Belt under cardigan? Or belt over cardigan?
A few good belts are important accessories in your professional wardrobe. The age-old conundrum has been posed to us for much pondering and deliberation - should the belt go over or under the cardigan? Well, after looking over many examples, the “international belt committee” has determined that both ways can work. Here are two examples of chic casual work outfits with cardigans and belts – one work outfit with a skirt and blouse, and the other with pants and blouse. It also depends on the figure of the woman wearing the belt. Try it both ways in front of the mirror and check out which works the best for you. What do you think?
While browsing around Nordstrom’s we found a couple of examples of nice casual work outfits in plus sizes that are very accessorized well. For plus size outfits we recommend long necklaces as accessories.
TOP: This work outfit consists of a staple black skirt, with a casual cardigan over a classic white blouse. This ensemble would have worked well by itself, but accessorized with the lime green multi string necklace it gets a completely different feel to it. Don’t under estimate how just one accessory can change the look of a professional attire outfit.
BOTTOM: The blue cardigan set is rather plain by itself, even though good quality. In this image it is the necklace and the purse that makes this work outfit what it is. Accessorize a plain work outfit with two accessories that don’t necessarily match, but that add spunk and class. When using un-matching accessories limit them to 2 – if you use 3 or more un-matching accessories, it will look messy.
