Anyone can look amazing in a retro belted waist, and there are so many ways to do it. The top doesn’t have to be fitted, the bottoms don’t have to flare.
A belt adds dimension to an ensemble and creates a division between two distinct pieces. For the adventurous fashionistas out there, you can play around with contrasting patterns and colors. Or you could keep things simple and go for classic combos, like black and white or solid and pattern.

You can’t go wrong with stripes! This look is basically the oldest trick in the book, so spice things up with accents like pops-of-color or novelty jewelry. You can get creative with your bag by trying a box-shaped handbag or something clear. These are modern shapes and styles that will contrast well.
You might also forgo the traditional retro heels for something more modern. We’ve all seen this look before, so find something that makes it your own!
