Today's post is a request from one of my good friends and it’s about Belts.
Some history;
Belts have been primarily associated with male clothing from the 17th century but both sexes used them on and off depending on current fashion.
In most of my posts you probably notice how I always talk about body types - but learning what your own personal body type is, is very important for been able to dress yourself appropriately and this is true for when choosing the right belt for your shape; so here we go
Pear Shape/Hour Glass
If you have a pear shape or any shape that is a bit hippy you really want to wear something that has a waistline in it and if it doesn’t, you want to wear a belt that shows off your waist - so a cinched waist belt would be appropriate in this case
If you have a post baby belly - or just a big stomach a wide belt around the middle of your waist actually slims down your stomach
Belts for Short Torsos
Short torso women want to look longer and leaner - you want to wear a belt that is the same color as your outfit. A different belt color will give the illusion of cutting your torso in half.
Belts for Skinny Frames
A medium sized or thin belt will keep your body in proportion for the skinny ladies. Thin belts look great with tailored pants with a tucked in blouse
Still, don’t always listen to me - no matter your body type still experiment with different widths and styles of belts - Rules are meant to be broken
Till next time - Remain in a Fashion State of Mind
