As every modern fashionista knows, belts don't have to simply serve as hardware for keeping your clothes from falling off your hips, and by now have been fully established in the realm of trendy accessories -- whether or not they help hold your pants up! Whether bold and buckled or thin and beaded, waist belts can be worn over just about anything -- from dresses to cardigans and beyond -- to add a funky embellishment, a cinched waist, or a bold pop of color to a monochromatic ensemble as shown here by Stylediarist lucybrown. By accenting the slimmest part of your shape, even the thinnest belt is decoratively flattering by emphasizing your curves and doing your figure justice in a bulkier outfit that may otherwise make you look frumpy or shapeless. You'd be surprised at how a simple belt can go a long way in adding some new flair to old outfits!
