Perhaps the most underrated styling piece, belts are a versatile, must-have item that you can use to either tighten the waist, make a statement or accessorize your outfit. They can transform your plain work outfit into a head-turning look. They also pair well with casual outfits to give you a more sophisticated look. With so many options, you have the luxury of finding one that flatters you the most.

Types

There are more than 20 types of belts for both men and women. If you’re in the market for a new one, here are a few that you can consider:

  • Skinny belt – skinny belts are one of the most popular types of belts. They are subtle but make a huge statement to your ensemble. Most people wear them to accentuate their waist without distracting the focus from the outfit.
  • Chunky belt – chunky belts come in a variety of styles for different looks. From denim to maxi dresses, you can be sure that the attention will be at your waistline when rocking a chunky belt. They’re also a nod to the 80’s fashion trend which is always a plus.
  • Leather belt – leather belts are a classic, must-have. They go with both formal and casual looks and are easy to style. You can never go wrong with one so if you’re not sure about belts, this is a good place to start.
  • Braided belt – a daring but fashionable look, braided belts can help you complete a casual look and introduce a textured element to the outfit. It’s mostly worn for aesthetic purposes but it’s a worthy investment, especially for men.
  • Corset Belts – corset belts have made a huge comeback in recent years thanks to their sex appeal and functionality. Corset belts cinch the waist giving you an hourglass figure. They can be worn with formal or casual outfits.

You can style these belts in many ways to give you a beautiful and more refined look. Here are a few ways to accessorize with belts.

  1. Maxi dress and skinny belt

This can be a good go-to look for a modest event such as a family gathering while still slaying and looking stylish. The belt makes the maxi dress look more structured giving you a flattering shape. It can also add a pop of colour or tie in the other colours in your outfit bringing the whole look together.

We can’t deny just how comfortable it is to strut around town in leggings and a t-shirt. Athleisure has soared in popularity and become part and parcel of our lives. If you love wearing leggings, you know that there aren’t many ways to style them. After all, that’s the point. They are meant to be simple and easy.
