Belt: everyday accessory
A strip of fabric, leather or any other material, often flexible, attached to the garment or not, the belt is worn around the waist, as an undisputed fashion accessory.
Classic belts are most often made of leather, but there are also fabric and plastic belts. They can feature all sorts of embellishments, such as studs, embroidery, stitching, etc. There are also different fastening systems: knots, belt buckles, tightening mechanisms, etc., sometimes very elaborate!
The little story...
At the time, the belt was considered a primary object for hanging everyday accessories, both by men and women. The cloth or leather belt was supplanted in the 14th century by the half-belt, carrying strange relics and arousing enthusiasm.
Until the end of the 15th century, the belt remained an important part of the costume. Women initially simply tied it at the front of their waist, letting the end fall to the bottom of their dress; for men, it rarely went below thirty centimeters.
The belt, a fashion essential to enhance your outfits...
A belt is an essential accessory for both women and men. The great thing about this accessory is that it resists trends: you can buy a belt today and still be useful and fashionable tomorrow. It's a worthwhile investment for everyone!
Plus, it's super easy to play with this accessory: the belt gives us an extra opportunity to instantly enhance all our outfits! You can't miss the pretty looks of stars wearing superb outfits, paired with beautiful, discreet belts or, on the contrary, very sophisticated ones. You may have noticed fashion bloggers also getting into it, like Stéphanie Zwicky or Coline. Using the belt has now become a real game!
Depending on the trend, belts are worn higher or lower on the waist: between the bust and the hips. However, for men, there's no other option than to wear them tucked into the belt loops of their pants.
