It’s often said that the “waistline” is the “lifeline” in women’s fashion. Being tall and slim has become a constraint for dressing beautifully because not everyone has a perfect figure. Therefore, creating a high waistline has become a key focus in fashion.
For example, fashion blogger Sanmu, whom we are familiar with, has made belts a signature element in her outfits. It is the addition of belts that enhances the taste of her fashion style!
Here are some suggestions for women to incorporate belts into their outfits, following Sanmu’s lead in using a belt to create a stylish and slimming look:
1.Dress + Belt
Many dresses are designed with a loose and comfortable concept, emphasizing a casual and relaxed style. As a result, they often do not significantly highlight the waistline. While tall women can easily pull off this look, it may not be as simple for petite women. In this case, adding a distinctive belt like Sanmu can create a more layered and heightened appearance!
2.Suit + Belt
Nowadays, belts are no longer limited to the traditional function of adjusting looseness. For fashionable women, they have become an essential element in elevating height, creating a slimming effect, decorating outfits, and enhancing overall quality.
Most people only consider the inner and lower matching items when wearing a suit, and few consider the suit itself. This is the difference between the outfits of fashion experts and ordinary people! When choosing a medium to long suit jacket, Sanmu often adds a small belt in the same or similar color scheme to the suit jacket. This effortlessly accentuates the figure while creating a subtle vintage British style!
3.Sweater + Belt
Sweaters are a common item in spring, and most people only focus on what items to match with them and how to match them. Everyone knows that sweaters have a soft and loose characteristic, making it quite challenging to wear them in a sharp and stylish manner! However, a belt can instantly transform the originally soft and gentle sweater into a simple and sharp piece!
4.Straight Pants + Belt
For petite women, whether wearing pants or skirts, high-waisted pants and high-waisted skirts are always a safe choice. Not only can they elongate the leg line, but they can also cover the flesh on the buttocks, achieving a heightening and slimming effect.
Although straight pants have the function of concealing flesh and creating a slimming effect, they can also lower the proportion of the legs. If the pants are too loose, they can easily appear bulky. However, Sanmu is a smart woman. No matter what type of straight pants she wears, she always adds a belt to fix the waistline and straighten the pants, making them look slim and straight!
5.Suit Pants + Belt
Women’s selection of suit pants is quite different from men’s. The indentation at the waist is more prominent in women than in men, and the difference in hip circumference between women and men is also greater. This is due to the natural body curves of women, as their hips tend to be more full. Therefore, when choosing pants, women should pay attention to highlighting their hip curves, and using a simple belt to outline the lines is just perfect!
6.Pencil Skirt + Belt
For petite women, creating a high waistline is the finishing touch in their outfits. The high waistline mentioned here does not simply mean choosing a high-waisted skirt.
By using contrasting colors to create a 3:7 ratio, the legs appear longer, and naturally, the person will look taller. Tucking the top into the skirt and raising the waistline is the foundation, but the key is to use different color schemes to create a division.
A pencil skirt is an item that greatly accentuates the figure and highlights elegance. It can outline beautiful curves and showcase a graceful figure. Using a small belt in a different color to create a contrasting 3:7 ratio naturally makes the legs appear even longer!
