Belt Summary

         A belt is a flexible band, traditionally made of leather, heavy cloth or woven tape and worn around the waist to support trousers or other articles of clothing. Sometimes, as a part of a uniform, skirt or dress, it serves for style and decoration. A girdle, one type of belts and constructed of elasticized fabric, is designed to enhance a woman’s figure. 

A belt looks more attractive because of a buckle, and a buckle becomes more stylish because of a belt. Please see the following fashion belts from L&M, two of which are still attractive without buckles.
