Whether you’re a real cowgirl or want to look like one, the right belt is essential. It’s a great way to define your waist and look polished and pulled together.
To determine your correct belt size, use a flexible measuring tape to measure your waist circumference and add two inches. This will give you the best belt fit.
Color
Whether you live on a ranch or love the Western style, you can’t go wrong with a cowgirl belt. Add your favorite pair of jeans, a hat and boots, and you’ll be ready to two-step in no time.
The color of the belt should match your other clothes. For example, if you usually wear warm colors such as brown, beige or cream, choose a belt in that color. Alternatively, you can opt for a black belt that goes well with dress pants, trousers and western wedding attire.
To find the perfect size, put on your jeans or skirt and use a flexible tape measure to wrap around the waist through the belt loops. Then, choose a belt the same length as your waist size (measured at the center hole); skinny and narrow straps look best for women with apple, pear or rectangular body shapes. The same goes for petite women.
Material
Many of our belts are handwoven and embroidered with eye-catching patterns that can complement almost any style of dress or top.
It is also important to consider the material of your belt. A thin leather belt will pair nicely with a lighter dress or skirt, while a thicker fabric belt can look great with heavier tops and pants.
Finally, it is important to keep the unique proportions of your height and torso length in mind when choosing a belt. A professional stylist and image consultant recommends narrow belts for slim figures, while wide belts look great on full-figured women.
To find the perfect belt size, measure your waist circumference (without the buckle) and choose a belt size 15-17 cm larger than your waist size to ensure a comfortable fit.
Length
A slim, narrow belt is a great way to achieve a cowgirl look. This is the perfect accessory for wearing with a pair of high-waisted jeans and a white tee. The country girl belts are also a great addition to your wardrobe if you plan to attend a country music concert or other event.
It’s important to choose the right length for your belt. Ideally, select one at least 15-17 inches longer than your waist circumference (counting without the buckle). This will guarantee that the belt fits comfortably without being overly tight.
By removing a current belt from its snaps that you wear frequently, you can measure it to determine the correct belt size. A flexible tape measure should be wrapped around your waist where the belt rests through its belt loops (but not the buckle). The belt should then be laid flat on a flat surface. This measurement is your belt size. Then, compare it to the belt measurements listed for each size belt.
Buckle
A belt buckle is a great way to show off your personality and add a touch of sparkle to your outfit. You can choose from various metals and styles to find the perfect match. Some buckles feature creative embroidery, tasteful crosses or elegant two-tone designs. Others have a bold style with intricate scrollwork and engraving. The buckle should also complement the metal on any other Western accessories you may be wearing, like a watch or bolo tie.
If you need clarification on your belt size, try putting on a pair of pants or jeans and measuring the area where you want to wear your belt. This will give you a general idea of your waist size, but add 2-3 inches to this number when choosing a belt. This will ensure your belt fits comfortably and doesn’t feel too tight or loose. This is especially important if you plan to wear the belt around your hips or high on your waistline.
