TO ADD A BELT OR NOT TO ADD A BELT
I love belts, countless times they have helped me have a ‘waist,’ and other times, they have given shape to my shapeless dresses. ย But because a belt can also make or break an outfit, it is better to style it properly. ย Characteristics such as the width, color, pattern, material, style, and length of the belt need to be considered when styling any casual or dressy ensemble. ย And as always, a person’s torso length, waist size and height will determine which belt accentuates their specific body shape the best.
YOUR BODY’S PROPORTIONS: Wide belts will shorten a long torso, and look best when added to long dresses. ย If you have a short torso, a wide belt will take up the majority of your torso, and shrink the distance between your chest and hips. ย So sticking to thinner belts is probably the best option.
SHIFT DRESSES: Whenever I find a shift dress that I love, like the one on today’s post, I always try a few thin belts on. ย This dress comes with its own belt, and I removed it to add a metallic copper one. ย Not only does it add a visual interest to the dress, it gives me the hourglass silhouette. ย I know that not adding the belt makes me look a bit shapeless – but I still enjoy the loose look, and wear it often. ย It really just depends on the look you want to wear!
MATCHING: ย You always have the option of matching your belt to your shoes, but you don’t have to. ย The bucket bag that I picked out for this look has a gold o-ring that goes well with the belt. ย Matching simply makes you look polished and put together.
Let’s see both ways below! ๐
