I love belts. In my opinion, a belt can make an outfit, adding just that personalized touch. Whether it's a vintage number that you use to give your seasons-old coat a fresh new look, or that neon skinny belt that you wrap around a simple cocktail dress that has everyone asking: "Where did you get that frock?," belts are a game-changer. Sure, a new handbag or a pair of this season's "It" shoes will also up your style ante, but belts can be worn with multiple outfits, and are -- in most cases -- much less expensive.
The key to belting it out in style is deciding which waist-cincher is right for you, both in terms of look and fit. Are you an understated kind of gal? Then a subtle brown belt à la Jennifer Aniston is right for you. If you're a little more daring and take inspiration from the likes of Beyoncé or Lady Gaga, a studded corset-style belt might be right for you. And as with anything fashion-related, it's imperative that you take your shape into consideration when looking for a belt. But don't fret, dear reader, we've done the research for you.
