3 New Ways To Wear A Belt

A belt is a great accessory to have in your closet because it's both fashionable and functional. If your pants aren't fitting quite right, a belt is there to help you out. There are more ways to wear a belt than just through the loops of your jeans. Give these 3 ways a try next time you're looking for a new way to wear a belt.

1. With a pencil skirt and blouse.

This classic look is perfect for the office or a formal dinner meeting. The pencil skirt can be worn by all shapes and sizes and gives you that beautiful, hour-glass figure admired by so many. Pairing it with a blouse elevates the look into one that's sophisticated and professional.

To achieve this look, tuck a blouse into a pencil skirt. Cinch your favorite belt around your waist to really accentuate the midsection and define your curves.

2. Over a dress.

Are you looking for a way to transform that sundress from last season? Try adding a belt over top to mix things up a bit. You can do this with any type of dress, even looser-fitting maxi dresses.

A pair a belt with a maxi dress, place the belt in between your chest and belly button and fluff the top of the dress out a bit. This transforms the dress into one with an empire waist, giving it a totally new look.

3. Over a blazer.

The blazer is the ultimate office attire. It looks professional but is also functional because blazer's usually contain pockets for storing your keys, cell phone, or other small essentials.

While wearing a blazer unbuttoned is a great business-casual look, buttoning it up and putting a belt on top gives you a more formal look. For something a bit sexy that can take you from the office to a dinner-date, wear a lace camisole underneath your blazer instead of a blouse.

Finding The Right Belt

The right belt should be durable and stylish and able to coordinate with several different outfits. Neutral colors like black and brown are perfect for this. Belts made from leather are the most durable. To elevate a leather belt even further, purchase one with jewels or one that's embossed for an extra-special look.
