How to choose the right belt for your figure type

A well chosen belt can take a simple outfit and turn it into fantastic. Choosing the right belt can also subtly alter the contours of your figure, making your waist and hips look larger or smaller. Here's how to choose the right belt to flatter your figure.
The first: you should determine the size of the belt that you need for your outfit. If you are wearing a dress or a "one piece shirt," go with a bigger belt. If you are wearing two separate pieces, or jean, go with a smaller belt. While the size of the belt does not necessarily have to fit this pattern, it is a surefire way to know that it will work.
The second: If you're heavy body, you should choose a belt that's similar in color to your outfit. Avoid wide belts in contrasting colors which can make your waistline look larger. The key to deemphasizing a heavier build is to keep it simple when it comes to choosing the right belt.
The third: then you should know the style of belt that fits your outfit.
If you are going with a bigger belt, you generally have one style; flat and large. If you are going with a smaller belt, however, you have multiple options. You may go with the normal type of belt, but may also use a scarf as a belt. The different styles will compliment different types of wardrobes.
The last, you should choose your favorite color of belt, if you are wearing dark, go with a lighter belt. If you are wearing light, go with a darker belt.
