How to Wear Belts



This month I worked with a client who described herself as "belt challenged." Although had purchased some lovely, chic belts, she was unsure of when and how to wear them. I assured her that belt savvy is a learned skill, and that I use a cheat sheet (photos of nicely belted ensembles discreetly displayed in my closet) to remind me of ways to wear belts. This is a pretty nifty cheat sheet from Nordstrom.

Here are some websites and blog posts that have photos and descriptions of belted looks:

When I want to buy a belt I go to Lovebird, Anthropologie, or Talbots. The saleswomen in any of these stores will be happy to help you add a belt to your wardrobe.

Be assured that belts are a foolproof way to pull together a complete look. Plus, they give you an air of cool glamour.
