How-To Wear Big Buckle Belts

These waist-defining accessories are taking center stage and becoming major outfit focal points. Use them to break-up solid-colored outfits, accentuate your waist or just be the statement piece of your look. Here are some ideas on how you can make your big buckle belt work for you:

Coloring-Blocking
Use your belt to split up the color-block design in your outfits. The belt will remain the focus of the outfit and it will result in a contemporary, uptown/downtown look.

Free-Flowing Dresses
Use your belt to nip the waist of your free-flowing dress and show off your figure. Also, if your dress is minimal in appearance, wear an attention-grabbing belt and vice versa (if you're wearing a fancy dress opt for a basic belt).

Separates
If you're wearing separates like a skirt or pants and top, you can still go for the big buckle belt look! Simply wear the belt over your top where your natural waistline hits when pairing with a skirt/top combo, and wear it in the area of the belt loops when going for the pant/top look. The belt will accentuate the fashion-forward outfit.

Try choosing belts in interesting colors, buckle shapes, and textures. Your belt will be your outfit's focal point so you want it to be something worth talking about. Oh, and did I mention your waist and overall body shape will look fantastic?
