Fall 2010 Fashion Week Trend: Belts
February 19th, 2010
Style tip? The beauty of belts are how they can help create a silhouette. For those of you with defined waists, the belt can reinforce your hourglass silhouette. And for those of you with a more boyish, up-and-down shape, the belt can create the illusion of a defined waist. Wear your belt slung low, as at VPL, or up high (and even over your coat!) as at Marc by Marc Jacobs. Or use a belt to create visual interest in an otherwise monochromatic outfit, as at Proenza Schouler.
What do you think? How would you wear a belt? Share your thoughts in the comments!

I think it’s funny that this is considered a trend. I think belts are a classic accessory. I’m actually wearing a belt at my waist because I’m one of the unfortunately straight waisted ladies of the world.

I am 49, tend toward a modernist, slightly punk but overall pretty conservative look so the belt right under the bust will never happen on me.
I do wear them at the waist and sometimes over cardigans and light jackets. I don’t rock the at the hip thing any more because it remind me too much of the overdone boho/gypsy look.
This year is all about skinny belts for this lady. That said I did see a few wider stretch belts I may have to snag to go with pencil skirts.
