What is the perfect accessory to upgrade an outfit?

The perfect accessory to upgrade an outfit is a belt. Belts are back with bling added. Some of the popular styles are rhinestone, gold chains, blinged up cowboy belts and silk cord belts. Plus vintage belts from designers such as Chanel and Versace are the rage.

Chatelaine belts worn at the waist with a series of chains suspended from them, with pearls and chains, were shown at a recent Chanel show. Also many divas are creating mini purse belts by looping logo wallets, by designers, to chains.

Style a belt, a perfect accessory, with neutral basics and make a big statement. Decorative belts look great with jeans, dresses, sweaters or jumpsuits. Wear a narrow belt over a suit or blazer, for a new look, or a slip dress, looks chic, with a diamante belt.
