Things You'll Need:

• Assorted belts
• Wardrobe

1. One type of belt, the hip-slung belts can be worn ultra-low with lower-rise jeans. They are designed to be worn as the name suggests on the hip, so this type of belt also works well at breaking up a dress. This is a very trendy look and it will make you feel young and fresh. Recently celebrities seen wearing a hip-slung belt include Kate Moss and Kirsten Dunst.

2. Ribbon belts at the waist can add a feminine touch to any look. They are also a great way to add color to a monochromatic look. The ribbon belts are a favorite of preppy dressers who pair the belts with khaki pants and sweaters.

3. Chain-link belts can be worn to minimize the attention drawn to your hips. They can be typically found in both silver and gold. Higher end chain belts are usually decorated with different types of jewels. These belts are worn right over the waist, designed to synch a long shirt or dress to define the waist area.

4. The newest trend in belts is the wide-metal or leather belt. These belts are usually much bolder than the other types of belts. Many celebrities such as Ashley Oslen, Britney Spears and Jessica Alba are photographed wearing wide belts over dresses or paired with pants and a blazer. Wide belts are designed to define the belts loops and be worn over an outfit.
