subject: Different Folks, Different Boy Belts [print this page] There are so many reason boys like to wear belts. Whether it's for fashion, comfort or simply tradition, these accessories have become almost part of the male psyche that they have sometimes been used as instruments for violence. Of course, this is a negative picture of boy belts that we would always discourage. But if you simply adore these accessories for how they add to your confidence, know how the three sizes they usually come in can have a dramatic effect on your look.
Slim Belts, Slim Waists
Slim belts are usually a favorite of girls, but if you like your boy belts the same way, thats perfectly fine as long as you have the right body type to go with them. In general, a slim belt, which is less than one inch thick, will look perfect on someone who isnt long-legged. If you have long legs, a slim belt will tend to make the impression that you have a wider waistline. This isnt going to be flattering, and it will surely not add to your confidence. So if you have the tendency to fancy slim belts, consider your physique before splurging on them.
Medium Size Fits All
Medium-size belts, or those that are between 1-2 inches, will look good on almost everyone, regardless of their body size and even their body shape. For example, if you are short-legged, a medium-sized belt will create an illusion that you actually have a wider belt, while if you are long-legged that belt will make itself look skinnier. This is the reason medium-sized boy belts are the most popular - they don't need the wearer to be of a particular body size or shape. As long as the accessory goes well with the outfit, it will do just fine.
Wide and Chic
Like slim belts, wide belts, which are wider than two inches, tend to be fancied more by women than men. Even so, wide boy belts can look absolutely perfect on guys, especially when worn with low-waist jeans. Belts of this size are actually made more as accents, so they usually have more attractive designs. When a wide belt is worn correctly, it does not only make an outfit look carefully chosen. It also makes the wearer look chic; the way wide belts of famous brands make their models look all glamorous on those fashion magazines.
Slim, medium or wide, boy belts are often a fashion statement in themselves, so if you're trying to decide which particular size to order, look into your fashion style. A belt alone won't make you look good. It's when the belt jives with your total personality that it can truly make a difference in your appearance.
