29 Oct 18 Slinkiest Chain Belts to Try Now
IT’S TIME TO DIG THROUGH YOUR 90’s / 00’s ARCHIVES AND GET REACQUAINTED WITH YOUR OLD FAVOURITE ACCESSORY, THE CHAIN BELT.
Amongst the crop of 90’s and Y2K trends that have been popping up fervently in recent times, the chain belt or waist chain is one that just seems to be looking chicer and chicer. Having adorned our feet and bags with chains of all sizes, it was only a matter of time until we turned our attention to the rest of our bodies. Suddenly a chain belt seems a perfectly nostalgic and chic way to add a little je ne sais quoi to your jeans-and-a-nice-top party look. Alternatively go for some 90’s Chanel vibes and slink a chain belt around your mini. If you’re looking for a way to update your transitional oversized blazer and jeans, look no further than a bit of waist chain action. A chain belt is basically going to add just a little touch of much needed pizazz to all your outfits this season. It will be a wise investment if you haven’t already unearthed one from your archives. Slightly lairy, but very fabulous vintage Versace, Chanel or Gucci numbers are hot ticket items. If your budget is slightly less grand try a deep dive on Etsy for something less fancy, but equally as stylish. Naturally the high street has you covered, as may your own wardrobe if you managed to hang on to your beloved waist bling from last time around.
