Guide to Peplum Belts

Guide to Peplum Belts The peplum look has often been commented on by critics in the fashion world as “difficult to pull off,” but one thing is sure - peplums are fun and unique. Today, it is still visible on the runway just as often as shifts. And it’s definitely a look that both slim girls and plus-sized girls can wear. Origin of the PeplumThe heydays of peplum fashion were in the 1940s to 1980s, and it has been around long before then. In fact, there were instances when this silhouette was seen as far back as Ancient Greece. During the Classical period, the Greeks wore an outfit called the peplos. This is where the term”peplum”originated. It was made of a long tube of fabric that was draped and tied at the waist, then cinched to create the peplum shape. A more structured version of the peplum came into fashion during the Renaissance. This version has the peplum flared outward over the hips, rather than draping across the body. It resurfaced during the Victorian era as a predecessor to the bustle. During the 1940s, the peplum has become what it looks like today. Christian Dior’s “New Look” was very popular at that time, and it became what every woman wanted to imitate the stylish, classic hourglass shape. It was less structured than its predecessors, but it provided plenty of volume. It faded out of popularity by the 1950s, but resurfaced again in the 1980s, when the flared waistline was back in fashion. The 80s version of the peplum began at the hips rather than the waist. With the current trend in fashion that revives nostalgic trends of the past, the peplum has made a comeback since 2011. Thanks to Jil Sanders’ Spring 2011 collection, the style has been slowly reintroduced to women’s wardrobes. If you want the peplum effect but you don’t have a peplum top, you can opt for a peplum belt. It’s a stylish way to highlight your midsection and gives you a new and fun way to accentuate your waistline while wearing a dress, a fitting blouse and pencil skirt, or a fitting blouse and skinny jeans.

What Is a Weightlifting Belt?

What Is a Weightlifting Belt? A weightlifting belt is a type of belt used when lifting weights. Before, almost everyone who lifted weights in any form or shape used a weightlifting belt. However, in the present time, only a few people use them in the gym. It’s because a lot of “experts” claimed that using a weightlifting belt is a crutch that can weaken the lower back muscles, and as well as core strength in general. If you think that weightlifting belts act as a brace to support your torso so that your muscles don’t have to, well, you’re wrong. It’s because weightlifting belts are used to help you increase the use of your abs and lower-back muscles. According to research wearing a belt while lifting either has little effect on the use of the lower back muscles, or it can actually increase their use by up to 25%. If you are curious about weightlifting belts and you really want to know more about them, if they are good or bad, then you’ve come to the right place. Today, we are giving you more information about weightlifting beltsand their positive and negative effects when used. Powerlifting Belt: This type is used by powerlifters because it allows them to squat and deadlift more weight. Another concern is its potential safety benefit. It is designed specifically for the sport of powerlifting, making them heavy-duty and stiff. A powerlifting belt also has more surface area on your abs, and it has a buckle that you can pull as tight as you want for a remarkable amount of internal pressure build-up.Traditional Weightlifting Belt: Most traditional weightlifting belts are made of leather. They are also thicker in the back than in the front part. A traditional weightlifting belt is only as thick as the belts that hold up your pants. The way they buckle and fasten is the same as powerlifting belts. However, they are not as strong. They can provide less internal pressure, as well. Velcro Belt: This type of weightlifting belt is usually made of synthetic material, and is held onto your body using only Velcro. This means that it has a limit to how much force you can exert against it before the Velcro pops off and it loosens. The amount of intra-abdominal pressure that a Velcro belt generates is far less. It may give you an added injury protection, but you might not get much when it comes to performance boost. The Benefits of a Weightlifting Belt It can stabilize and reduce stress on your spine.Wearing a belt during weightlifting can increase intra-abdominal pressure by up to 40% based on some studies. There’s also one study that reported that compression of the intervertebral discs was reduced by 50 percent when a weightlifting belt was used. It can help create better body biomechanics.According to research, wearing a weightlifting belt when lifting boxes can reduce the amount of forward-bend at the spine, bending back of the spine, and bending side to side. But it can increase the amount of flexion at the hips and knees. This means that a weightlifting belt forces you to lift more using your legs and not your back. This is the biochemical position that is best used when lifting something from the ground, which is also the one you want to use during squats and deadlifts using a barbell. You can get better performance with a weightlifting belt.Based on studies, wearing a weightlifting belt can actually increase your strength, power, and muscle growth for lower body exercises like the squat. Aside from that, researches showed that wearing a weightlifting belt during squats can help in increasing the muscle activity of the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles. Disadvantages of Using a Weightlifting Belt It can mess with motor learning.One of the concerns when it comes to wearing weightlifting belts is it might prevent proper motor learning. A lot of exercises in the gym require a correct pattern of recruitment of the abdominals. If you are a beginner, wearing a weightlifting belt might circumvent your learning of how to squeeze your abs tightly and in the right way during a heavy lift. It’s because the weightlifting belt just takes over. It can make your lower back wimpy.Another concern about using a weightlifting belt is that it is going to cause you a weaker lower back. It’s because when you wear one, the stress will be taken off the back, and stress is what drives adaptation. However, if you come and think about it, almost all of the strongest weightlifters in the world wear belts all the time in competitions and as well as training. Do you think they have weak lower backs? Things to Consider Before Using a Weightlifting BeltIf you are determined to strap a weightlifting belt the next time you hit the gym, there are certain things you need to learn and consider. The first one is how to breathe correctly to be able to make intra-abdominal pressure. If you cannot do this, then you will have a difficult time stabilizing your spine, which can lead to back pain. Another thing you need to consider is the fit of the weightlifting belt. Make sure that it fits you well and that it sits right. It should be tight enough that you will not be able to stick your hand between the belt and your skin. However, you also need to ensure that you can still expand your torso when taking a deep breath. When wearing a weightlifting belt, position it an inch or two above your pelvis. This way, it will cover more of your abdominal and spinal erector muscles. Should You Wear a Weightlifting Belt? Wearing a weightlifting belt will depend on your preference. There are many lifters who wear a weightlifting belt, while many also never do. If you decide to wear one, it is better to stick to the simple Velcro kind, especially if it’s only for workouts, and if you are not a powerlifter. The hard leather variety might look cool, but they should only be used for the specific purpose of performance enhancement.It is a highly personal decision, whether you are going to wear one or not. Just go with what will make you feel more comfortable when lifting. We hope that the information we shared gave you ideas on what a weightlifting belt is, and what it can offer.

You don’t have to know Kung Fu or be in a Japanese costume to be able to wear an obi belt. You can wear it as an accessory for your everyday clothes. Obi is a Japanese term for “sash,” and an obi knot is a traditional knot for the sash or thick belts worn with karate, aikido, and judo martial arts uniforms. These are also traditionally found in women’s kimonos. Obi belts were first worn by geishas in Japan to call attention to the woman’s curves, giving an effect of being a present waiting to be unwrapped. Since this belt style isn’t only popular in Japan, you can use this belt for showing off your curves. Today, it’s still just as subtly sexy. Obi belts tend to wrap around the waist and cling to your natural shape. From a fashion standpoint, it adds a unique decorative element to your attire.

Make it cross over in the middle of your back, then return them to the front.Tie the remaining part into a knot at your front. Loop knot This is a pretty loop that’s lowkey but stylish. Bring the center of the belt flat against the middle of your back. Hold the ends in front.Make the ends cross over and pull one end through the loop to create the first knot.Cross over the ends and pull the middle point of one side of the belt through the gap. Pull it tight to make a pretty loop. Double knot If you want the belt to stay in place all day, do a double knot. Follow steps 1-2 from on how to make a basic tie.Pull the ends tight to secure a knot. Then, repeat this process to double the knot. Twice wrapped If your obi belt is lengthy, you can wrap it twice around your waist and knot it for a thicker look. This technique works well when wearing kimonos, and for thin obi belts. Place the middle of the belt around your back and wrap it in your front.Wrap the ends around your body once again and make them meet back at your belly button.Finish the look with a knot. Tie at the back There’s no rule saying that an obi belt is meant to have a knot at the front. Position the center of the belt around your back.Wrap the ends around your body and make it cross over your back.Tie a double knot at the back. You may need help to do this properly.Tie at the sides Wearing a dress? Make it look even more special by swiveling the knot to the side.To do this, make a basic tie, a double knot or a loop knot - whatever you wish and just swivel the belt around so that the knot sits over one side of the hip. Tips for Wearing an Obi Belt 1. Wear it wisely to shape your silhouetteIf you want to break up a long torso, or fake an instant hourglass shape, wear an obi belt. It can be used to cinch in your waist and add shape to your figure. Here are some “rules” for wearing obi belt. The taller you are, the thicker your obi belt can be. If you’re petite, then opt for thinner obi belts. The more boyish your silhouette is, the more exaggerated you should tie your obi belt. If you’re curvy, tie your obi belt with a small and sleek knot. 2. Make it a focal point of your outfitObi belts are kind of a bold choice for a belt, so once you wear it, give it the spotlight. This means it’s better to keep away busy prints, big accessories, and super bright colors from the rest of your outfit. Make it your statement piece and nothing else to achieve a pulled-together, chic look. With an obi belt, less is really more. 3. Be choosy with your bagWearing a crossbody bag means straps cutting off at your obi belt at an awkward angle. A shoulder bag will cause the fabric to bunch under the arms. So when planning to wear an obi belt, avoid these two kinds of bags. Instead, opt for a clutch (if you’re wearing evening wear), or carry a tote bag or handbag from the crook of your arm. Classy, right? This way, you can carry your essentials while keeping it from interfering with the silhouette of your outfit.
