STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: To Belt or Not to Belt

Style Advice of the Week

Belts are one of fashion’s greatest accessories. Belts can add a pop of color to any outfit, add some sophistication, as well as show off your curves. One trend that is coming back is a tucked in shirt with higher wasted pants, like you can see on this week's Fashionista. Her belt not only shows off her waist, but the slight touch of red makes her glowing smile even more vibrant.

You can pair them with almost any look as well. Try a blazer with a slim belt around your waist. A plain dress can be worn with a thick or thin belt depending on its cut and can help form the perfect silhouette. Another plus to wearing belts, and having unlimited options with them, is that you can find them anywhere. They vary in prices all across the board, and you can almost always find ones to go with whatever outfit your trying to pull off.

J.Crew offers multiple options including this adorable skinny calf hair belt. It would work great with a work look, or jeans and a loose black top, similar to our Fashionista’s look. Urban outfitter also offers endless options, and one in particular that stood out was this neon pink one paired with the sweater dress for an example. It adds and edginess to the sweater dress, yet isn’t too over the top.

So, not only are belts good for keeping your pants from falling down, they can also turn any look around instantly. A belt can be just the added accessory to give you that playful touch you’ve been looking for.
