Belts can work with just about any outfit…you just need the right belt and know the correct way to wear it. Belts work with day or work Dresses, Separates, Evening dresses or Jackets…just by adding a belt you can transform your entire look. Belts are the chicest accessory of the season, so to make sure you are on trend…here are a couple of pointers. Look for belts with textural or sculptural aspects when pairing with a day dress…This will add a ladylike flair to any ensemble. Be sure to cinch the belt at your natural waist to give your body the right definition. Daylight demands whimsy so try a quirky buckle, a breezy woven style, or even a rope version. When belting separates…Lighter layers call for a more refined look. Opt for a skinny to medium belt, or one with a signature detail such as chains or leather which make it supple enough to drape. A cardigan with a belt and full skirt is always a flattering, feminine option. Belting it up in the evening is all about glam. Evening dresses require a smattering of stones, sequins or blinged out belts to propel this statement into the wee hours. Throw one over a loose or tight dress and easily go from day to night. Many of these belts are ornate enough to stand on their own, so resist the urge for a necklace. Lastly, belts with jackets…a chic and polished tailored look. Accentuate your curves…even in tailored pieces, belt one with a sturdy leather or fabric band to highlight your waist or add a pop of color as an unexpected surprise. A good belt is hard to find…but at least once you find it…you will know how to wear it. Fabulous!!
