Learn how to choose a wide belt and how to wear it and you will immediately notice the positive effects!
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Choose a Wide Belt
Step 1. Determine if it fits your waist size
Wide belts are usually suitable for different body types, because they can add curves to a woman with a narrow waist or define the waistline for a woman with a wide waist. They can also help support and control excess volume in that area.
Step 2. Consider the material
The beauty of wide belts is that they can be found, or made, in any type of material. You can choose leather for a classic look, but you can also find belts made from any type of fabric. Those with the elastic are an excellent choice, because the elastic will move with your body and make it more comfortable to wear.
To create a quick belt, tie your favorite silk scarf around your waist, adjusting its width and ends
Step 3. Put on different belts
Instead of choosing a wide belt, opt for two or three thin belts to wear at the same time - they will create the same effect.
Ribbons can also make great belts. Knot some ribbons of different shades of the same color, to create the effect of a wide belt
Step 4. Find a belt that matches your personal style
A simple, smooth and monochromatic one, it adapts to different looks and can also help define a large waistline. You could also try one with decorations, such as studs, beads, stones, or a large buckle. A bold belt with decorative prints can also help make simple attire stand out.
You will need to try on different types of belts to figure out which one works with your look - the belt should enhance it and not contrast it
Part 2 of 2: Wear a Wide Belt
Step 1. Choose the place on your waist where you want the belt to rest
If you place it just below the bust line, you will highlight your chest and enhance your curves and waistline. Most wide belts are worn higher above the pelvic bones and around the waist to define the mid-torso if it is wide and thus break the torso.
If you have a short bust, you may have the impression that the belt occupies too large a part of the torso. In this case it is better to wear a slightly thinner one
Step 2. Wear a loose belt with a loose shirt or dress
If you have a shirt or dress that is a little too loose and that hides your shape, wear a wide belt: it will help define the waistline and give a little structure to a loose look. Similarly, if you opt for an improvised casual look, a wide belt can make it a little more refined.
Keep the belt on your natural waist. If you wear it under your pelvis, it will help to elongate your bust silhouette, especially if you have a loose-fitting shirt or dress
Step 3. Wear it with a cardigan
If your clothing is made up of different parts, such as trousers, t-shirt and jacket or cardigan, a wide belt can help bring the different elements together. Wear it over or under the cardigan.
In case your look is a little dull or monochromatic, the belt can be a way to spice it up. Choose one in a bright color or with a particular pattern, so that your style does not appear boring
Step 4. Harmonize the belt within your look
Don't think that it should always be the center of attention. Choose one of the same color as your shirt or dress: it will break up the texture and design of your clothes without contrasting it.
