Belts aren’t just to hold your pants up — it’s a fun accessory to pull your outfit together and bring out your personal style. But how do you know if you’re choosing the right belt for the right occasion?
SELECTING A BELT
Adding a belt to a piece of clothing can be a creative and inexpensive way to style your
look. Fashion belts are very versatile and can be worn on a casual day out at the park
or to a formal dinner party.
When choosing a belt, you need to make sure of three things: belt length, types of pants
and shoes. If you’re wearing a pair of jeans or pants, the belt should fit easily in the belt
loops and sit at your waist. Or if you’re wearing a dress, belts work wonders too to
complement the color of your dress as well as accentuate your figure.
TYPES OF BELTS
There are many belts out there in different designs and sizes. The general rule of thumb
is to know what kind of event you’re wearing for: is it a casual or formal event?
If the belt is as wide as your thumb, it’s a dress piece. Any belt size wider than your
thumb is considered casual. If you’re still unsure, remember that formal belts are usually
glossy and reflective, while casual ones are flat and muted. Brown and black leather belts are classic accessories for men and women, but you can go for non-leather ones of the same color.
