Bold Belts

An instant style upgrade (without having to pull on another layer).

Contrary to what some store salesmen will tell you, your shoes and belt don't need to match. Especially in an era when fashion rules are loosening up. Plus, summertime calls for a little more color and a little less formality anyway. These eye-catching belts, crafted from such materials as woven leather, canvas and upcycled Moroccan rugs, make for an instant style upgrade. A way to give your look a boost without having to pull on another layer when it's hot out. So try one on and give your everyday belt a vacation.
