What Is a Garter Belt?

A garter belt is a lingerie accessory worn around the waist or hips with adjustable straps that attach to stockings to help keep them in place. Today, garter belts are worn both for their classic function and as a stylish lingerie piece that completes a coordinated look. They are commonly paired with matching bras, panties, and stockings for bridal occasions, special events, or simply because they make everyday lingerie feel a little more luxurious.

How Do You Wear a Garter Belt?

Start by fastening the garter belt comfortably around your waist or hips, depending on the style. Put on your stockings, then attach each adjustable garter strap to the reinforced welt at the top of the stocking. Most garter belts feature four to six straps that can be adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit. Finish the look with a coordinating bra and panty set or lingerie set for an elegant, polished silhouette.
