Top Five Belt Tips From JMS

From the desk of JMS Designer Regina Martin

Belts are part of any well-accessorized outfit. The function of the belt goes far beyond keeping one’s pants up. Belts add a whole new dimension to your wardrobe. Add texture and polish to your outfit. Plus, emphasize your assets!

Plus women should never shy away from belts… Plus women need to look for belts made with them in mind; made just for them.

Here are my favorite TOP FIVE BELT TIPS:

QUICK CHANGE: Belts allow you to change your look quickly & easy. For work, look for an elegant belt with a polished buckle & sleek belt strap. Worn with a favorite black dress, a stylish belt creates a professional look for the work day. For a night out on the town, replace the belt with a chain belt for sassy flair.

ELASTIC PLEASE: Look for a hidden stretch buckle. This very clever technology will be your secret and gives you comfort throughout the day.

MIND THE GAP: Look for “Gapping Control” technology. We’ve all experienced it — you put on your favorite jeans but then the belt pulls away from your body at the back leaving an unflattering gap. Now, gapping control technology eliminates this gap gaffe.

WAIST OR WAIST NOT: Above the natural waistline, at the natural waistline, below natural waistline and on the hips are all great places for belts to sit. You need to find the best position to enhance your assets. So, start with evaluating your shape and think of the following:

Hourglass shape: Belting at the natural waistline will show off your curves, not hide them
Oval shape: Positioning the belt above the natural waistline creates the illusion of a curvy shape. Or, sling on the hips to elongate your torso.

JUST TRY ME: Plus women — don’t think belts are not for you, they’re for everyone! The key is to find belts that are specifically designed with you in mind. At JMS, our sole focus is you. So look for the JMS belt collection available at Walmart designed to enhance just you.
