How to Wear a Belt On the Waist
If you decide to wear a belt on the waist, find the narrowest part of your upper body and that is your waistline. Some ideas on how to wear a belt on the waist include:
With a flowy long skirt
With a form fitting skirt or cocktail dress
To cinch a bulky fall or winter jacket
Shiny skinny belt to add contrast to a tailored suit
At the Hips
When trying a belt at the hips, medium or wider belts work best. Try wearing a hip belt with:
A maxi dress
To dress up jeans and a t-shirt
With a short, summery dress
The days of matching the belt to the shoes and handbag have already gone. In fact, a belt works best when it stands on its own, drawing attention to the waist it cinches so well.
