Leather Belt for a Rectangle Shape

The leather belt is a shape-defining essential for the rectangle figure, creating visual waist definition where the natural torso runs straight. Worn at the natural waist over dresses, tunics, or long cardigans, it introduces the curve and proportion that a similar-width bust-waist-hip line doesn't naturally provide. The key is placement—cinching at the narrowest point breaks up the vertical line and builds an hourglass effect through pure structure.
