It occurred to me the other day that I love belts. They have a way of pulling a look together and giving it that je ne sais quoi. I decided to play dress up for a moment this afternoon and try on some of my favorites to show how a wrap around the waist can complete an outfit. Here are a few looks that IMO look way better with a belt than they would without.
There are common misconceptions that belts are not flattering or that you have to be skinny to wear one. Neither is true. in fact just the opposite. Belts provide a tailored look to garments that would otherwise add more volume to one’s physique. Now, free-flowing, loose-fitting, unstructured styles are a look in and of themselves but in general, you will look more slender if you accentuate your waist. It’s true. The overall appearance of an outfit is cleaner and the silhouette more form-fitting which is flattering no matter your size. Having said all that, you should 100% wear what your feel comfortable in and if that mean no belt then, no belt. You do you. What are your thoughts about belting things up?

who made that purple dress, it’s so science meets fashion!
It’s a Japanese designer – Aoyama Itchome. I bought it years ago at Bird!
