This trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, so how to wear a corset belt? With attitude. With jeans.
Over a dress, having fun.
Actually loves, there aren’t a lot of rules when it comes to corset belts. Part of the magic of wearing them is that they are part statement, part basic–and they go with everything. I love the Rock and Roll edge that the belt provides with this simple white tee and jeans, but you could easily make this more casual by wearing sneakers instead of heels. Over a dress with flats, with shorts and sandals, with super high heels. (Get my other corset look here). Corset belts are perfect when you want to define your waist, add a little something, be edgy, be soft, or just need a belt! They’re a nod to sexy, a way to hold yourself in, a little throw back, and are modern all in one; the point being that you can’t go wrong with them.
Loves, there’s also a very good chance that you don’t need me to tell you how to wear a corset belt, or any fashion for that matter. Though I have lots of ideas, and am always happy to help, the reality may be that you don’t need my help. Maybe you need inspiration, or loves maybe you just need permission. Before you take a deep breath and my comments get filled, I am not trying to imply that as a woman in charge of herself that you need permission to wear anything, any way you like. What I would argue is that sometimes we hold ourselves back, for reasons that would be another article, blog, another forum. So we’re focusing on the corset belt. And loves, however you rock it or don’t is perfect. The outfit you have in your head will be amazing (and if turns out you don’t like it, you change). You have permission to have fun, to try things out, to wear what makes you happy. Ironic that we’re talking about permission with a corset belt that holds you in? Maybe. Or maybe not!
This belt is from my love, Elaine Kim, and I love how soft it is–seriously loves, you need to feel this leather–and the zipper! It’s gone with everything from jeans to dresses (see above) and I’m still thinking up ways to wear it!
I’d love to know: how do you wear a corset belt?
