Day four into your New Year’s resolution and while the pounds might not have fallen off yet, you can make yourself look slimmer by using something that already own. A very popular trend right now is to wear belts, wide or skinny, over dresses and long tops. Many dresses that designers have been producing this season even come with belts attached. These are a great addition to your wardrobe because it is like getting two items for the price of one. If you don’t have time to run out to the store this week, try this look out with clothes that you already own.
Regardless of the width of your belt wearing one over a dress or top will make you look trim as long as you wear it taut. For best results, wear the belt at your natural waist. This is between your ribs and hips, and is generally the skinniest part of your torso. By placing a belt at your natural waist, it will cinch the fabric of your top or dress to give you a flattering hourglass shape. This look is simple, flattering, and great if you are trying to hold off buying clothes until Spring collections arrive!
