Belt Guide

This entry is based on the previous post I made about the fashionable belt I received from my friend.

Well since we’re talking about belts now, I saw this article that features tips and guide for those who have fetish for belts.

1. Tailored Belts

Capitalizing on the resurgence of patent leather shoes and accessories, tailored belts are one of the most intriguing looks of the season. Rather than pairing it with formal work wear, try mixing it with ultra-feminine styles such as ruffles, lacy fabrics, and crochet. The slightly rugged element of a tailored belt helps balance out these pretty, very girly styles.

2. Preppy Belts

Preppy belts are perfectly suited to this spring's nautical trend. Look for cute, tailored belts in great colors such as red, black, white, and blue to update your basic shorts or capris. These belts also look great when worn with other "preppy" items such as polo shirts and blazers.

3. Woven Belts

Woven accessories are another hot trend this season. This look works great with bohemian-inspired fashions and the Western-style trends, as well as with classic casual clothing and work wear. Keep the buckle fairly simple to avoid looking like you've gone overboard on cowboy-inspired accessories.

4. Ribbon and Sash Belts

Simple ribbon belts are a great way to add a feminine touch to any wardrobe. Sash belts in global-inspired prints look great paired with long skirts, basic jeans, or capris. Wear these belts tied low at the hip and over long, loose blouses. Ribbon belts also work well when worn cinched over dresses or simple blazers.

5. Wide Belts

The look popularized by trendsetters like Kate Moss continues to dominate this season. Look for wide leather belts that can be worn low on the waist. Tooled leather, embroidery, metal studs, and gorgeous buckles are always a classic look. Because these belts are both durable and timeless, don't be afraid to splurge on something that is unique or handmade.

6. Embellished Belts

Belts adorned with large flowers, butterflies, beads, or stones are a great way to add a bit of feminine flourish to a simple outfit. Pair one of these belts with your favorite pair of jeans and a basic tank top for a look that is fresh, simple, and very sleek. Keep the rest of your look simple in order to draw attention to your waist.

Now that you have this, go now and get your own style of belts!
