ELTS are important as they can change your image significantly and boost it one hundred times or absolutely ruin it. Belts generally make us look slimmer, add chic to the garment we wear, distract attention from problem areas. Tiny and wide belts appear to be the season’s most soughtafter waist accessory. And celebrities and fashionistas are sporting them. They come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and hues, and they can put in so much proportion to any outfit. Tiny belts: Tiny belts are in fashion this season. They come in a diversity of colours and materials and can go with just anything, from an evening gown or jumpsuit to a pant-and-blouse combination. Jewellery belts: Jewellery belts are embellished with stones, metal details, clips, rivets and so on. Such belts look glamorous and tender and serve as nice decorations to evening outfits. But you can wear it with your casual clothes as well, if you wish to look feminine. Fabric belts: Various clothing materials are used to make them,and these are ankara, tie, satin, suede, velvet and silk. At times, some are decorated with sequins or beads. The softness of fabrics allows to experiment with knots. Wide belts: If there are thin belts, there must be wide belts as well. This season, we see a lot of wide belts which come in various hues, shapes and designs. Belts are important and do a lot to complement our look and most importantly, they show off a woman’s curve.
