Belt Buckles are a great way to add some personality to your outfit.

Just as jewellery or a scarf can add a finishing touch to an outfit so too can an interesting Belt Buckle.

Now I know we don’t all have the same body type as Elle Macpherson but an interesting buckle can add interest to your outfit in a variety of ways. The key is to position your belt buckle so that it is most flattering to your figure.

A belt can be worn low on the hips if you are short waisted, this gives the effect of a longer torso.

If you have an hourglass figure then you should wear your belt at the narrowest part of your waist. belt buckle

You could also try putting a belt buckle over a jumper, jacket or coat

If you have a longer Torso you should position your belt buckle so that it sits higher up on your waist and go for a monochromatic look to match what you are wearing (black on black etc.) This will also help to elongate your legs.

If you are petite the Monochromatic look will work for you as well

Whatever your shape you CAN wear a belt buckle.

You just need to know where to position it on your figure to show if off the best.

Trends for this Season

So as our long, cold, wet Winter makes way, in Melbourne, for Spring… here are some of the trends for the season.

I think that I can happily avoid the ‘tribal prints’ trend but hey that’s just me..

Here goes:

1. Print Clashing

2. Neon Colours

3. Florals

4. Pink

5. Pastels

6. And best of all….the Spring/Summer trend is Western

It’s easy to use accessories to keep up with the latest trends without having to buy into the whole look.
