How to choose the right belt?

According to stylists, a belt is not just a functional piece of clothing, it is also a very important decorative element. And you need to choose belts for your dress correctly, taking into account the features of both the outfit and your own shapes that nature has endowed you with. So, for example, any style of belt will suit slender and tall girls with model parameters, but busty young ladies with a large torso should not choose belts that are too narrow or, on the contrary, too wide and massive. The best option for them is a medium-width belt. It will visually elongate the body and thus make the figure slimmer.

Remember that thick belts “shorten” your legs. Therefore, short girls are not recommended to wear such accessories. And for owners of appetizing shapes, it is better to avoid belts altogether, so as not to focus attention on the flaws in the waist area. However, for those who cannot boast perfect figure and at the same time not ready to part with belts, stylists recommend wearing cardigans or unbuttoned jackets covering the sides over dresses.

As for color schemes, remember that belts that contrast with the dress will suit girls with a thin waist. Thanks to a bright accessory, all the attention of others will be focused on this part of the body, and therefore it must be perfect! But with a belt matched to the tone of your main clothing, you can kill two birds with one stone - you can model your figure without focusing on any part of it.

When wearing a coat of a non-classical style, You can tie the belt with a careless, loose knot, which should be located on the side. This type of tying will add a slight casualness to the look and will look quite interesting.

Tying with a bow

How to tie a belt on a coat with a bow? Yes, very simple. This simple method of tying a belt is possible if it is of sufficient length. If you have skills in tying shoelaces, then you probably won’t have any problems with the belt. The principle is the same here. The size of the loops can be adjusted as you like. In order to get a pronounced bow shape, it is best to reduce the size of the loops and leave more for releasing the edges.

You should not place the resulting bow in the middle, but this does not apply to the case when the coat is flared at the bottom. In this form, the image will be logical.

Tying with a half bow

The pattern is the same as with the bow. Only now one end is released from the loop and released. There is only one loop left (half a bow). This fairly simple method will look original on belts of different widths.

If the belt is shaped like a belt

A belt is also a belt that has fittings (clasp or buckle). It is also used to belt coats. There are ideas for original tying here.

Thread the belt into the buckle, wrap the free end around the base and release it down;

Do the same as in the previous case, only from the free end form a knot with the end down;

Just make a knot as described in the non-traditional version, not paying attention to the buckle;

Thread the belt through the buckle, then form the free end into a loop. Step by step it looks like this: pull the end up through the bottom of the belt, wrap it in a loop and return the free edge down.

The figure eight shape will also look unusual. You can wrap the free edge of the belt around the strap, as if describing a figure eight shape.

These basic methods will be a solution from the ordinary and will encourage diversity. Of course, the above options are not the same, and in no case should limit your imagination.

Style is an immutable part of personality that should not suffer due to poor accessory decisions.

What to wear with a coat with a belt

You can wear a coat with almost all elements of your wardrobe - trousers, dresses, skirts. The importance of the coat pattern should be noted here.

An oversized model with a belt will be able to “play” with cropped ankle-length trousers and ankle boots; a skirt and dress will also fit into this ensemble, but it is advisable that their length be a little longer than the coat. Don't wear oversized skirts with floor-length skirts.

Models of the classic coat style with a belt shimmer with a variety of interpretations of combination with other wardrobe elements in the photos of the pages of glossy magazines.

But what to do if you only wear skirts and dresses? So this is a great combination for a coat of this model. The length of the coat and dress itself does not play a special role here, since everything will look harmonious if the dress and coat are longer.

But you need to be careful with trousers: classic pipes or tapered ones are suitable for straight models. They will not fit under a flared coat; skirts and dresses will be relevant in this case. If the coat is floor-length, then the clothes that will be underneath will not spoil the appearance.

Poncho and similar models can be combined with any clothing except jeans. Products made from it should be selected very carefully if the choice falls on a poncho.

Capes, on the contrary, look great with denim trousers. Trousers are not excluded either. But skirts and dresses should be selected with a knee-length sheath type.

• Traditional bow. To secure the belt, you can try to make a fashionable bow. In this case, the knots can be ordinary single, double and even triple. This is determined by the length of the belt. The edges of the accessory may be free. If you want it not to flutter, you can bring them under the bottom.

This option will allow you to get a very gentle and feminine look. Therefore, it will undoubtedly appeal to many fashionistas.

• Single knot. The main purpose of this detail is to create a visual emphasis on the waist area. That is why you need to tie the belt in such a way that it focuses attention on this area. To solve this problem, you should choose a single node. In such a situation, the ends are not separated in different directions, but placed vertically. Thanks to this, it will be possible not only to accentuate the waist, but also to visually lengthen the silhouette.
• Double knot. Essentially, this is a more complex version of the single. To obtain such a knot, you will need a soft product of sufficient length. It should wrap around the waist 2 times. The edges may droop. It is also quite acceptable to tie them in front with a beautiful bow.
• Biedermeier knot. This will require a fairly wide belt. The main feature of this knot is that one part of the belt should be longer than the second.

To get the desired option, first the ends of the belt need to be folded overlapping, directing them vertically. Then you need to take the short part and wrap the long one around it. This part needs to be passed through the loop. After this, the manipulations should be repeated with long element– in this situation, the short end will be the main one. As a result, you need to get an original knot that has two movable loops.
