Thin grey will make you look just that—thinner. No, it’s not a miracle or magical belt, but the slender shape can add a thinning element to your look if done right. The thin belt is meant to be worn over your shirt or dress around the waist, not around the hips (where it can have the opposite effect altogether). If you wear it closer to your actual waist than your hips, you can easily add the illusion of a thinner upper body. From supermodels on the catwalk to sexy fashionistas like yourselves, this trend is taking off.
Adding a skinny belt to an outfit creates texture, layering interest, added waist-definition and if you like, a pop of colour. They are particularly effective when worn over the following items:
- cardigan (both short and longer lengths)
- jacket, or coat
- soft, silky knit or woven blouse
- tailored button-down shirt
- dress, or tunic
- high-waisted pants and skirts
