Choose the belt
The right way to wear the belt
- Always choose a belt of your size. Measure your waist size to know how long the belt should be.
- The belt must be adapted to your morphology and your build. If you have extra pounds or if, on the contrary, you have a wasp waist, you will not wear it in the same way.

- Pay attention to how much money you spend: before buying a belt, check what material it is made of. If you want to buy a very original model, ask yourself if you can combine it with everything or if it might tire you soon. But if you really fell in love with it, and if it is an inexpensive belt, do not hesitate to buy it.
Choose the belt according to your morphology
> If you are androgynous. Use it to give a touch of femininity to your style, enhancing your waistline. Choose a rather large and eye-catching belt. Try to wear it as often as possible, matching it with all clothes. Give preference to high-waisted skirts and trousers, which emphasize your shapes by wrapping them at the waist. You can also put the belt on the jacket and coat, to give a touch of class to your style.
> If you are small. You need to streamline your silhouette by using accessories. Be careful, therefore, not to wear a belt that is too wide which would risk making you look shorter. Instead, opt for a simple thin leather belt, to combine with a nice pair of heels. If you are wearing a tunic or dress, put the belt just below the bust - this will make your torso and legs appear longer.
> If you have generous breasts, round thighs and waist. Your Mediterranean shapes make men dream, but sometimes they can give rise to complexes. To avoid the balloon effect, therefore, opt for a colored belt, feminine but not too wide. To enhance your breasts and lengthen your bust, put the belt right under your breasts. This way you will also hide your hips that are a little too wide. Wear it with high-waisted jeans to make your legs look longer. Enhance your round hips by letting it slide over your buttocks.
A belt for every style
> Retro style. The past decades are undoubtedly your source of inspiration for clothing. Avoid trendy boutiques and prefer vintage shops. On 50s dresses or 70s tunics, you can match your belt however you want, provided to respect the style you have chosen. You could even try to mix the styles ... The ideal belt? A leather belt, an old military belt, or even an old crocodile belt, very vintage.
> Glamorous style Do you follow the latest trends and is every occasion good to be elegant and feminine? You are a glamorous woman. Your belt, therefore, must be chosen with great care to always be perfectly matched to your clothes and other accessories. But be careful not to make your look dull. You can also wear the belt over the coat, whether it is a trench coat or a Saharan jacket. In this case, the belt must be of patent leather, black, cream or red and must imperatively be wide and with a rectangular buckle. For a more classic style, instead, choose a thin belt with a small metal buckle.
> Hippychic style. Your style is very casual: you wear whatever comes your way. However, your wardrobe is full of clothes inspired by the 60s and 70s. Blouses, baggy jeans, checked shirts, long and colorful skirts… The belt that's right for you is very simple: in woven leather or with a round metal buckle, which will also add a touch of romanticism to your style. To make it even more free and light, try tying a scarf around your waist on a dress or passing it through the loops of your jeans!
> Ethnic style. You are a true traveler and you like to return from every trip with a typical garment of the country you have visited. Ethnic blouses, African prints or Indian tunics… your style is mestizo and very colorful, so the belt must also be ethno-chic. Choose one made of natural leather, very rough, preferably brown. If you are flirtatious and refined, opt for a belt decorated with sequins, mirrors or pearls, always remaining in the ethnic style.
