Vintage and retro belts are most often recognisable for their wide appearance, but over the decades belts have taken on a whole range of different trends, from PU finished belts and elasticated waspie belts before slimming down to skinny buckled belts.
Belts make the perfect addition to a number of vintage outfits - not just trousers or high waisted shorts! Cinch your waist with an elastic waspie belt while wearing a fitted dress or a flared dress, and accessorise your high waisted pencil skirt with a simple thin buckle belt.
Too many accessories can spoil the look of a vintage outfit, especially if they’re all centred around the same area. We suggest spacing your accessories out, so if you’re wearing a statement vintage belt, try wearing a bold pair of earrings with a bright pair of vintage shoes, or space your accessories even further apart by choosing a vintage hair accessory.
