The humble leather belt that was once there for a specific purpose has now risen in status to evolve as an essential accessory that can really make or mar an outfit. They are two key rules to follow while picking up a leather belt — one, choose something that adds to the look you are trying to achieve and two, it should fit the occasion. Basically, leather belts come in three varieties – printed, studded and distressed. Printed leather belts can be worn at the workplace with several top brands giving the accessory a whole new look nowadays. Studded ones give you an opportunity to display your adventurous façade and are perfect for the fashionistas. These beauties with the chunky look help add some character to an evening look. The distressed belts give you the best vintage look and the old school, worn out look of these belts make them ideal for casual wear. Stylist Bharath says, “Belts are the most underrated accessories which can make or break a look. It’s the easiest way to make a statement. Belts also give you the freedom to wear your attitude with words, names and even pictures embossed. You can put your own individual stamp on this item. They are the perfect accessories to add some character to any look.”
