Maya just wrote my blog post on wide vs. narrow belts. Clever little veggie sausage :0)</p> <p>All you need to do is wear a wide belt that’s a little narrower, April. Keep the scale right for your height and frame. Rute has a larger bustline with a tiny waist AND wears skinny belts extremely well. And Maya wears skinny belts well too even though they bother her. I am a lot straighter everywhere (and getting straighter each year I might add), and can wear both skinny and wide belts. I hope that makes sense.</p> <p>I expect to see pics of you with belts shortly! Off you go and experiment. I know you'll look fab :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-belts-for-whom-with-shout-out-to-rute#post-73927 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 03:42:35 +0000 Maya 73927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think, based on my personal experimentation, the only people who have to be careful with wide belts are:</p> <p>-The large-busted (it just looks awkward having boobs spilling out over the belt)<br /> -The short-waisted (there isn't enough room for a wide belt)</p> <p>Since I meet both of those criteria, I avoid them like the plague. </p> <p>You absolutely must own a wide belt if:</p> <p>-You're long waisted (since they visually shorten the torso and accent the waist, which is usually small on a long-waisted frame)</p> <p>For everyone else, I think you just need to experiment. You never know unless you try. My guess is that it will be hit or miss. In your case, I can't imagine you will have a problem. You are so slim that it doesn't even matter if your waist isn't super defined. It's tiny by any standard. Belts come in lots of different widths though, and your magic number might be a little narrower than Angie's, since you are smaller than her. In short, try on a bunch. You lose nothing by trying. Even stubborn me gave the look a try, knowing fully that it probably wouldn't be flattering. But in the process I did discover that I could wear thin belts, at least from a visual standpoint (I can't wear them from a comfort standpoint though). So you might make some discoveries along the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wide-belts-for-whom-with-shout-out-to-rute#post-73924 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 03:30:39 +0000 April 73924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just reading Rute's post about her outfits with wide vs. narrow belts <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-outfits-includes-cascading-cardi?replies=13" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=13</a> and I have a question about this.</p> <p>What body types can wear wide belts with the best results? I don't have a very defined waist, but I'm not sure if this works in favor of a wider belt or not? I know Angie wore one very effectively (redundant ) in her recent photos with San, so my guess is they can work on straighter body types, but how about if you're 5'2" instead of 5'6"? </p>
