Here’s how to use different types of belts

17 Jul Here’s how to use different types of belts

Using different types of belts can have a significant impact on how your figure appears. Here’s how to use them to stylise your silhouette:

1. To make your legs appear longer: Wear the belt at waist level. This creates an optical illusion that elongates the legs.

2. To elongate the torso: Place the belt at hip level. This helps elongate the torso, although it may shorten the length of the legs slightly.

3. For girls with narrow hips: Opt for large, wide belts worn at the hips. Adornments like studs can add an extra touch.

4. For girls with wide hips: Avoid wearing belts on the hips. However, if necessary, choose thin belts in neutral tones and wear them at the waist to focus attention on it and disguise the width of the hips.

5. For girls with a straight figure: Use belts at waist level with flared or flowing garments on the upper body to create an hourglass silhouette and enhance the waist.

6. To appear taller: Position the belt high, such as at the waist or just below the chest, to elongate the figure.

7. For very tall girls who don’t want to accentuate their height: It’s best to wear the belt at hip level to avoid adding further length to the figure.

Remember that belts always draw attention, so choose their placement carefully according to your needs. Avoid placing them directly on the belly if you want to conceal it, and be aware that adornments can add volume to the area they’re placed on. Opt for thin, plain belts in muted colours to camouflage unwanted volume.
