Your silhouette should always be the star.
This season is all about shape. From the polished structure of a high neckline to a defined waistline created by a chic belt, styling your silhouette is truly a head to toe effort!
High necks and belts are the on-trend way to play with proportion, balance, and polish in intentional ways.
In today’s blog, we’re spotlighting these two styling elements that are taking over this fall in the fashion world.
Scroll through to see how Candace & Whit are playing with belts and necklines to strategically flatter frames this season!
THE TREND: BELTS
They cinch. They’re a statement. What can’t they do? The belt is the perfect piece to pull any look together. Here are inspired ways to wear some of our favorite belts of the season, styled by Whit.
CORSET BELT LOOK
IN WHIT’S WORDS
I adore the oversized blazer and jeans combo, but the key is making sure you’re wearing the outfit — not the other way around!
This corset belt is a great way to cinch the waist over our blazer for less bulk and more proportion.
Add a sharp boot and sunnies and you’re effortlessly polished for a day on the go!
THE LOOK
Belt: Vaincourt Paris La Delicieuse belt
Blazer: Annie Bing Quinn Blazer
Turtleneck: FRAME The Hosiery Turtleneck
Denim: Paige Stevie Ankle Straight Jean
Shoe: Dolce Vita Arya Pointed Toe Bootie
Sunnies: Le Specs The Illusion Sunnies
THIN BELT LOOK
IN WHIT’S WORDS
A sweater maxi dress is a fall wardrobe essential. But like most long dresses or jumpsuits, it can feel one note or shapeless on its own.
A thin belt, like this tassel-style, can help to create a visual break in our silhouette that is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye and elongating.
Add a pointed toe boot and you’ll not only look chic but 3 inches taller!

THE TREND: HIGH NECKLINES
Elongating in excellence. High necks add instant elegance, elevating any look. Here’s how Candace would style the trend this season.
SWEATER LOOK
IN CANDACE’S WORDS
A high neck concept that you can take from the office to drinks.
This piece by Naadam creates some unique visual interest by further framing the face and naturally pulling the gaze down to the waist line.
THE LOOKCOAT LOOK
IN CANDACE’S WORDS
We love the idea of a funnel neck statement coat!
Opt for a simple black dress for the base.
For when the coat is removed, incorporate a jazzy earring so there is still some parallel focus at the frame of the face doing the same trick of pulling the eye down the body.

-Dress: SIMKHAI Janese Off-Shoulder Wool Midi Dress
-Bag: Toteme T-Lock Croc-Embossed Top-Handle Bag
