How Belts Make it Better!






These days, everywhere you look; you will see amazing belts of all types. You will see belts of different shapes, different colors and different sizes. And, this great influx of belts is because utilizing belts in your wardrobe are the easiest and quickest way to add some style and panache to an otherwise basic outfit. Especially with the colder months approaching, belts are increasingly important in interjecting femininity within anyone’s outfit.


The best type of belt to coordinate with a specific outfit can sometimes be tough. In terms of casual clothing, meaning jeans and a casual t-shirt or cargo pants, it is best to go with a brown or tan colored leather belt. Usually, it looks better when the belt is about 1 ½ inches to 2 inches in width. The belt that you wear with jeans or cargo pants should fit within the loops on your pants. The belt should not be stuffed in to the loops, nor should it be a skinny belt swimming in the loops. The great thing about a brown or tan colored leather belt is the ability to wear the belt with an array of different colors and shades. Brown or tan goes with every color under the sun and a brown or tan belt also looks amazing if you choose to wear brown to tan boots for a cool fall or winter outfit.


The second type of belt that is cute for a variety of styles is the stretchy wide belt. This type of belt can be any color, but it is most commonly seen in black. This type of belt looks great when worn over a long shirt and either skinny jeans or leggings. This look is both modern and trendy and great for the fall and winter months. A stretchy belt looks great when paired over a chambray button down shirt or even a thin sweater. Either way, a skinny belt adds a curve to the body and cinches in the waist exactly in the area that is most flattering to the body. A stretchy belt is also extremely comfortable to wear since the material stretches with you. So, you won’t feel uncomfortable wearing a stretchy belt. And, because of the wide width of a stretchy belt, it creates a clean line over clothing creating the right type of silhouette. Some adorable stretchy belts even come with a bow in the front or other embellishments.


The last type of great belt to invest in would be a low slung belt that just hits the hips. These low slung belts can be made of leather, material or metal. The idea of a low slung belt is that it adds a certain sex appeal to any outfit. Since the belt is slung low on the hips, it looks great when worn with any form fitting top and bottom. Try wearing a low slung belt with leggings and a tunic with a jacket over it and a pair of really high heels. You will be ready for a night out on the town.

Drench your warmth in Trench Coats

"Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are"




So far we have been receiving a lot of sun (not that I’m complaining, I’m loving this weather!), during this fall season. However it is best that we are prepared for a change in climate…(it’s extremely unpredictable). One of the best things to own during the fall and during the winter season is a trench coat. There are tons of trench coats that are stylish and can keep you warm during the upcoming months. Here are a couple of coats you can choose to
buy.

Light trench coats           
When people think of trench coats they usually think big heavy coats. But that is not always the case, in fact there are many trench coats that are not that warm and are very light. They are actually perfect for the kind of weather we have been having lately. These go really well with casual and semi-formal clothing.

Short Trench coats
 Alright, there are many cute short trench coats that are comfortable for day to day wear. They look great with just plain jeans and tee shirts. If you think this is your type of trench coat I would suggest buying one that’s dark or neutral in colour, that way it will match a variety of your wardrobe.

Long Trench Coats
 I love to think about long trench coats as elegant winter dresses. I find them to be super warm and cozy (can you tell they are my favorite type of trench coats?). You too can keep warm and style your outfit by putting on a long trench coat when going out to a fancy event or for a casual night out. You may be wondering what type of casual clothing can I wear? Well these types of coats can be worn with leggings/ jeans, heels, shirts, and cardigans.

                And that’s that. Just remember to always keep warm, cozy and stylish during the cold months. There are different trends during every season; we just got to learn how to play around with our wardrobe to keep in stylish.
