The same goes for the belt as for the entire look:for those who wish to lengthen the silhouette, avoid too marked horizontal lines. In other words ? To give an impression of continuity and lengthen the legs, forget the wide and contrasting belts! Choose thin and discreet belts, preferably matching the color of your pants. Choose a height of 3 cm on average, and only match the belt to your shoes or your handbag if they themselves match your outfit.
Good news, the big ones can afford everything. Wide belt on a skirt or thin on pants, treat yourself! If you want to lose height, prefer wide belts. Also explore the range of contrasts with a colored or patterned belt, why not wear it over a pencil skirt? If you prefer to emphasize your slender silhouette, on the other hand, choose a thin tone-on-tone belt, emphasizing tapered pants with heeled boots.
If you display maddening curves, the belt is your ally! An outfit with a marked waist enhances the curves in the best possible way… provided you choose it well. To emphasize without accentuating, choose a belt that matches your outfit, again, rather than your accessories. Avoid contrasting belts in bright colors. The goal is to outline your curves, rather than cutting the silhouette. If you are small and round, choose thin belts; if you are tall and round, on the other hand, take advantage of wide belts. You like fancy belts, opt for tone-on-tone details, embroidery, engravings or braided belts, but always without too much contrast.
Very thin or really thin, only your perception of the silhouette counts. Would you like to give the illusion of a fuller silhouette? Choose a thin belt to wear on the hips and smock a tunic or shirt over carrot pants. If you like your line and prefer to emphasize it, bet on a wide belt and a fitted outfit. High-waisted skirt or skinny jeans, wide tied belt and heels will sublimate your creeper build.
A belt occupies the space between the chest and the hips. Fine, it barely emphasizes, wide, it occupies up to 10 cm in height... Result? By reducing the space between the waist and the chest, a wide belt makes the bust appear shorter, while a thin belt, on the contrary, lengthens it. Pay attention, therefore, to wide belts with a generous chest, which accentuate the impression of volume. Small busts, on the other hand, can benefit from the effect, as can long busts.
