As summer in the fabulous city of Chicago is coming to an end, every Fashionista and Fashionisto is dying to wear her/his summer clothing before having to dive into the fall wardrobe. It’s the last time to wear the girly and flirty: dresses, skirts, short rompers etc. Next up are sweaters, scarves and big warm clothing. Some summer essentials, however, can go straight from summer to fall.
The item of the week is belts. Belts have been and always will be around. They are an accessory that can make or break any outfit and this Fashionista made the belt work into her outfit. The bold black belt statement with a gold accent made a statement and broke up the busy pattern of the romper. The great thing about belts is they can go from season to season. Lucky Magazine has posted a guide of the best belts for fall. In the fall any Fashionista can make their baggy sweater more figure flattering
On the runways for fall 2012 designers, such as: Herve Leger by Max Azria, Monique Lhuillier, Altuzarra and many more are showing belts in ways we have never seen them before. Altuzarra goes with the more basic thick black belt. Herve Leger, however, is taking a more dominatrix approach. Designers are showing belts with dresses, sweaters, trousers, etc. but they are also showing them with coats, fur vests and tunics.
Belts come in all different shapes, sizes, textures, and styles. Almost every outfit can use one. So how are you going to be sporting belts this season? Be creative!
