I love when you show us samples of belts that do work and don’t work with an outfit. It’s easy to visually see and tie it in with your explanation. Great video and very helpful!

[weeuuuweeuuu]

Saving my life from being horribly tragic growing up with an older brother thank you

This is great, Lydia. It would be interesting to see your take on belt placement and width for different body shapes, other than your fantastic figure. How to use belts to balance body proportions, not just outfit proportions.

Liked this video. You really nailed it with your examples. You explain WHY a certain belt works (or doesn’t), something many of us already sense but may not have ever heard articulated. Thanks!

Perfect timing as I'm just about to order a couple of belts. Previously inspired by you as I've never really used them, but have seen through your videos how great they can make a simple outfit look. Thank you xx

Hello Lydia. I loved the video. A big help!!! Fantastic!!! I'm going to share with you a trick I use when I want to wear a necklace and pants that I don't like to wear without a belt. If the pants are black, I put on a black belt with a black buckle. Thus, the belt is almost invisible, without becoming striking, leaving room for the necklace to shine.

This has been by far the most useful video I’ve seen in years! I’ve always been perplexed how to style belts.Thank you Lydia 😀

[deniseyounger]

I think your body type suits belts but not everyone. I love how detailed you are about styling🦋

[lucyleopard]

Very useful video, interesting to see how thin belts work as I tend to choose a belt by the size of the belt loops. Would be really good to see an item with the right belt and with the wrong belt side by side/split screen. Would love to see a video of your recent purchases - and before the items are sold out!

Thanks for an another very usable video. :) Lydia, I noticed that you're pleating your tops and shirt when you tuck them in, and I can see how good this is for defining the waist. Can you show us how you do it please?

Great belt ideas. I would luv to see a what's new in your wardrobe. TFS

Hello and thank you for this video! I really enjoyed it. I personally don't wear belts. I never like it for some odd reason. I don't feel comfortable with the belt digging into my stomach all the time and I feel that it's dividing me in half. I am not tall enough to give up any centimeters of my height (I am 1.64 cm). It looks great on you, but it's not for all body types for sure. I am Pear shaped and belts should look great on me, but I disagree with that. For the Apple shaped lady I would never recommend any belt (usually stomach is the widest place in their body). Would be very interesting if you would like to make a video about it!

[bstrong]

Your hair looks beautiful. Great video, thanks!

[drhollybattey]

Great video. Love the dos and dont's with visuals. Would love to see a fall/winter version of this belt video!

[sherrylucas]

Excellent video! Would love to see what’s new in your wardrobe! I was about to make a comment about wearing wider belts with a full printed skirt or dress, and then you covered it with the blue belt!

[losingmychic]

AHA! The necklace OR belt guideline now that was useful, the other day I just couldn't work out why my outfit felt off and that was the reason, thanks Lydia!!

[lyndsymelly]

Love the green 2 piece on you! Nice to see you in colour 😀

[bridlong]

Thanks for all the helpful tips. I adore the blazer and belt you are wearing. I'm stealing your style yet again xxx

[doanetriggs]

EXCELLENT relational supporting the critical elements of belt selection!👏👏👏

Really interesting video, to show, how using different belts, can change a look.
Would you say using different sleeve lengths, can have the same effect.
I find rolling my sleeves up on a shirt, can really accentuate my waist.
