Having understood all types and classifications, you can safely move on to the most interesting and bright. The color of the belt is no less important for a new look than the material from which it is made.

The choice of color, as well as the choice of style, must be based on the existing wardrobe. Stylists advise choosing a belt so that it fits shoes or a bag, and if you do both, then you can forget about unfinished looks. It is important to say that universal belts do not exist, it is necessary to select a belt for each specific occasion and suit.

• Classic leather belt. Here we are talking about the simplest black or brown belt that you can use for its intended purpose. This means that it will not have any embroidery, rhinestones, and the buckle will be as concise and simple as possible.
• Belt with decorations. Your highlight, a bright accent of the image is a belt with jewelry. Rhinestones, sequins, yellow or bright purple colors, embroidery, a massive buckle - everything that the soul lies in. Everyone will see it, because it needs to be worn over clothes. Belts of this style will be a great addition to an evening, club look.
• Thin belt. Perhaps this can be called the most versatile.It is better to choose such a belt in neutral shades, for example, black, white, gray, sand, brown, dark red or classic red will look great in a basic wardrobe.
• Wide belt, Oddly enough, it is also necessary. And also, preferably, monophonic. If you have doubts about what color to choose, choose neutral shades or those that are already present in the image.

Belts can be completely different: both classic, as we are used to seeing them, and completely unusual: from metal rings, rubber, plastic, in the form of a chain and much more.

It is worth choosing the decorative elements of the belt based on the assembled image. For example, a chain belt will look good with rocker-style leather trousers or a knitted dress.

Belts with two rings or half rings look great on outerwear, on a variety of coats and trench coats.. It is noteworthy that they can also be tied in different ways. It is not necessary to use the rings as a buckle, you can simply tie the ends into a beautiful bow or tight knot. This will give the image of charm and slight negligence.

The first thing that comes to mind when you need to use a belt in your wardrobe is when your jeans, trousers, skirt or shorts have become a little big and you need to fasten them. You can do this both unnoticed by others, hiding the belt under a blouse or T-shirt, or killing two birds with one stone: fix clothes and give the image a twist and completeness. For this purpose, a bright unusual belt with an interesting buckle or print is perfect.But it is worth remembering that if your clothes already have any kind of pattern, you should refuse belts with a pattern, try to give preference to plain models.

A thin belt is only suitable for decorative purposes.. It can be worn over a maxi shirt. Thus, it will look more neat and feminine. Cocktail dresses are also very fond of tight belts, especially if they are bright, rich colors. Also, belts look good with floor-length dresses, emphasizing the chest and stretching the silhouette. They give the image of composure, completeness and femininity, because nothing can so perfectly emphasize the feminine waist as a thin belt.

When choosing a belt for body shaping, try to follow the rule: if the belt is in the place that it should emphasize, for example, at the waist, it should contrast with the color of the dress.

Wide belts on the hips in Indian style look great with mid-length skirts and even floor-length, adding some oriental flair. Also, wide belts are great for flared jeans. If you tuck your shirt into these jeans and wear a wide leather belt around your hips, you can impress everyone in a cowboy way by adding a hat here.

Vintage leather belt tied with an intricate knot not only emphasizes the waistline, but also brings a bright accent to the whole image of the girl. Against the background of a mint-colored skirt, it stands out advantageously, giving the image a special zest.

A silk scarf tied to a large bow was used as a belt for a neat skirt.. Such an experiment not only refreshes the image, but also makes it almost unique, because only a few decide on such a bold experiment.
