Women's Belts For Dresses

Women’s belts for dresses

So often a dress can be really improved with a belt, and there are many different ways of using them, and different sorts of belts for dresses, waist belt dresses, skinny dress belts, elasticated belts – we have some different hints and suggestions.

How to belt a loose dress

So some shapeless dresses can be hugely improved by wearing a belt – depending upon your shape and the dress, a waist belt is great for creating shape and some structure to your look, either a wider elasticated belt if you are quite tall and have plenty of space between your ribs and hip, or possibly a skinny belt if you are shorter. Do not do it up too tightly, for comfort and the overall look!

What colour belt should I wear on my dress?

You don’t have to match your belt colour with your shoes – chose one colour in the dress, or perhaps your necklace colour, and find a belt that is similar and works tonally on the dress. If you have a very plain dress, it is often enhanced by a belt in a different colour that will tie in with your other accessories, or perhaps add an interesting buckle, a diamante buckle is a great option for a dull dress!

How to wear a belt on a dress

If the dress has a waistline already, you will need to put the belt over this seam, it can look a mess if the belt sits above or below it – and this is where the wider elasticated belt can be a huge help as it is very comfortable to wear, and will cover the seam. A dress belt should add a focal point to an outfit, either by way of colour or by creating shape.

What dresses to wear with a belt?

So any plain, tubular or large and shapeless dress can be improved with a belt, if it is a hugely busy pattern and is very fitted, a belt may not be needed, but you will be surprised how effective some dress waist belts can be – a maxi dress can look fantastic with a wide waist belt – try one and see!

What type of dress belt should I have in my wardrobe?

Certainly, everybody needs a black and a neutral waist belt in their wardrobe – a plaited belt can add texture and interest, and the option to put a detachable buckle in silver, gold or diamante is hugely useful on many dresses – or skirts with tops that often need a belt covering the join. A skinny belt in silver and gold is a classic item and looks good on many dresses – plus they are very useful on shorts and trousers.
