How to Use a Skinny Belt

Designers have borrowed styling details from the 80s-inspired wide belt and translated the look into a sleek version for today's fashionista. The skinny belt helps to define as well as accentuate the natural waistline and hips as part of the ensemble. Patent and textured leathers as well as metallic, braided, or punched patterns are a few skinny belt styles. Keeping the belt style complementary to the overall ensemble pieces ensures a cohesive look.

Instructions

Measure the width of the skinny belt with a flexible tape measure. Hangtag labels state the width and length. If you have discarded the tags, the width is essential to pair the belt with the proper size belt loop. Oversized belt loops do not hold the skinny belt in place and can cause shifting during movement. The length determines if the belt is wearable with pants or dresses. Pant belts are slightly longer in length.

Coordinate the skinny belt pattern with your ensemble pieces. For example, if you are wearing a studded or rhinestone top, choose a belt with those details all around or for a subtle accent at the buckle. If you are wearing natural colors for the spring and summer season, select a braided belt in khaki, chestnut or brown leather as well as natural woven belt textures.

Position the belt around your natural waistline area. For instance, if you are wearing an elongated wide top, place the belt comfortably around the waistline to add definition to the top. This transforms the oversized top to a form-fitting blouse with a peplum border. Peplum is a term referring to the gathered fabric at the lower half of a blouse, which often has a slight flare.

Position the belt around your natural hip area. This step adds definition to a tunic style top or lightweight knit sweater. Leave an extended belt tail as an added fashion accent. Steer clear of cinching the belt too tightly which can often create bulkiness.

Button up a droopy or oversized cardigan. Tighten the belt around your natural waistline to transform the cardigan into a form-fitting stylish ensemble. If you are pairing a light-colored cardigan with a dark skirt or pant for the office, select a belt with the pant's color scheme. Another option is to coordinate the belt's finishing texture with your shoes. For instance, if you are wearing patent leather heels, select a patent leather belt.
