If the original role of the belt is to hold the pants, it has long since crossed the threshold of utility. Now a fashion accessory in its own right, it goes perfectly with a skirt! To match them well, just be sure to respect the style of your outfit. Avoid excessively marked belts if your skirt has buttons or worked details, and favor tone-on-tone over contrasts to simulate a dress effect and unify the silhouette.
Champion of glamour, the high-waisted belt is never wrong! If you dream of a femme fatale or retro look, accessorize a pencil skirt with a wide belt, preferably tone on tone. Accompany them with a fitted T-shirt, a shirt or a tight sweater and a pair of heels. For a more playful silhouette, choose a short, flared skirt with a black or brown leather belt. Add a loose t-shirt or a bloused shirt, opaque tights, a pair of boots matching the belt, and you're done!
The secret of a bohemian look lies in flexible, undulating outfits, which suggest without revealing... a perfect match for a brown or tan leather belt, preferably weathered and worn! Choose it rather long and roll it up or tie it on a long printed petticoat. Accompany the ensemble with a supple T-shirt in muted colors and fringed, cowboy or biker boots… again, preferably worn and weathered! Finish with a long thin cardigan, you're ready.
And if the belt could also accompany the suit skirt? She knows, and she does it wonderfully, I promise! For a classic work outfit, bet on a straight skirt and neutral colors, matching belt, bag and shoes. If you want to spice up your look, choose a fancy belt, thin, but colored, on a black or gray skirt accompanied by a jacket. Slip a small sweater or shirt underneath. Even more daring? Layer a cardigan over a white shirt and straight skirt, then belt the ensemble over the cardigan!
The most trendy tips? Wear the belt over your outfit! Slip a large scarf around your neck, dropping the two sides at the front, and tuck them under a thin belt. The scarf seems to be an integral part of your look and connects the skirt with the top. In winter, do the same with a plaid, a scarf, even a poncho or a coat, with high boots to warm your skirt.
