I am a pear shape woman so I love to belt everything: dresses, skirts, pants. A belt can add personality and accent your body shape.

You can belt higher (above your tummy) or you may want to forfeit the belt and use one of my belly hiding strategies https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-hide-your-belly/

Hi Esther, glad to hear you’re on board with belts. They really are a useful and beautiful accessory.

My hourglass shape allows me to wear them often they always give my outfit a finishing touch. I love to find vintage leather belts and special embellishments for nighttime. Thanks for your post very informative.

Esther

Hello Carol! I think I can help you with that. Have you looked at ADA Collection? I love her belts! and I’m almost sure she has those twisted rope belts with tassels you’re looking for and they’re also one size so prob will fit you well. Her website is adacollection.com
Hope I could help!

I wanted to say: “Carol, if you find one, give me a shout too”. But then I went through the post again and saw that your type of belts is not for tall, straight people like me haha. You can love something but that doesn’t mean it suits you (in my case).

Can anyone tell me where to find such a belt? I own a silky black one that came from a Spiegel catalog, but it’s long past its prime. I’ve actually considered converting a set of drapery tie backs, but they tend to be too short.

I am hourglass (and more full-figured than I used to be) so you would think that it’s easy, but I also have a very short upper body (Seriously, I don’t think I could wear an obi-style belt that is both two inches below my bust AND above my waist — there just isn’t room) and long lower body, and belts emphasize my vertical form. It’s Sylvia’s fault. I used to just look at myself in the mirror and the belt looked good around my waist. But then our New Years’ challenge last year made me decide to take some pictures — and I realized how out of proportion they made me look. Hip level belts would be the vertical solution, but they don’t hit me at my best spot. Yep, I’m a mess.

I think you explained everything very well. Like Sheela Goh I keep forgetting belts. but unlike her, I do own quite a few belts and good ones too. Still, when creating an outfit I keep forgetting them. Or I feel wearing a necklace (which I do almost all the time) and a belt is too much. But most of the time, I just forget. So thanks for reminding me of this great styling item.

Hi Patti,
Obi belts are comfortable and chic. Anything that can mix those two elements is a winner in my book!

Hi Sheela,
It took me a while to add belts to my look, too. I’m sure you’ll look great, it’s all about self-expression, after all– who would have thought that wearing a belt at the ribcage would be fashionable? And yet, Michelle Obama does precisely that and looks fabulous!
