When you’re standing up to play, you should have it at the same height you do when you’re sitting down to practice. So yeah, having the body below your waist when you’re performing may look cool, but it won’t make yo play better.
Correspondingly, do you use a guitar strap when sitting?
Always use a guitar strap when in a seated position, so that your hands and arms are completely free when you’re playing. A sliding guitar costs strength and accuracy. Place the guitar on your left leg in order to allow your playing hand to move to all positions.
Also know, does it matter what guitar strap you get? The weight of your strap is a personal preference. But avoid buying one that is heavier than you need. After all, the weight of the strap will add to the overall weight of your instrument, and you don’t want to carry around more than necessary.

LENGTH. Most guitar straps are made between 40” and 60” long.

It was common that steel string acoustics only came with the end pin and you tied the other end of the guitar strap around the headstock (usually between the nut and the first set of tuners).
