The Wrap Around: Why You’ll Love Fabric Belts

Belts are often hidden under shirts, secretly hoisting up your pants and preventing embarrassing underwear sightings. For those that are seen, they’re typically a neutral shade that sits quietly to complement a tucked in business shirt. Take your belt off the back burner and make it the center of attention by slipping on a fabric belt.

Fabric belts deserve to be front and center. Here’s why:

Eye-Grabbing Patterns

Unlike leather belts that typically stick to neutral tones, fabric belts come in a multitude of colors that bring life to any easygoing look. From neon shades to bold primaries, fabric belts hit every shade on the color spectrum. If you’re a lover of more than just one hue, go for a striped or geometric fabric belt that mixes your favorites. Try white and navy for a nautical look or go for something tricolored to pop against an all black ensemble.

Beautiful Buckles

Heel roller buckles with a metal ring and pin do the simple job of holding a belt in place. Though this is the most common buckle type, fabric belts have a heel roller alternative that acts as both a fastener and a statement piece. The clamp buckle is a rectangular plate with teeth that latch on to the belt’s fabric. Stand out with a metallic buckle or a multicolored clamp.

Striking Shapes

Fabric can range in bandwidth and size. For a sleeker, more refined look, try a thinner fabric belt. If the rectangular shape still doesn’t get you excited, try it in a botanical shaped style with leafy and floral motifs. Wrap it around the waist of a dress or simply slip it into the loops of your pants for decoration.

While some belts are meant to be hidden, others are meant to be seen. Show off what’s keeping your pants in place with a fabric belt.
