12 Ways to Wear a Belt

how to wear belt around hips

Get low

While wearing your belt on your hips or above is the most common way, that’s not your only height option — instead, try a low-slung belt. Silvestre says that another simple way to incorporate a belt into your wardrobe is by wearing it loosely wrapped around the hips, outside the traditional loop. (She also knotted the belt and tucked the ends to add more interest to the look.) This look combines casual pieces (T-shirt, leather jacket) with more professional pieces (pants); so don’t be afraid to mix two different styles in one outfit.
