A belt changes the line of an open layer. A wide wrap, a narrow leather tie and a satin sash each bring a different finish.

01Keep it relaxed with a narrow tie

Try the Knot or Tether belt over a kimono and tie it without pulling the fabric tight. Let the sides fall naturally, then adjust the amount of fabric at the front.

02Add definition with a wider shape

The Embrace belt creates a broader line at the waist. Check both the belt measurements and the amount of fabric you want to wear underneath before choosing it.

03Use a sash as a colour accent

The Obi sash can pick up a colour in your print or introduce a contrast. Start with a simple knot; try a bow if you want the sash to become a more visible part of the outfit.
