High-waisted belts are making a comeback, but this time round they are trendy and can turn a simple little outfit into a glammed A-list styled look.

From the catwalk to the red carpet and even at your local shopping mall, you'll notice that the girls are going crazy over high-waisted belts. Thick and thin, from PVC to satin, high-waisted belts and high-waisted accents are making a comeback.

Worn with dresses, skirts, pants and even over business suits, this elegantly wasted fashion accessory takes a small detail and turns it into a huge deal. It cinches in your waist and in all the right places, creating that sexy hourglass figure.

High-waisted belts can look good on any figure; it's just about dressing it up the right way. If you're long and lean, you can go for just about any look. But if you're more on the curvaceous side, then you probably want to hide your bumps.

A good look for you is a simple white button up shirt that is tailored. Get it nipped in the waist, so that it fits looser around your tummy. With this look, you can wear your high-waisted belt around the fitted area, and no one will even know what you're hiding underneath. Never, ever wear the belt in the middle of your tummy if you have a fuller figure, or you will just cause more unnecessary bumps ahead.

High-waisted belts work well with both casual, daytime looks, and can be used to dress up a little black number for a night on the town. Try a plain black dress that's simple and sophisticated and pair it with a glitzy high-waisted belt. You're instantly transformed from plain Jane into stylish fashionista.

It wasn’t that long ago that hip hugging styles swarmed streets everywhere, finding its pinnacle in Britney Spears’ almost disgracefully low Levis. Now, fashion has provided a much more elegant look and it seems the high waist has travelled from the 1940s into the present with explosive consequences.
Firstly, for novice “High-Waisters” stick with skirts, they are more comfortable, easier than trousers and flattering to most body types. Start with subdued or darker shades, like black, navy blue or black. As you develop the look you can reach out into prints, stripes and vibrant colours. It is important to make sure your skirt is crisply pressed, wrinkles create bunches which can cause unflattering lumps. With high-waists, everything must be smooth.

When deciding on your top half, choose a thin or short top that is easily tucked in. Thin cotton t-shirts and silk or structured blouses work best. A fresh white blouse paired with a black high-waisted skirt sends out a definite message of sophistication, it is a look that can be adapted to any scenario: from a day in the office to cocktails in the evening to a day shopping. Its versatility makes it a high-effect, low-effort look.

Naturally, with this look, the waist is the focal point. A belt is therefore, paramount. From delicate skinny to thick and wide, there are so many options. This is where you can allow a little creativity: choose a belt that will accentuate but also stand out from your outfit. Make it a fashion piece in itself. Also, belts can camouflage and hide any bulges you make have, ensuring a streamlined appearance.
