I’ve been around long enough to watch trends come and go and then come back again. I can vividly remember wearing my favorite electric blue stretch jeans, vertically striped white and blue shirt with my wide electric blue belt over top my shirt on an 8th grade trip to Washington DC, the year was 1988. Now here we are again, loving wide belts, but this time with a little more fashion sense (no more electric blue for me). The thing I love about wide belts is how it can give you the appearance of a thinner frame. By wearing it just below the ribcage, creating that hourglass look, it is a look that anyone can pull off. What girl doesn’t want a flattering figure? If it can be faked with a wide belt, all the better. Wide belts vary from plain to embellished and can add more pizzazz to your wardrobe. They can be used to dress up an otherwise lackluster shirtdress or they can add contrast to the color of your shirt, wide belts are functional yet a versatile accessory this season. If you were around when wide belts were in style in the late 80’s, are you welcoming them back into your wardrobe?
