A stylish image is not only the right choice of clothes. It largely depends on the selection of accessories that give the outfit completeness and individuality. One of these things is a belt. Recently, it is more often used as a decorative element, rather than for its intended purpose. And in the new season he is at the peak of popularity. Do you want to transform your usual look? Accessorize it with a fashionable belt!
Fashionable belts for the 2019 season
Currently, fashion is so multifaceted that it does not have a specific framework. Therefore, every representative of the fairer sex will be able to find a stylish belt to suit her taste. You can wear it with any clothes: dress, coat, tunic and so on. There are no restrictions on color, texture and decor, so you can safely show your imagination when putting together an outfit. I'll tell you about the most fashionable belts of the season.
Corsets
Wide black belt with laces will not only help create a clearer silhouette, but will also visually reduce the size of your waist.
Currently, it can be worn not only over a dress, tunic or shirt, but also on a coat.
Attention!
You can use different colors and textures. But when creating a contrast with the base, you should be especially careful, since such a move can reduce your height and make your figure more massive.
For the youth trend, it is permissible to combine this type of belt with skinny jeans and a white blouse or shirt.
It will also be appropriate in an office outfit, complementing a pencil skirt.
Not wide
Many designers offer fashionistas to complement delicate, romantic dresses with classic men's belts.
This technique will only emphasize your femininity and fragility. In addition, the method of decorating the buckle with rhinestones and beads was a good move.
Made from thin metal
One of the new products that is gaining popularity is a narrow belt made of a thin metal strip.
Designers recommend complementing a dark evening dress with such an accessory. This will give your appearance a special chic and help you stand out from the crowd.
For an everyday look, you can use a belt in the form of a chain with a buckle.
Rough metal will enhance your feminine charm and add a piquant twist to your outfit.
Keychains
This variation differs from others in its multi-layering and decoration in the form of a keychain.
This solution will work for those who love unusual moves and bold outfits. It is best to combine this item with clothes of a simple cut and an adjacent silhouette.
Logo
Many manufacturing companies began to make buckles in the form of their distinctive sign (logo).
And fashionistas liked this decision. After all, such an accessory can be combined with almost all elements of your wardrobe; it is truly universal.
With a secret
A popular innovation this year is unusual belts with hidden pockets or intricate clasps.
Some of them are intricately tied, others hide a small pocket for a knife on the back, and others have an invisible clasp. Another variation is a bag (pocket) attached to the belt for small items.
Tips for choosing and using belts
Without a doubt, this item is a must-have in your wardrobe! But before you get a finished and beautiful outfit, you need to choose the right accessory. To make the process easier, we offer several recommendations.
- Classic leather belts do not differ in appearance between men's and women's versions. The only difference is in the way they are worn: for women, when fastening, the buckle remains on the right, and the free tip on the left.
- If you are short, you should give preference to a narrow strap. It will help visually lengthen your legs.
- If your height allows you to use a fairly wide belt, choose a darker color. It will visually narrow your waist.
- If you lower a medium size belt below the waistline, this move will also help elongate your silhouette. This looks especially good on fitted clothing. By combining such a belt with a loose-fitting blouse, you can hide imperfections in the waist area.
- Don't tighten the belt too tight. Two fingers should fit freely between the body and the accessory. If you neglect this, you can visually add a couple of extra pounds to your figure.
- The free tip of the belt should not hang too low, so it should be selected strictly according to size. The free end of the thin strap can be tied beautifully.
- A black or brown belt will go with any element of your wardrobe, as these colors are universal.
- When choosing a corset model, you should avoid heavily decorated items.
Even if you haven’t used belts in your outfits before, it’s worth correcting this situation, because this accessory can greatly transform your appearance for the better.
