This article will show you how to put together ten fabulous outfits with the clothes you already have in your closet with one great fashion accessory - the fabric belt.
We've all owned fabric belts at some point and most of them have probably been made with cotton fabrics. But fabric belts come in a variety of rich exotic silks as well and can be used to spice up and add some color to an outfit. So, let's review some exciting ways to use fabric belts.
1) Little Black Dress: The little black dress is everyone's go-to outfit when for an occasion requires a little more dressing up. But did you know that you can wear it on a casual date just by adding a dark denim jacket, a pair of ballet flats and a silk belt in an eye-popping color? The play of colors against the black background of your dress will exude a spirit of playfulness.
2) Denim: To spice your jeans, ditch the cowboy belt. Pairing a bright silk belt with dark-washed jeans adds a pop of color to your outfit.
3) Khaki shorts: Tired of the safari feel that your favorite khaki shorts evoke? Pair it with a red fabric belt, a plain white tank top and some espadrille wedges, and you are ready for a casual romp on the boardwalk.
4) Wrap dress: Give your wrap dress an even more polished look by adding a fabric belt to it. Don't be afraid to mix prints with your outfit. On dresses with bold prints, make sure to keep the print on the belt fine enough so that it'll play against the bolder print of the dress.
5) White shirt: You can use a silk belt as a sash when you pair it with it a white shirt. Wear a teal fabric belt over your un-tucked shirt, turn up your collar, and pair it with a brown pencil skirt and your ready for the board meeting.
6) The Maxi Dress: Give your maxi dress a bohemian flair by draping a loosely looped silk belt around your hips. Who says casual can't be chic?
7) Black Pants: Fore-go the slim leather belt when in your classic black pants. Instead, put on a jewel-toned fabric belt, a white tee under a blazer, add a chunky turquoise necklace, and you're ready for happy hour.
8) The Cardigan: Wear a pastel fabric belt over your favorite cardigan. Pair it with a soft flowing dress with floral prints, add a brooch, and you are ready for any garden wedding.
9) The Sheath dress: Update this 1950's iconic dress by and pairing it with a silk belt in the primary color of the dress and some chunky wooden jewelry.
10) A-line skirt: Amp up the style quotient of your A-line skirt by pairing it with strappy sandals, a sleeveless top and a fabric belt in a complementary color. Think Charlotte in "Sex and the City".
With its versatility, affordability and variety of prints, colors, and different types of fabrics, these belts could be a great addition to your wardrobe.
