  • Thin, cord type belts are good on persons with short waists and petite figures.
  • Wide belts are the best for tall persons who are with long waists.
  • Contrasting -plain or large printed – dress emphasizes the belt. Hence this defines waistline better.
  • Belt worn over kurtas/kurtis will enhance the beauty of Indian ladies.
  • Emphasising buckled belts over dark outfits suit persons with wide waists.
