Hourglass
The "hourglass" shape is the most stylized silhouette, the one that reproduces more perfect shapes and there is a way to achieve it without your actual proportions being these. How? Very easy, putting a belt on your jacket.

This Songofstyle set has driven us crazy with its simplicity. The key is that the jacket falls below the hip and thanks to the 'V' neckline it makes you appear taller even if you wear flat shoes.

We loved the idea of wearing the belted blazer with a midi skirt. It is a very mother look so it is current and feels great.
Well adjusted
Well adjusted
One of the keys for this combo to have the effect we want is to adjust the jacket to the body well. It is not necessary to fasten it, you just have to cross it over the body and adjust it well with the belt.

One of the key garments of the season are the checked blazers and we have won the idea of wearing a wide brown belt over it. It is ideal!
Matching

Another solution that also favors is to wear a belt to match your blazer. It does not 'break' so much the block that the jacket creates, so in this case the heels can be interesting to refine the contours.

This type of long belts that are worn so much this season are also a good idea to adjust the blazers to the waist. You can wear it like this or turn it several times to make the belt appear wider.

Total black
Total black
A total look in black always stylizes but if you wear a skirt with a lot of volume like this one, it can add a few kilos despite its color. To counteract that effect, nothing like a belted blazer that marks the waist well.

Not only ordinary belts live this trend. The most elegant fanny packs can be the perfect solution to achieve this effect that improves the shape of the silhouette and also gives you a place to store your things comfortably. In this case, it can be worn with the jacket open and the white shirt underneath.

Or without anything and with the jacket tightly closed. We don't know which option we prefer …

Now that thinking about a style for a wedding is complicated by low temperatures, the idea of adding a blazer with a belt to your look becomes more attractive. In addition to being like a glove, you will give a very chic touch to a tulle skirt like this one. Very good choice made by Alexandra Lapp.

We have fallen in love with Jane Fonda's proposal because it cannot be better. She wears a suit with a jacket but with a belt and the effect, in addition to being rejuvenating, makes the silhouette appear much slimmer.
Watch out for the hips
Watch out for the hips
Be careful with this effect that jackets can do if they don't close properly. Make sure the jacket doesn't open at the bottom, like here, because it can make your hips appear wider than they actually are. Adjust it well to the body and problem solved.
With two better than one

We have been fascinated by the idea of wearing two belts of the same color over an oversized jacket like this one. If you wear it to match the pants it makes it even more stylish.

Blazer dress

The dress blazer has become very fashionable and if you want you can also wear your blazer dress with a belt that recreates that hourglass effect on your figure.
And with a sweater?
And with a sweater?
Nor is it a bad idea to incorporate this trend to the use of other garments that tend to be loose, such as sweaters. In this way, they fit around the waist and although the oversize effect is not lost, we do not put on extra kilos and there is no need to give up being very warm.
We have found the new trick that all influencers and stylists use to refine the silhouette and get it to have an hourglass shape without having to kill yourself to do sit-ups. Using a single accessory with one of the most basic wardrobe items we can get the body to change its contours very easily. How? Putting on a jacket and adjusting it to the body with a belt.
Blazer + Belt, the easiest way to look slimmer
It seems incredible that only with such a basic garment and that we all have in our closet like an American jacket and a belt can we get a great guy in a matter of seconds. But when all the influencers and stylists on planet earth agree on something, the trick works. But how do I combine it in my day to day?
- With jeans or pants. It is the simplest formula of all and the most effective. If you want the result to be more flattering, wear tight pants . In this way you can even do without heels because it stylizes a lot, especially when the belt is of a very different tone from the jacket and there is an important visual 'cut' between the torso and the hip . If you use a belt similar or equal to the jacket and unless it is black, better wear it with heels.
- With midi skirts. It is true that the look can be very 'mother' but this season we have rescued that classic style that has become a trend. You can wear it even on special occasions because it favors a lot. Of course, you have to be careful that the jacket is properly closed (it is better to cross the lapels than to wear it buttoned) because if it opens at the hip area we can achieve the exact opposite effect of what we were looking for.
