I'm A Belt Person Now

What makes up a complete belt wardrobe?

I used to scoff at the saleswomen who would peek their heads into the dressing room in my early 20s, never failing to suggest: “and you can belt it!” It might be that comment alone that made me think, for a very long time, that I was not a belt person. Rebellion against any advice.

But lately, nothing seems to feel finished without one! Maybe I’m older, maybe the styles are changing, or the sheer volume of options just makes them more compelling. But today I am coming at you with a very dense edit of five (well 5.5) types of belts, how and when to pair them and suggestions in each category. You will have to click the “view entire message” button at the bottom of this email, for which I’m sorry. But it will be worth it. Promise.
