The ultimate guide to women's waist belts Part 2

The ultimate guide to women's waist belts Part 2

 

So, let's look at the most common blunders people make when wearing them.
 
1.    Belt and shoe color are not matching
While this is a no-brainer, it is also the most common belt-related error that fashionistas make. And this is a major no-no when it comes to formal clothing. Wearing a black belt and brown leather shoes to work is not acceptable. Your belt and shoes should be as far as possible the same color. A leather belt with rhinestones from our collection can be worn with various other color shoes made from animal skin, suede, or canvas to add oomph.
 
2.    The incorrect belt for the occasion
Another typical blunder you can make is pairing formal clothing with the wrong belts. A slim belt (about 3.4 cm) may be the proper way to go with formal clothing  such as dress pants, cotton trousers, and dark jeans. Wider belts (about 3.9 cm) may usually be best for casual clothing like denim and some types of trousers, however for many dressy occasions our embellished belts will be just the right touch with long flowy skirts and dresses that could use a little cinch at the waist.
 
3.    Wearing scuffed belts
Worn-out belts not only look untidy but can also make your entire outfit look horrendous. Many are prone to overlooking details such as a belt's inner and outer sections falling apart, buckles with scratches that have lost their polish, and ripped edges. It is critical to get a high-quality belt that will last a long time. Genuine leather belts are more durable than imitation leather belts.
 
4.    Wearing a belt of the incorrect size
Another blunder you can make when wearing leather handmade belts is choosing ones that are either too long or too short. Your belt should not be so long that it has a loose hanging tail, nor should it be so short that putting it through the first loop is difficult. Your belt should go under the first belt loop after the buckle and under the second belt loop as a general rule of thumb.

 

How to Style Your Waist Belt with Different Outfits:

A waist belt is a versatile accessory that can instantly elevate any outfit. Here are some tips on how to style your waist belt with different outfits:

 

   # WITH DRESSES 

     

    Pair a waist belt with a flowy dress to cinch in your waist and create a flattering silhouette. A thin leather belt looks great with a floral summer dress, while a wider belt adds definition to a maxi dress. For a dressier occasion, choose a metallic or embellished waist belt to add some glamour.

 

 # WITH SKIRTS

    STYLE YOUR BELT WITH SKIRTS 

    A waist belt can also be worn with skirts. For a classic look, wear a leather belt with a pencil skirt. A corset belt looks great with a high-waisted A-line skirt, while a wrap belt adds a bohemian touch to a maxi skirt.

 

   #WITH JEANS

   

    Transform a casual outfit by adding a waist belt to your jeans. A wide belt looks great with high-waisted jeans and a tucked-in blouse, while a skinny belt is perfect for wearing with skinny jeans. A chain belt adds some edge to a distressed denim look.

 

   # WITH BLAZERS

   

    Add soe structure to a blazer by cinching it at the waist with a belt. This creates a feminine silhouette and adds some visual interest to an otherwise classic look. Try a leather belt with a black blazer for a sleek and sophisticated outfit.

 

  # WITH JACKETS AND OVER COATS

    

    For a statement look, layer a waist belt over a jacket. This works especially well with oversized or unstructured jackets. A corset belt over a denim jacket creates a cool, edgy look, while a wide belt over a coat adds some polish to a winter outfit.

 

  # WITH JUMPSUITS

   

    A jumpsuit can be transformed into a chic outfit with the addition of a waist belt. A thin belt looks great with a tailored jumpsuit, while a wide belt is perfect for a flowy, bohemian style jumpsuit. Try a metallic or embellished belt for a dressier occasion.

 

When choosing a waist belt, consider the material, width, and color. For a classic look, go for a leather belt in a neutral color such as black, brown or tan. For a pop of color, choose a bright belt that contrasts with your outfit. A metallic belt can add some shine to a simple outfit, while a printed belt can add some texture.

 

Final thoughts

In conclusion, a waist belt is a versatile accessory that can be worn with a variety of outfits. By choosing the right belt and styling it correctly, you can create a flattering silhouette and elevate your style. Experiment with different types of belts and have fun accessorizing your outfits.
