When purchasing a garter belt, there comes along with it several constituent lingerie items that coordinate to put forth a complete look and feel. First, is the belt itself. However, the priority should be to ensure that the style of garter belt worn suits ones body and style. For romantic purposes, accentuation of curves is the main goal, while for occasions that are more formal, a more practical and comfortable garter belt is favorable.

There has to be a match between the garter stocking, one’s underwear, and the outfit being worn. Sometimes the color can be a little different or maybe a slightly different shade from the rest, but accentuation with the other undergarments and the outfit is important. For example, when wearing red or black dress, especially for formal occasions, then a sensible choice of garter belt color is black. Black also goes well when paired with light or sky blue, as recent garter belt trend watchers have revealed.
If black garter belts are your choice, the choice of underwear and stockings comes next. A black garter belt matches perfectly with sheer or plain garter stockings in black color. Once the pairing of garter belt and garter stockings is accomplished, next to be decided upon is the underwear. The bra and panties are important to the overall look of your outfit. It would be unwise to have your garter ensemble clash with the underwear selection, so matching both these facets of undergarment attire is highly important.
It is not a must that the underwear matches seamlessly with the garter belt and stockings. However, they must be in a matching color scheme, keeping in mind your overall outfit. Black garter belts match almost any color within reasonable limits, such as red. Therefore a red combination of bra and panties would match up well with a black combination of garter belt and garter stockings. Matching textures of panty and garter belt is also vital. The general rule here is to match satin against satin, cotton and cotton, sheers with sheers, and lace to lace. One may also need to consider the fabric of dress or skirt worn when choosing the texture for the undergarments. (Great choice is at Frederick`s, Bebe, Etam)
Therefore, comfort and style, matching outfit and underwear are the main things to consider when pairing with a black garter belt. Detail and time are needed in this exercise, as not only is the style and fabric of the garter belt important, but so is the accompanying underwear and attire. Garter belts are used in conjunction with or to accentuate the outfit, and beneath it, the undergarments. |
