Wear a belt over bulky clothing for a tailored look

Belts will help you accessorize the bulky pieces and give your waist a slimmer look. These belts will at the same time make your outfit have a more tailored look which is always amazing. For this purpose, your belt should be a little bit wider than the normal waist belt.
Wear a belt on your true waist
Do you even know where your true waist is? You true waist is on your tummy. It is on the location of your belly button. Wearing a belt on a fitting dress or a high waist skirt or pair of pants will definitely flatter your figure. It does not matter what shape of size you are. This is a trick that works for everyone.
