To be able to choose the correct matching of the style and color of the dress with the model and the shade of the belt, you need to know several rules for wearing a strap, the foundations of which have been taking shape over time.
- So, a thin belt is proclaimed an immortal world classic, suitable for different figures and for most outfits.

- A corset is considered very functional. In addition to the fact that he looks very impressive on the figure, it is in his power to make the stomach flat, raise the chest, gracefully shade the line of the hips, straighten the back. In a word, to emphasize the attractive female curves and correct imperfections, disguising them discreetly. Unfortunately, such a virtuoso assistant is not suitable for every figure.
Women with short necks and torso will have to find another way to hide their imperfections.

- The simpler and simpler the clothes, the brighter and more expressive the addition to it can be. There will be openwork texture, inlaid buckles, rivets, patterns in the theme. And vice versa, a catchy strap will obviously not get along with a bright life-affirming ensemble.

- For multi-layered clothes with prints or an abundance of details, a single-color wide belt is preferred, because a narrow accessory will simply get lost in this variety.

- Accessories that simply serve as decoration include jewelry, bijouterie, silver or gold chains. These are great additions to evening or cocktail outfits.
The combination of a silver or gold chain with a black dress is romantic and irresistible. Black and red are recognized as classic colors for belts.
The classic outfit, according to the rules, is complemented by a monochromatic trio: handbag, belt, shoes.
But modern fashion, becoming more democratic every day, allows an increasing number of combinations. Only shoes, or only a handbag, or a bracelet, scarf, neckerchief, watch strap can act as an addition to the belt. Or it can be an independent piece of clothing without any reinforcements. This can be afforded by products of neutral colors - black, beige, brown. Or a bright accessory can single-handedly attract admiring glances.

How to fit according to your figure?
In order not to spoil it in an attempt to decorate your outfit, you need to select a belt model that is most suitable for your figure, style, image. In this sense, it is easier for the owners of a slender graceful figure. They should only pay attention to style and color. But women with "appendages" and "appendages" have to look for accessories that can magically hide unnecessary "additions" from prying eyes.

So, choosing the color of the belt for the dress, it is necessary to clearly define the task that this accessory will solve. The color of the belt under the dress can be in tune with the dress or in contrast to it.

If the duet is selected in the same color scheme, the belt does not focus on itself, but serves to form a silhouette. This variation is optimal for women with extra pounds in weight or centimeters in the waist. The contrast option aims to draw attention to the waist, as well as to visually correct the proportions of the legs and torso.
With short legs, we place the belt under the chest, if there is such a problem with the torso, we lower it on the hips.
To visually disguise a wide waist and a protruding tummy, choose clothes with a high waist and a belt of medium width, worn under the chest.

A wide belt makes your figure heavier, so if you don't want to draw attention to your impressive chest, wear a slim model. And also such a model visually stretches the silhouette, therefore it is recommended for those who "did not come out in height".
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/07/poyas-dlya-platya-48.jpg)
Confused by wide hips? A wide fashionable sash, loosely located at the waist, is your best option.

With narrow hips and wide shoulders, a dress with a fluffy skirt and a belt at the hips will help you out.

Original wide accessories emphasize feminine lines and visually make the figure slimmer.
And you also need to be very careful about contrasts. This option is definitely not suitable for chubby ladies. Even lucky women with a slender figure, such a choice is acceptable only after trying on and visual self-assessment.
