Saucy belts, embellished belts, buckles that look like a brooch, braided belts, belts that have dangling bells, belts with rhinestones, belts with a name tag for a buckle and many more. These are the modern day leather belts. And if you thought these belts would be looped around a feminine waist, think again. The uber-sexual/metro-sexual male is not ashamed to have a bold belt around his waist. Of course the boldness does not extend to formal corporate wear but on a pair of jeans- it is always welcome.

A belt is now as much a style statement as a pair of shoes. The latest trend to hit male clothing are belts with gothic buckles; studded belts, belts embellished with stones and even one that has a miniature roulette on it. Designs on modern fashion belts are limited only by imagination. However it is not the belt around the waist alone that is catching people’s fancy.

Suspender belts are still popular although certain sections of people consider it to be old-fashioned. These can also express the economic status of a man by means of the materials that were used to create it. The high quality ones are made from costly materials and always attached to the pants by means of buttons. While silk and box-cloth were the traditional materials used in making suspenders these days it is rayon that is widely used. Whether it is suspenders or a black leather belt both these accessories are a must-have in any body’s wardrobe.
