Belts are the perfect way to accessorize an outfit! They add depth and create a sleek and streamlined silhouette to your frame. Whether you are tall and lean or short and curvy, belts can work on everybody.

Here are some must use tips

Women with short torsos should use a a belt with a similar hue to their outfit to elongate their bodies.  Anything too bold will overwhelm a petite girl's figure and make her appear shorter.  Taller women should opt for a contrasting belt in a standout color.  Taller women or women with a long torso can use bolder belts to create a look of longer legs.  Artificially raise your hip line by adding a bold belt and you can lengthen your legs by 20%! 

A skinny belt is best for cutting a silhouette and accentuating the proportions of the shoulders to bust to hips.  So without showing much skin, cinching ones waste with a skinny belt creates a sexy allure!  Shorter women and women with short torsos should almost always wear a skinny belt.

If you are going for a more casual looking with a tie belt it is best to loop it on the front and tie it slightly to the left or right to create a slimming illusion on the waist.

Belting an ensemble is all about balance. If you are wearing a loud, bold outfit you should turn in the direction of an understated black or brown belt.  A belt can also be a statement piece.  A bright and bold belt can be the centerpiece of an otherwise boring outfit similar to a great necklace.  There are my gorgeous metallic and colorful belts that are huge right now!
