Belt on the hip. It is the ideal place to wear this accessory for women with short waist and chest. Combine it with wide garments if you want to disguise a prominent bust.

It is your best ally as both an ornamental and functional complement. It is useful for holding pants too loose, but also for enhancing your figure when you wear loose clothing. If you want to show a breakthrough image and create trend, we encourage you to use it with maxidresses and maxiskirts.

Wide belt. Women with high waist and slim can shape their silhouette with the use of this complement. The use of wide belts will give you volume and accentuate your curves. Choose bright shades and bet on eye-catching buckles.
