Hot Belt Trends for Fall 2009

Belts are more than just a way to keep your pants up! They provide another accent to your outfit, shape your silhouette and can be a great way to make a statement.
There are a few simple guidelines to follow for fall and winter this year. First of all, the wider the belt, the more restrained the color should be. Wider belts are great for cinching in a outfit, or layering over a cardigan – but keep the colors muted.
If you want to add a pop of color to your outfit with a belt, go for a skinny belt. Wearing multiple skinny belts at a time is also trendy, but can be hard for most women to pull off. Try wearing a skinny belt that wraps a couple of times around your waist instead.
Metallic chain belts can also be a fun way to add a bold accent to your look, but I’d personally recommend keeping them for dressier occasions.
