How to Tie a Belt and Wear a Belt on Your Outerwear

When to belt outerwear

The main task of belting outerwear - it does not matter, with a belt that came with a coat or belt, to emphasize the waist to bring the figure closer to the hourglass.

First of all, we recommend girls with curvy forms to take a closer look at the belting of clothes. The use of a belt or belt on outerwear allows you to visually smooth out the fullness and emphasize the advantages.

It is important to use belts when the waist is weakly expressed - this occurs in both thin and fat girls. Emphasizing the waist will make the figure feminine.

4 nuances of using the belt:

1. The type of belt, belt should be selected for the figure. The larger the girl, the wider the belt for the coat, jacket, raincoat. Miniature girls are allowed to use thin straps and a lace belt, and curvy ones need to look at medium-width options, as well as wide belts, otherwise the belt will only emphasize the features of the figure;
2. The belt and belt should not be used if the waist circumference is greater than the girth of the hips;
3. You can't tighten the knot too tightly. In addition to physical discomfort, such manipulations also give the opposite visual effect - instead of a beautiful waist, a prominent stomach is formed;
4. If the waist is missing, think a few times whether to apply the belt. The fact is that the belt in this case will not create a miracle, but on the contrary, will attract attention to the shortcomings of the figure.

Well, now to practice - take out a coat or jacket from the closet - let's start experimenting! All the described methods of tying can also be used for dresses, skirts, shorts, trousers and jeans.

Simple ways

The first and easiest way to tie a belt on a coat, jacket, down jacket or raincoat is to simply twist its ends together. No manipulation is needed - cross parts of the belt and thread one into the loop. Adjust the position of the "twist" - exactly in the center or sideways, and make sure that the ends are the same length - only in this case this method of tying will look elegant and neat.

Another easy but elegant way is to throw one end of the belt over the other. One part should be longer, and the belt itself should be perfectly straightened. This method is more suitable for coats, the belts of which are made of dense heavy fabric - this will allow the ends to hang in even, straight lines.

The latter option is suitable for raincoats, coats and trench coats, which are equipped with a fabric strap with a buckle:

1. Fasten the belt as usual - insert the pin into the hole and fix it on the buckle;
2. Pull the free end through the harness and bring it under the belt already around the waist from below;
3. Pull the end through the top and insert into the formed loop;
4. Gently straighten parts of the structure to make everything look neat.

The resulting node is both simple and original.

Bow

This method is suitable for products equipped with a soft, pliable belt - found in coats, quilted jackets, some down jackets. It is better if the belt is made of a dense material that holds the shape, and not of a raincoat.

1. Occupation belt cross-wise;
2. Fold the ends in half along the length so that each forms a loop;
3. Wrap one loop around the second and thread into the resulting hole.

If the material of the coat and belt allows - it is soft enough and not too dense, tie a simple bow on a down jacket, raincoat or fur coat.

Half-bow

As a result, the waist is emphasized, and the clothes look stylish and neat.

1. Straighten the ends of the belt so that one is about 1.5 times longer;
2. Tighten the ends, as usual when tying a single knot - twisting them crosswise;
3. Fold the long end in half and wrap a short edge of the belt around it;
4. Into the resulting loop, extend a short edge and tighten.

The half-bow is placed in the center or on the side, and the ear of the bow on the bottom or top. The method is suitable for all types of belts and almost all outerwear - a coat, trench coat, down jacket, quilted jacket, down coat.

Node

The knot is a strong double twisting of the ends of the cross to the cross. An option for those who want to tie the belt, so that it does not untie. Suitable for relatively thin belts, since hard and thick tight tighten will not work.

The technique of tying is simple:

1. Level the ends to the same length;
2. Pull them together as usual crosswise to tie the primary knot;
3. Align the twist in the center or side - here at will;
4. Repeat the manipulation with crossing the ends to get a strong knot.

Behind

Tying the belt at the back is an option for those who wear a coat or raincoat open and, if the product has loops, loops around the perimeter where the strap is inserted. For the first time, such a knot began to be used for Burberry raincoats, but you can use it, of course, for any outerwear, if the density of the belt allows.

How to tie a belt on a coat at the back:

1. Insert the belt into the back and side loops, do not touch the front loops - they remain empty;
2. Pull the ends back, making one part of the belt slightly longer than the other;
3. Cross the ends and the part that was lower, throw over the upper end;
4. The same end is threaded into the loop formed from above, and then through the top stretch it through the lower loop.

At the back, you can tie a belt and a simple bow, by twisting the two parts of the strap once and crossing the two loops.

Hidden node

This method can be used to tie a belt on the coat in front and behind:

1. Pull down the belt as usual cross-wise;
2. The part that is on top, bend the bottom edge and stretch into the resulting loop;
3. Pull the knot.

Rose

An original way to beautifully tie a belt is a rose. This option is suitable for thin, fabric belts, since in other cases the fabric is not so pliable.

How to make a rose:

1. Cross the ends and tighten the belt as usual;
2. The tail of the belt, which is above folded in half in length, and then the place of bending is also in width;
3. The free edge of the belt is twisted into a tourniquet;
4. Wrap the resulting harness around the previously folded end of the belt and twist until the length of the two parts is approximately equal;
5. Secure the knot - extend the end that was twisted into a harness under the belt.

How to tie a belt on a down jacket or coat

The belts were dealt with, but how not to say about the trend of the season - belting outerwear with leather straps. The belt, unlike the belt, always has a buckle and a mechanism for fixation - a pin and holes or a clamp.

An ardent fan of the use of belts on jackets and down jackets is Emmanuelle Alt, a journalist from France. On her account at least a dozen bows, in which she used a belt for outerwear.

The most simple option is to simply tighten the belt, as usual - thread through the buckle and fix.

The belt can be short - after fastening, the free edge is not noticeable, or long - in this case, a relaxed, careless, daring outfit is obtained.

Do not forget about the color variations - a bright belt on the coat , even with the classic fastening technique, looks impressive and beautiful.

If you want to tie the belt non-standard, try the method with a simple knot. For this method, it is important that the strap is thin and flexible.

1. Fasten the belt as usual;
2. Extend the free end under the belt from the bottom, pull it from the top and thread it into the resulting loop.

Another fashionable and creative option is with a long fabric belt, as offered by the Off White brand. Such belts have a different buckle design - fixation is achieved not due to the pin and the hole, but by squeezing the strap with a clamp.

To get a fashionable outfit - just fasten the belt, as the design provides. The free edge turns out to be long – this is what we achieve. The image with the belt looks sloppy, but stylish.

Suitable for down jackets and jackets of a sports or close to it style, as well as for trench coats and straight-cut coats. For fur coats and fitted women's models of outerwear, it is better to choose another option.
