Regular dressing should be simple and leave you feeling put together, energized, and ready to enjoy all aspects of your life. Every day, I make it a point to get ready because, when I don't, my brain wants to go to sleep!

How to Style a Belt with a Dress

A dress would frequently look better with emphasis on the waist because it gives it a deliberate appearance. I also prefer to match the shoes and belt because it completes the ensemble. To add some fun and shape to your next dress outfit, I've rounded up some of my favorite options for belts, whether they're made of leather, thin metal, raffia, or something entirely else.

1. Skinny Metal Belt

When worn with a dress that has greater volume at the skirt, skinny belts like this one help define your natural waist. To complete the ensemble, use a skinnier belt like this, since you don't want excess fabric around the waist to draw attention away from the dress.

2. Rope Belts

This ultra-feminine rope waist belt is the perfect accessory to accessorize practically every summer dress in your closet. Wearing this with a flowy dress that already has a belt fastened would be stunning. Substitute this one for the other!

3. Double-O Ring Buckle Belt

The Gucci belt is still very popular. However, if the exorbitant price tag is out of your reach, this belt with an O-ring buckle is a perfect substitute. This is an excellent addition to any outfit because it pairs perfectly with any type of dress.

4. Wide Waist Belts for Dresses

Choose a wide waist belt if you want your accessories to really stand out. I would pair this with a fitting dress to highlight your natural waist, like the ribbed midi I'm wearing today.

8. Golden Buckle Ladies Belt

a slim belt with a subtle knotted detail—not as dramatic as the one I'm wearing today—that complements my outfit. This belt would look fantastic with a floral midi dress and boots in the fall because of the gold accent and the soft leather material.

9. Woven Leather Belt

A broader woven leather belt looks fantastic with any modestly fitting shirt dress, and its covered buckle adds a neat finishing touch. To avoid having a long strap hanging over the side, make sure it's not too long.

10. Classic Wrap Belt

A classic wrap belt such as this one is supposed to draw attention to itself, much like a wide waist belt does to any formal ensemble. You can knot it however you wish, but make sure to wear it with a dress that has a tight bodice to avoid having too much loose fabric clash with the belt.
