Belting the question...
Permalink Closed


I'm loving the belts Rar210 found in the shopping forum and the very thought of buying one made me wonder how everyone feels about belts in general.  I always think they look so cute on others but somehow they don't work on me. :(  Anyone else?

Kari and I were just discussing this topic. If I'm tucking my shirt in, then I'll wear a belt almost always. I think it makes me look thinner and more put together.


 


Kari, on the other hand, is a belt-a-phobe. I think they freak her out a little bit....

Only with very low-waisted jeans do I wear a belt, so as not to show crack to unfortunate passersby.  I can't wear them with regular rise pants because it looks weird - makes my hip area look huge, and my shirts cover them and it makes my stomach look bumpy.

No belts for me-I am sooo short-waisted!

I'm not consistent at all.  I wear them if my belt loops show or if I'm wearing an outfit that looks good w/ a belt slung over the top.


I hate wearing belts if my shirt is going to cover the belt at all.  Too lumpy.

well I like the look on other people and Iam starting to like it on me but iam not sure if it looks right . I even took a few shots with my bronze belt and a longer/looser fit shirt a little while ago. I will post it later to see what you ladies think. I was always unsure the best to wear them ,shirt tucked in or over the shirt

I don't always wear them but with some pants and jeans I think they add a little extra something to the look.  Most of my pants are low rise.  I do have a long torso.

I wear belts with shorter shirts--I think it looks more pulled together.  If my shirt covers the belt loops I don't wear a belt unless it is over my shirt.  Sometimes I like to wear a plain outfit and then my leopard belt or my boy scout belt, adds a little interest.

I wear belts for purely functional purposes. I've got an hourglass figure and a lot of junk in my trunk. I buy pants to fit the booty, but then the waist is way too big so I wear a belt. I wish I didn't have to wear them though.

I wear a belt almost every day.  I think it makes most outfits look more polished on me.

I always wear belts with jeans, they make me feel cool and polished.

I can't vote one way or another, I wear them when the outfit calls for them.
