One of the main trends of 2017 is a female leather belt - with proper selection, it is capable of emphasizing femininity, give elegance and style of its owner. This accessory will dilute any bow, will add new accents into it, the silhouette will outline. A well-selected leather strap will suit an absolutely every girl, the main thing is to be able to competently combine it with different images.
Peculiarities
In 2017, women's belts acquire one blinking line - they can wear with any things, regardless of their texture, material and style. Coats, Sweaters, Palantines, Dresses - Fashion does not put any restrictions on the use of belts in completely different images. Having several models in the wardrobe, you can experiment every day with your style and create original bows.
Models
Usually women's belts are divided into narrow and wide. Narrow (1-3 cm) are presented in a larger assortment. Spectrum of choice is unmanufactured: representatives of the mass market and famous couturier offer lacquered straps of bright, dark, pastel tones, intertwined braids, long (for double waist girth) and many others. Thin belts are well combined with both jeans and dresses and sundresses.
The width of the wide belt varies from 5 to 15 centimeters, and its main accent is often the massive buckle. This thing can be worn without using loops, over clothes, on the waist and on the hips. With dense tissues, it is better to combine a belt-gum, tightly adjacent to the body.
Braided strap is another type of accessory, which looks with jeans, silk blouses and dresses. It is advisable to acquire the "braid" of natural shades - brown, beige or black colors - such straps look organically with any thing.
The most interesting model of leather female belts - spinning - combines sensuality and shock in one image. Here you can select a special kind of belts worn on the leg. In the 20th century, the tights of the legs were considered an attribute of gothic fashion and fetishism, however, modern fashion revised its attitude towards these accessories. Now they serve soon to underline their own sexuality.
Similar belts look very stylishly with skirts, shorts, narrow jeans and gentle linen.
Choose a model on the figure
Despite the visible advantages of the belts, we most often come across difficulties when choosing them. Let's try to figure out how to choose this capricious accessory correctly to highlight the virtues of the shape and hide its flaws.
Girls with a figure "Apple", "Rectangle" and holders of lush forms are suitable belt-corsets and thin straps, which visually narrow the waist.
Wide belt will be perfectly sitting on the "hourglass". Also, this is the best solution for girls with a type of "Pear" figure, which should be abstained from carrying belts on the thigh line - it will make them massive. Full women are better not to wear wide belts: they are only weighing the silhouette and increase the volume.
Tips for choosing
In order to determine the optimal length of the accessory, you need to measure the girth of the hips and the waist - depending on exactly how it is planned to wear it. You should not acquire a belt with a tail more than 30 cm, otherwise it will hang. With a fixed size of the loop, it is better to choose a belt not wider than 4 cm so that it can be combined with different outlets of the wardrobe.
Color solutions
Women's leather belts of pastel and bright shades are remarkably suitable for the summer season. Especially well soft tones look at white and colored clothing. More stringent and dark (brown, black, gray) are desirable to pick up under trousers or jeans. Thusted, a bright accessory must elaborate with another detail of the image: shoes, bag, gloves. Onions with one knocking out of the overall range in color looks tasteless.
In addition, the women who are prone to completeness should not wear too bright, knocking out of the overall range of belts, because they are capable of visually sharing the figure in half. There is much better belt, selected for the color of the clothes. The belt of one tone with a skirt or trousers will allow visually to make the legs longer.
The most basic model is a narrow black strap - it will suit almost any things of the wardrobe. But the dark biker option will not "make friends" with classic trousers and skirts.
How to distinguish genuine skin from artificial?
Belts made from high-quality material will serve for a long time and will retain a presentable appearance for many years. Some tricks will help to distinguish natural skin from the leatherette:
- If the belt material does not have a characteristic smell of the skin of the animal or does not smell like - in front of you the leatherette;
- The skin absorbs water well, so if you want a strap, it will darken. Leatherette moisture pushed;
- Natural material quickly heats up and keeps heat. It is easy to hold the accessory in your hands and a little confused - its temperature will rise;
- In the ignition, the skin does not melt and does not make out unpleasant odor, which also distinguishes it from artificial analogues. To check, you need to install the belt tip (only provided that it is not lacquered!)

In this summer season, belts with various floral and ethnic prints, with metal crosses and rings, with rhinestone and chains, rude biker models, as well as western belts are especially popular.

You can give old things (such as clothes or a broken leather shoe) a new life. In order to cut out an uncomplicated belt from the skin, a regular stationery knife will be required.
What way to fasten?
Like clothes, absolutely all female belts are customized from left to right. This requirement does not disappear any centuries, however, there is exceptions: the belts on men's jeans for convenience can be fastened to the right left.
Care
To maintain a good condition of the leather accessory, special lubricants and solutions should be used that do not give the material to become dry and hard. Also suitable cream with bee waxing or any hand and face cream. Such delicate care will help soften the skin. Another useful tool is coconut oil. When rubbing it into the surface of the belt, the product acquires shine and rich color.
What about cleaning? There is a mistaken opinion that this process is complex and laborious. In fact, you can clean the leather thing at home using an ordinary leather care agent, such as wax for shoes (it can be bought at any store).
Return a belt lost glitter in addition to coconut oil will help a solution of food soda and water (mixed in equal shares). Distribute it throughout the accessory, not forgetting about the ribs, and leave for an hour. After that, wash the applied fluid and dry the product in the fresh air. It remains only to launch a small amount of olive oil and walk on the belt with a dry napkin - and ready!

What to wear?
Now almost any thing, be it trousers or dress, can be decorated with a leather strap. Different combinations will help every day look new. However, it must be remembered that the narrow belt, as a rule, requires a low waist line, and wide - overestimated.
One dress allows you to create many different bows. It all depends only on exactly how you want to place accents in your image.
The tunic can be worn with a thin strap of the neutral shade. Cocktail models are best combined with unusual belts, decorated with flowers or curly buckles. Leather belt-cushing will complement strict or office dress. Grasing the glue dress with a wide strap of a dark shade, you can visually narrow the waist.
We can even ride with leather belts even the upper clothes. Especially feminine accessories look with a coat. The belt color in this image can be picked up to clothing - then it will serve specifically for the notation of the waist, or stand out against the background of the general gamma.
Biker and ethnic belts will add "peppercords" in bows with air cotton blouses and gentle summer sundresses with open shoulders.
Belt-corsets are perfectly combined with elegant lush dresses, pencil skirts and even skinny jeans.
You can wear belts in different ways: tightly tightening on the waist, or freely on the hips. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of their figure. So, a weakly tightened belt on the full body will look not aesthetic.
