok but not suitable for all types of clothing.
- If you find the belt uncomfortable, try wearing a t-shirt under your shirt, or tucking the shirt into your pants. A tight belt on tight pants will be very uncomfortable. Use pants that are less tight at the waist and wear a suitable belt.
- If you go to a private school with a strict dress code, try different combinations with the belt, even if you need to be elegant.
- Don't wear a worn belt, buy a new one.
- Wear a belt even with shorts, but don't tuck your shirt inside, otherwise you'll look like a nerd. If you like that style, go for it!
- You will look more stylish if you don't wear the same belt every day.
Warnings
- If you're wearing the belt just for style, and not to hold your pants up, choose one that's not too tight.
- Do not use the belt to attach too many objects. Maybe a knife is ok if you use it for work, otherwise use the pockets to carry cell phones, mp3 players, etc.
