Belts

A Belt is a band worn around the waist to hold up garments like trousers, skirts or other articles. Belts are worn by men as well as women as a fashion accessory. One end of a belt may have a buckle and the other end may have holes into which a prong is inserted. A belt with clamp system may not require holes and prong. A belt can be worn tightly around the waist or put into trouser or skirt loops to give a better fitting. Some of the popular brands manufacturing ladies belts include Bench, Criminal, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Prada, Ralph Lauren and Dephect, among others.

Belts have many variations like sash, suspenders, maternity belly support, bandana scarf belt, branie and studded. Belts can be custom made to carry the name, signature or message of the wearer. A utility belt or duty belt has many pockets for carrying items. Utility belts are mostly used by women working as soldiers, police officers and repair personnel. Belts worn with dresses, jeans, trousers or skirts make the wardrobe look stylish and generally add a formal appearance. Leather and artificial snake skin belts are popular accessories with teenagers.
