Skinny (under 1 inch): The shorter your torso, the narrower your belt should be. That way it doesn’t dominate your entire midsection.

Style tips: A vibrant color like yellow looks great on a white dress!

Medium (1-2 inches): This width works for all body types, especially women with a short torso who wants the look of a wide belt without corset like coverage.

Wide (more than 2 inches): Choose a wide belt if you have a long torso, a skinny belt only magnify your long center and looks out of place.
