Throughout my youth one thing that was always on my birthday and Christmas lists was a nice dress belt. Needless-to-say, every year my ‘loved’ ones fail to deliver, time and time again. It was only when I hit my twenties that they finally heard my pleas and bought me one – about freaken time.
So that’s my belt story. It is not a very good one but what an you can do.
As far as belts go, I am much of a novice. I have always just had the ‘school-boy’ belt and the basic dress belt. It has been only recently that I was given a brown leather ‘casual’ belt as well. I do not understand big belt buckles, I do not understand those belts that are clearly not doing any belting and are sitting around looking pretty. I do not understand those ‘belt’ looking things that simply wrap around a woman’s hips and that is it. I think it is pretty safe to say the I have missed the belt boat and probably need to buy a ticket somewhere.
This is my version of a nice decent belt:
…how can you go wrong. It’s stylish yet it doesn’t overbear the whole outfit. It’s a nice dressy little number that is under USD$20.
And now, what Ripp thinks of belts:
- what do you think of belts?
- I think belts are wonderful
- What makes a good belt?
- A good belt is a belt that isn’t obnoxious, that ranges in sizes from 4+/- your own size, no spikes no chains none of that shit
- How important is a belt to completing your look?
- It has to be formal, they work and they look nice
- Belts, big or small?
- I prefer belts that don’t have holes especially, the ones with the little device that you can adjust to any spot on the belt
