JASGOOD Stretchy Elastic Skinny Belt 2 Pack
A skinny elastic belt is one of the most useful small things in a wardrobe. This JASGOOD set has two, each with a gold-tone buckle.
Why elastic
A stretch belt moves with you. It stays comfortable at the waist when you sit, eat or bend, where a stiff leather belt can dig in. That makes it ideal for belting dresses and cardigans rather than holding up trousers.
Where to wear it
- At the natural waist, the narrowest part of your middle, over a dress.
- Over a long cardigan, worn open, to give it shape.
- Over a loose top worn with slim trousers.
Belting at the waist gives a defined shape to loose clothes.
Two colours
Two belts usually means two colours, often black and brown. Black goes with dark and bright outfits; brown with neutrals and denim. Check the listing for the pair you get.
Size
Elastic belts stretch, but only so far. Measure your waist and compare with the size chart. Too tight and it will ride up; too loose and it will slide.
Care
Do not stretch elastic over heat, and do not leave it stretched for long periods. Wipe clean.
What it will not do
It will not hold up heavy jeans; it is not built for that. Elastic loses stretch over years of use. And a skinny belt will not suit very wide trousers or heavy coats.
