Born as a functional accessory, the belt has become a decorative piece used to accentuate the waist. Styles include jewelled belts with rhinestones and coloured stones, corset belts to wear over the top of clothes, rock-inspired leather maxi belts, suede animal print belts, or those with printed designs that mimic luxurious leopard or zebra coats, or snake skin. Thanks to its versatile nature, the belt adds instant character to any outfit.
