Belts are an easy, inexpensive and perfect way to create new outfits that highlight the best facets of your body with clothes you already have. Besides being one of the most popular accessories they are ideal to hide parts of your body that do not benefit as much and highlight your best attributes.
Here I present a guide for you to use depending on your body type and you can take full advantage.
To begin, it is important to consider the size of your torso and your legs , as this will depend on whether you should use a thin belt or one wide. Always remember that a smaller width, higher. If your torso is short , use thin belts and positional above the hips to create an illusion of a more elongated torso. Instead, if your torso is long used wide belts and put them at the waist or a little above it, to create a leggy appearance.
Once you have considered your torso, it is important to place the shape of your body and based on that choose girdles that favor you:
