Try outfit first
Try on the outfit and decide where you want the belt or that lung nam to sit – hips or waist. Use a measuring tape to determine the proper belt length
Belts generally come with five holes; a comfortable fit will use the third hole. Tightening further can cause an unattractive "muffin top" effect.
Step 2
Determine width
Determine the width you need. A belt worn over a dress or shirt can be any width. If you’re wearing it around your hips, use a belt that is narrow at the top and follows the contour of your hips.
Step 3
Choose a color
Select a belt or that lung nam that is the same color as your outfit. Or, if you choose a belt for contrast, make sure it complements colors or design elsewhere in the outfit.
Step 4
Enhance but don’t clash
Enhance your outfit with a fancy-cut or textured belt, but avoid clashing. For a conservative ensemble the belt should be less noticeable.
Create a belt using a men’s tie, fastening it with three-inch strips of adhesive Velcro.
Step 5
Highlight your waist
Highlight your waist when wearing separates by tucking your shirt in. Add a belt that best fits the belt loop width.
Step 6
Try fun alternatives
Wear metal belts with segments, Indian beads and leather, fancy fabric weaves, even scarves, for a fun look when going casual.
