Belt It
A belt can totally change the look of your outfit in a cinch. Here are the rules for buckling up!
"Belts are great because they can add color to your outfit, they can change the shape of the dress, they can give you a waist if you don't have one, and they can define a waist if you already have a great one," says Erin Hill, manager of The Impeccable Pig boutique.

Here are some rules to really belt one out:
- Use a skinny belt in the same color of your dress to give it shape.
- Always wear a skinny belt higher on your waist over your clothes.
- Wear two skinny belts together and buckle one into the other one's belt buckle.
- If you have an hourglass figure, add a wide belt right at your waist.
- Wear a chain-link belt at your hip bones, higher in the back and lower in the front.
- Use a big, wide belt when cinching a sweater and make sure the flaps do not overlap in the front.
- When belting a blazer, use a wide belt and button the blazer before belting it.
- Do not belt a cropped blazer or one with embellished pockets.
- If you have a straight figure or high waist, use a thin belt to help create an hourglass figure.
- Add a belt to a dress with an elastic waist to give it a finished look.
