Belts worn by women do not exactly serve any purpose other than being ornamental in most cases. Although leather belts are used often with jeans and casual wear, fancier ones make great accessories with eveningwear.
Women’s belts are definitely fancier and available in a lot more designs and styles than men’s belts. As with men’s belts, women’s belts are available in leather, plastic loops, plastic strips, and reptile and animal skins. They are available with tie-on or Velcro instead of plain old buckles.
Womens belts are usually studded with rhinestones, turquoise and other semi precious stones and go well with formal apparel. More expensive range includes custom made belts and those studded with diamonds and have gold or silver buckles. Ladies western belts come in a wide range. They are mostly made of reptile skins and are in chain models that are studded with rhinestones or turquoise.
Ladies leather belts are available in a wide variety of designs, styles and colors. Materials such as cloth and lace are also used to make sashes that come under the category of fancy belts. Belts that go with a particular dress are made to fit that particular outfit and do not usually go with anything else. However, most of the belts that are available in basket weave or loops and are made of different materials go with almost anything. Concho belts particularly go with most of the dressy outfits. They are available in a variety of designs such as studded with silver or rhinestones or other beaded studs.
Custom-made belts are manufactured on order. Even though they can be expensive compared to the regular ones available in the market, they can be customized and so are usually unique in style and design. Ladies belts designed by well-known designers such as Gucci, and Versace etc., are of high quality and unique stylish designs. They definitely make a lot of difference when worn with casuals or formal clothes.
Fancy belt buckles made into attractive designs also lend credit to the belts. Even diamond, gold and silver studded belt buckles can make a lot of difference to a plain leather or cloth belt. Reversible belts are also in vogue since they can be used both ways to go with different outfits.
