All About Belts S/S 2006

[*Happiness*]

I really am enjoying this thread! Belts...lovely, esp if you have the nice waist to wear them.

Belts are very nice.
As long as they are not worn down on the butt.

Belts have never looked quite right on me because I have long legs and a very very short torso. Even with 'super low rise' jeans (which sit like normal low rise jeans on me), my top still always covers my belt and I hate that big bulge under your shirt. Know what I mean?

I lucked out and got the Yves Saint Laurent black patent leather knock-off at H&M this week.

To make matters even better it was 50% off! Less than $10 I guess...

Can't stop wearing it but also picked up some super cool vintage ones over the weekend that are even better. Anyhow, if you like this look go check out H&M's "Divided" line for spring. There are LOTS of wide belts.

Does anyone know the name of the Australian designer who makes or has made a diamante belt in the shape of a bow , I think Keira Knightley was wearing a variation of it maybe at the Globes. Well whoever makes it it is a gorgeous belt.

I like wide belts but I'm so dead-over the 50's silhouette... how many freaking seasons in a row has it been?

Fantastic pictures, Desire! Is this a trend only for women, or also for men?

i'm guessing it's only for women, it'd be a bit odd on men. but i've found that long coats you tie up at the front give a look that nods to it, both looks have the high-waist tailored thing going on and are both very now. the only way i've been able to make this look okay on me is by putting a skinny belt over loose t-shirts and cardigans, but it does look pretty extreme, so be prepared for funny looks.

i have to say i think i'm getting sick of this trend already though, the only good thing to come out of it in my opinion is a reconsideration of high waists on women.

This has probably already been discussed but I wanted to revive this thread and discussion since it hasn't been touched in months...

What kind of belts are you guys seeing around/wearing this spring/summer?
How do you see belts fitting into your wardrobe?

I have been wearing a wide white vintage belt (straight from my mother's closet) lately around dresses and with black skinny pants and black top....
I think the look lately is very much about defining the waist and belts certainly do that if worn high enough...

I also wear a regular width (it would fit through belt-loops of pants) around an untucked button down..

For me, I feel like no type of belt is off limits.... whether it be chain, beaded, braided, woven etc... as long as you get creative with it I think it willl work
